Why roll alignment drifts — and why it matters
Roll parallelism is the foundation of web handling. Misaligned rolls create tracking problems, wrinkles, uneven tension, baggy edges, and coating defects — symptoms that appear downstream of the actual cause and burn days of troubleshooting. Alignment drifts with thermal cycling, bearing wear, maintenance work, and even seasonal foundation movement. Most converting operations only discover it after quality has already suffered.
What's in the kit
The IMC roll alignment kit packages the core measurement tooling and documented procedure our field service engineers use for roll parallelism verification — configured so a trained maintenance technician can perform routine alignment checks and corrections without waiting for a service call. The kit is a standard package that fits most roll-to-roll converting equipment.
Kit plus service: a complete alignment program
The kit is designed to complement, not replace, precision alignment service. Use IMC alignment services to establish a documented baseline with laser instrumentation, then use the kit for periodic verification and minor corrections between visits. Your maintenance records capture as-found and as-left conditions either way.
Works on any machine
Like IMC's alignment services, the kit applies to web handling equipment from any manufacturer — coaters, calenders, laminators, slitters, and general converting lines.
