    摘要: Apparatus and process for controlling the basis weight of paper produced in a papermaking machine are provided. In the papermaking process, a major portion of the paper stock flows through a first line that is controlled by a thick stock valve and a minor portion of the stock flow from the stuff box to the headbox is diverted through a second line that is regulated by a second valve (e.g., vernier valve). The thick stock valve is controlled by the dry end basis weight and the second valve responsive to measurements of the basis weight of the wet stock at the wire. The second line and control valve along with the wet end basis weight measurements form a fine control loop with fast response time whereas the first line and control valve that is responsive to dry end basis weight measurements form a course control loop. The dual control loops enable fast and actual basis weight control.

    摘要: A system of providing fast machine direction (MD) and cross direction (CD) basis weight adjustments using a simultaneous multi-point water weight sensor which provides independent MD and CD measurements is described. The water weight sensor is placed under the wire of the sheetmaking machine and provides fast wet end water weight measurements which are converted into predicted dry end basis weight information and used to control operating variables of machine elements in the sheetmaking machine to compensate for high frequency process variations. MD wet end measurements are used to control operating variables of machine elements that influence the MD dry end basis weight and CD wet end measurements are used to control operating variables of machine elements that influence CD dry end basis weight.

    摘要: An on-line laser triangulation position sensing system provides measurements of the surface features of a moving sheet such as paper. The measurements are correlatable with measurements made with standard laboratory surface smoothness testers and provide predictions of the printability of paper during its fabrication. The sensing system includes a segmented balance detector having a high frequency response. The sensing system further includes signal processing circuitry comprising a plurality of channels, each channel including a filter. The various filters have different cutoff frequencies for passing different frequency spectra representing ranges of surface feature scale sizes. The cutoff frequency of each filter is varied in response to variations in sheet speed. The sheet sensing system further includes a sheet stabilizer to minimize flutter in the measurement region and a standardizing member permitting performance verification of the sensor system at at least one scale size spectrum. The sensing system may also be provided with a sheet compressor to compress the sheet in the measurement region so as to simulate the pressures applied to sheet samples by laboratory air leak smoothness testers. The output of the position sensing system may be used in conjunction with various kinds of papermaking machines to control one or more of the many papermaking process parameters that determine the smoothness or texture of the final product. The sensing system can be used to measure tissue crepe and such measurement can be utilized to control various crepe-determining stages in a tissue making machine and to monitor the condition of the creping or doctor blade in such a machine.

    摘要: A nuclear gauge (7) for making measurements of traveling webs (11) in continuous sheet-making processes includes an enclosure (20), an encapsulated nuclear source (28), and a wheel-like member (10) mounted in the enclosure means for carrying the encapsulated nuclear source between two angularly-displaced positions. The first of the angularly-displaced positions is the position whereat the encapsulated nuclear source makes measurements of a web that travels past the gauge, and the second position is the location whereat the encapsulated nuclear source faces a sidewall of the enclosure means at a location remote from the first position. The nuclear gauge also has an aperture (16) which is formed through the enclosure for providing a window through which the encapsuled nuclear source, when located in the first position, can emit radiation onto a web that travels past the window.

    摘要: A sensor apparatus and electrode configuration within the sensor apparatus for measuring electrical characteristics of an aqueous fibrous composition. The electrode configuration includes an elongated ground electrode and at least one segmented electrode to form an array of measurement electrode cells. The electrode configuration further includes an array of reference electrode cells formed by a plurality of reference electrodes built into the array of measurement electrode cells. The measurement electrode cells and reference electrode cells have a different sensitivity to water weight of the aqueous fibrous composition and the same sensitivity to conductivity of the aqueous fibrous composition. The measurement apparatus obtains simultaneous resistive measurements from both measurement and reference cells and determines the ratio of the measurements such that the affects from conductivity is canceled out of the measurement ratio. The determined measurement ratio is used to obtain a measurement of the water weight of the aqueous fibrous composition by using previously determined characterization data of the water weight vs. a range of measurement ratios.

    摘要: A system and method of providing on-line turbulence measurements in a sheetmaking machine and using these measurements to perform on-line adjustments to turbulence-inducing and adjusting elements in the sheetmaking machine to optimize final sheet product quality. Turbulence measurements are obtained using water weight sensors in the wet-end of the sheetmaking machine and specifically under wire water weight measurements. Water weight readings are correlated to turbulence intensity levels by correlating ranges of water weights to intensity level intervals. A turbulence processing sensor sorts accumulated water weight measurement readings into intensity level intervals to obtain turbulence measurements or a turbulence profile. The turbulence measurements or profile is provided to a machine element controller which uses the measured turbulence information and target turbulence information to generate control signals. The water weight sensors can obtain independent machine direction (MD) and cross direction (CD) water weight measurements and consequently independent turbulence measurements can be determined so that turbulence can be controlled in both directions. Machine elements are controlled so that turbulence remains uniform across the CD and so that the MD turbulence profile is optimized to resemble a target profile.
