The view of parallel rolls is a beautiful thing - and not just the rolls that often accompany your favorite pasta dish! We're talking about industrial rolls.  When they're precisely parallel, they produce faster throughput, higher quality, and more uptime.

Rolls that are not precisely parallel might result in problems like:

• Vibration
• Premature roll and bearing wear
• Improper web tracking, wrinkling and tearing
• Uneven coatings
• Substandard registration

We're often asked how to make rolls (or other components) parallel. One way to approach the job would be like this:

East Coast Metrology is an ISO 9001-certified provider of precision measurement services for a diverse client base of manufacturers.
