Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring thickness of a fiber material during manufacture of the fiber material, especially paper in a paper-making machine, comprises a gamma radiation transceiver in communication with a processing/control system. The gamma radiation transceiver is placed at a points along the production path of the web of paper being produced and liberates gamma radiation towards the fiber material. Backscatter of gamma radiation is received by the gamma transceiver also which generates corresponding signals that are received by the processing/control system. The processing/control system processes the signals to determine a thickness profile along a cross-section of the web. The processing/control system may be in communication with or considered a subset of a main processing/control system for the paper-making machine. A gamma radiation shield may be used with the gamma transceiver and is mounted on the side of the paper web opposite the gamma transceiver. The gamma transceiver preferably includes a cover made from a gamma radiation abating material that is selectively positionable over the gamma radiators. Several gamma transceivers may be positioned along the production path of the web of paper and in communication with the processing/control system in order to provide thickness measurement at various points of the web.

Abstract: A paper machine has a high pressure liquid pump for use with a liquid slitter for slitting a fiber material web. The high pressure liquid pump includes a pump shell having an axis of rotation and an annular smooth inwardly facing surface. The inwardly facing surface is configured for carrying a film of liquid thereon. A hydraulic shoe having an outer convexly curved working face is in close running engagement with the inwardly facing surface. A pivotal arm is connected with the shoe and positions the shoe relative to the inwardly facing surface. The arm is movable toward and away from the inwardly facing surface. A hydraulic pressure member is engaged with the arm for urging the shoe toward the inwardly facing surface dependent upon a hydraulic pressure therein. The pump shell is driven about the axis of rotation, thereby continuously moving the inwardly facing surface of the pump shell past the shoe and continuously forming a hydraulic wedge of high-pressure liquid between the inwardly facing surface and the working face.

Abstract: A machine or making a fiber web such as paper with the fiber web having a running direction in the machine, the machine including a dryer section which removes moisture from the fiber web and a laser cutter assembly disposed adjacent the fiber web that generates a laser beam for cutting the fiber web. The laser cutter assembly includes a conduit that the laser beam passes through. The conduit includes a fluid inlet for receiving a fluid extinguishant such as carbon dioxide gas. A heat sink is used to prevent the laser through the conduit when the fluid extinguishant is absent in the conduit. The fluid extinguishant emitting from an outlet of the conduit inhibits generation of a flame caused by the cutting of the fiber web by the laser beam.
