    Abstract: A spectroscopic sensor for measuring flat sheet product is disclosed. The disclosed sensor uses a combination of spectrometers and single-channel detectors and filters together with a broadband source of illumination to optimally measure multiple properties of a flat sheet product. A spectrometer is used to measure over a spectral range where an easily configurable set of wavelength channels is needed and where the signal-to-noise ratios and spectral resolutions of the channels are consistent with the spectral range and number of pixels of the spectrometer; while one or more single channel detector and filter combinations are used to measure, with high signal-to-noise ratio, at specific wavelengths within or outside the spectral range of the spectrometer(s). Therefore, the single channel detectors can be used to complement the information provided by a spectrometer or to extend the working range of a spectrometer by providing single wavelength measurements anywhere in the visible, near-IR or mid-IR spectral regions.

    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for measuring on-line the color and color-related properties of a moving sheet. Contrast ratio reflectance measurements are made for providing opacity corrections substantially in real time for a full color spectrum. An optical color sensor in accordance with the invention includes a pair of synchronized spectrometers, the first spectrometer being aligned to view a region of the sheet backed with a highly reflective ("white") material and the second spectrometer being aligned to view a region of the sheet backed with a highly absorptive ("black") material. The use of two spectrometers permits substantially simultaneous "black" and "white" measurements for a full color spectrum. The optical color sensing system further includes two light sources, a flashlamp and a continuously energized tungsten filament lamp. Light beams from the two sources are combined to form a sheet-illuminating third beam approximating the D65 standard source. The intensity of the flashlamp is electronically controlled to maintain the balance of UV to visible light that characterizes the standard source. The color sensor further includes a sheet backing system including a rotatable standard wheel carrying a white standard tile. Provision is made to permit rotation of the standard wheel and to standardize the sensor off-sheet while maintaining isolation of the white standard tile from the paper mill environment. The sheet backing system includes a paper guide plate defining an annular vortex space into which air is introduced from a pressurized source. A low pressure region thereby produced in the vortex space draws the paper sheet toward the guide plate. At the same time, circulating air spirals outwardly from the vortex space to form a thin air film or air bearing between the sheet and the paper guide. Sheet flutter is thereby minimized and damage to the sheet is prevented.
