Roll Alignment |

 Having trouble with wrinkles?
Is your material wandering or walking to one side?
Then you have a roll alignment problem! A Maverick Systems roll alignment is the answer. We will assess the machine to determine where the trouble is originating from in your process. Whether it's film lines, paper mills, printing presses, or corrugated lines, we have years of experience dealing with all types of alignment issues on many types of machines. Our history of performing complete turnkey relocations and installations provides Maverick Systems technicians with not only extensive alignment experience, but the capability to perform all the necessary mechanical corrections for all types of machines.
The most difficult alignment is the horizontal parallelism between the rolls; the vertical parallelism is relatively simple using a machinist level. Maverick Systems recommends a full assessment of your roll line to determine exactly where the problem areas are. The traditional way of going off benchmarks that were pre-established for your machines centerline takes too much time to set up and has other issues as discussed below. We have incorporated a quick set up method utilizing an offset centerline technique that will save time on finding and correcting the problem. Our initial action is to thoroughly check the equipment in order to properly diagnose where the problem originates. At that point, we have all the data needed to create an intelligent plan for corrective action.
 Choosing a Reference
Traditional methods of roll alignment usually use floor benchmarks (monuments) at the side of the machine as references. Benchmarks are usually set in a thin concrete floor, are rarely covered, and are routinely run over and nicked. More importantly, they move with their slab of concrete and rarely hold their position relative to the mill itself. Most floors in a typical plant have multiple slabs and are usually cracked throughout, creating instability of the monuments. Unless checked every time they are used, the use of the benchmark will most likely result in significant alignment errors. Our laser offers the versatility of using the benchmarks or of picking up a reference roll, such as a cooch roll on paper mills. However, we strongly believe that using a reference roll provides a more accurate reference and results in better alignments.
