FujiFilm Prescale Nip Impression Film

Fujifilm Prescale^® Nip Impression Film Placed Between Two Nip Rolls




Fujifilm Prescale^® is a unique, affordable and easy to use tool that reveals the distribution and magnitude ofpressure between any two mating rolls whether rubber, steel or composite.Fujifilm Prescale^® is a mylar based film that contains a layer of tiny microcapsules. The application of force upon the film causes the microcapsules to rupture, producing an instantaneous and permanent high resolution “topographical” image of pressure variation across the contact area.
Simply place Fujifilm Prescale^®pressure indicating sensor film between any two surfaces that touch, mate or impact. Apply pressure, remove it and immediately the film reveals the pressure distribution profile that occurred between the two surfaces. Conceptually similar to Litmus paper, the color intensity of Fujifilm Prescale^® is directly related to the amount of pressure applied to it. The greater the pressure, the more intense the color.
Fujifilm Prescale^® is extremely thin (4 to 8 mils) which enables it to conform to curved surfaces. It is ideal for invasive intolerant environments and tight spaces not accessible to conventional electronic transducers.
Have you ever needed to evaluate pressure or force between two touching or mating surfaces? Previously, your only alternatives were strain gauges and load cells, that are both time consuming and difficult to interface. Now with the advent of our disposable one-time use pressure film, Fujifilm Prescale^®, evaluating surface contact pressure distribution and magnitude is accurate, quick and highly economical.

Fujifilm Prescale Pressure Indicating Film

Fujifilm Prescale^® is a unique, affordable and easy to use tool that reveals the distribution and magnitude of surface contact pressure in your battery lamination and calendering press.

Fujifilm Prescale^® sensor film is used to measure surface contact pressure across both lamination platens and calendering rollers. Fujifilm Prescale^® reveals both pressure distribution and magnitude between these surfaces in a dramatic surface “map.”
When placed in your lamination or calendering press, the film instantaneously and permanently changes color in direct proportion to the actual pressure applied. Philosophically similar to the indication given by Litmus paper. Precise pressure magnitude is then easily determined by comparing the resultant color intensity to a standardized color correlation chart. No training or instrumentation is required.
Have you ever needed to evaluate pressure or force between two touching or mating surfaces? Previously, your only alternatives were strain gauges and load cells, that are both time consuming and difficult to interface. Now with the advent of our disposable one-time use pressure film, Fujifilm Prescale^®, evaluating surface contact pressure distribution and magnitude is accurate, quick and highly economical.

Benefits

• Correct uneven lamination.
• Minimize delamination during battery discharge.
• Minimize poor contact between the electrodes and their current collectors.
• Quickly observe and correct uneven thicknesses.

Sensor Products to Market Fuji Prescale Film

Sensor Products, Inc., a leader in the field of tactile pressure and force measurement, is pleased to announce it is offering Fuji Prescale pressure film. The film is a mylar tactile pressure indicating sensor film that instantly reveals surface pressure magnitude and distribution between contacting or impacting surfaces. When placed between the surfaces it permanently turns different shades of red, with the color intensity being directly proportional to the amount of pressure applied. Prescale pressure indicating film shows precisely how bolted joints engage and deform under stress. Pressure variations are shown by the color changes left on the film. These colors can be compared to a color calibration chart to determine the exact pressure distribution.
While no instrumentation is required, the film impression can also be digitalized through imaging. Topaq, an imaging analysis program, assigns colors to pressure values. This graphic reveals pressure variations in a bolted joint interface. The non-uniform pressure distribution may be caused by a variety of factors including dimensional irregularities, surface roughness, and uneven bolt torque.

Since it is difficult to measure the force exerted by the bolts directly, torque values are often assigned for assembly based on trial and error. Prescale speeds assembly by quickly validating and confirming sufficient bolt torque to assure uniform interfacial pressure. To adjust torque values, the film is placed at the bolted joint interface and the bolts are tightened to apply pressure. The film is then removed and reviewed to see if the pressure is uniform. Common applications include measuring the interface pressure of bolted joints, gaskets, clamps, fasteners, connectors, flanges, valves, o-rings, and welding heads, among others. Wind applications include testing the bolted joints used in turbines.

Prescale is thin and flexible, allowing it to conform to both curved and straight surfaces. It may be hand or laser cut to fit unusual shapes and dimensions. It is ideal for invasive and intolerant environments not accessible to conventional transducers. The film confirms FEA predictions and has widespread applicability in research, design and test; assembly and production, quality control, and maintenance.

FujiFilm Prescale Pressure Indicating Film Head Gasket Example

Fujifilm developed Prescale^® to reveal pressure between any two contacting surfaces. This thin flexible film conforms to both straight and curved surfaces and is very easy to use. Simply place Prescale^® between two surfaces and apply force. Instantaneously, a high resolution pressure map (profile) is produced. Different gradations of color are calibrated to different amounts of pressure in PSI or kg/cm². Pressure distribution is seen at a glance and can be visually inspected. For great detail, the film can be analyzed through imaging products.
