A magnetic version of the popular TRUPAK blanket packing gauge.
Trupak Plus has all of the features of the original, PLUS the added feature of "self-locking" to the blanket cylinder for hands-free operation.
Designed for presses over 25" with bearers.
Not compatible with aluminum or alloy cylinders.

TRUPAK+ has been designed to give repeatable, accurate measurements. As with any precision measuring tool, keep the gauge clean and store it in it's box when not in use. Due to the magnetic base, keep the TRUPAK+ away from any material that might be affected by magnetic fields, (computer disks, etc.). No calibration is ever neccessary on the TRUPAK+.

To use TRUPAK+ follow these simple steps.

1. Place the gauge onto the blanket or plate so that the contact point in resting on the bearer.
2. "Zero" the dial by rotating the outer ring until the "0" lines up with the needle.
3. Move the gauge onto the blanket or plate away from the edge of the blanket so that the contact point rests on the blanket or plate.
4. Read the height of the blanket or plate relative to the bearer. A reading to the right side (+) indicates a blanket or plate above the bearer by the amount shown. A reading to the left side (-) indicates a blanket or plate below the bearer by the amount shown.
