Send Nick the Problem

Start with the symptom

What is the machine doing?

Roll quality

Wrinkles, telescoping, starring, poor edges, or rolls that become too soft or too hard through the build.

Tension & winding control

Unwind and rewind tension, taper, torque sharing, dancers, load cells, and brake or drive response.

Speed & stopping

Section coordination, acceleration, slowdown, stopping, diameter calculations and feedback.

Mechanical interaction

Nips, rider rolls, shafts, chucks and unwind geometry. Coordinate alignment work when the machine needs it.

Controls & drives

PLC and HMI logic, drive setup, recipes, diagnostics, obsolete hardware and upgrade planning.

Setup & people

Machine-specific guidance that helps operators repeat good setups and maintenance find a useful starting point.

From the symptom to the correction

Follow the problem through the machine.

A roll defect is the starting point, not the diagnosis. IMS works with your operators and maintenance team, checks the relationships between machine sections, and makes or coordinates agreed corrections. Testing records what changed, what was checked and what still needs attention.

The right support for the job.

Troubleshooting and upgrades improve the machine. IMS Ops builds operating and maintenance capability. IMS Verify provides focused, documented performance checks.
