How does it work?

The measurement is based on measuring the deceleration of an impact hammer hitting the sample over 30 times per second while simultaneously measuring the location of the profiler. After measurement, the device displays the hardness profile and statistical KPI values of the measured roll, allowing for a quick and efficient judgment of the roll quality with a convenient alert limits feature.

The device is provided with Tapio RollView, an easy-to-use software for further processing of the measured data on a computer system. The complimentary software is available for download and install at https://github.com/Tapio-Measurement-Technologies/tapio-rollview
