摘要： A control system for measuring a gap in an apparatus for pressing a traveling paper web as the paper web travels through the gap accompanied by at least one belt or felt, the apparatus including a press apparatus and a support surface defining a gap therebetween. A frame is provided for moveably supporting the press apparatus. An actuator is operatively disposed between the frame and press apparatus for selectively moving the press apparatus toward and away from the support to control the gap size. A transducer is mounted in either the press apparatus or support for producing a signal indicative of the pressure on the paper web as the paper web, belt and felt pass through the gap beneath the transducer. A controller is operatively linked with the transducer for receiving the signal, determining the measure of the gap as a function of the pressure, and causing the actuator to selectively move the press apparatus to control the gap size.

摘要： The invention is directed to a continuous belt edge detector system for use in a paper making machine having a continuous belt guide device. The edge detector system comprises a continuous belt having an edge dope with metallic particles therein and an inductive sensor connected to the guide device and adjacent the edge dope. The inductive sensor sends a signal to the guide device indicative of a location of the continuous belt. The guide device moves the continuous belt, e.g., transversely relative to the running direction of the belt within the machine, dependent on the inductive sensor signal.

摘要： A calender press for use in a paper-making machine includes a top roll positioned adjacent to a nip and rotatable about a longitudinal axis thereof. The top roll has a length and circumferential perimeter. The length extends in the direction of and is longer than the width of the fiber web. The top roll is thermally compensated in a plurality of thermal zones which are adjacent to each other across the length of the top roll, whereby the perimeter of the top roll may be adjusted in a locally adjustable manner toward and away from the nip. A bottom roll is positioned adjacent to the top roll and defines the nip with the top roll. The bottom roll is rotatable about a longitudinal axis thereof and has a length and circumferential perimeter. The length extends in the direction of and is longer than the width of the fiber web. The perimeter is smaller at each longitudinal end of the bottom roll and larger at approximately a midpoint between the longitudinal ends, thereby defining a crowned bottom roll. The bottom roll is thermally compensated in a plurality of thermal zones which are adjacent to each other across the length of the bottom roll, whereby the perimeter of the bottom roll may be adjusted in a locally adjustable manner toward and away from the nip. The thermal compensation of the bottom roll and the top roll coact to effect a nip load of less than approximately 150 pounds per linear inch between the top roll and bottom roll.

摘要： This invention is directed to a paper-making machine utilizing rotating cylinders, especially dryer cylinders, with a drying felt intertwined about the dryer cylinders to compress the wet paper against the dryer cylinders as the wet paper travels therealong. A threading doctor assembly with a blowpipe air nozzle blowing system is associated with each dryer cylinder. When air is flowing into the blowpipe blowing system, the leading tail of the wet paper is directed from the preceding dryer cylinder to the next. A proximity sensor associated with each threading doctor assembly is in communication with a controller and is positioned to determine if the wet paper is within a detection area. Air valves or solenoids coupled between an air supply system and the blowpipes are also coupled to the controller. As the leading tail of the paper is detected by a proximity sensor to be within the detection area, the next several solenoids associated with the next several threading doctors in the paper advance direction are activated. As well, solenoids associated with the blowpipes of the threading doctors that are more than two or three behind the proximity sensor, relative to the paper advance direction are deactivated. Such sequencing of blowpipes as the leading tail advances through the system reduces the air supply pressure necessary for the system.

摘要翻译： 本发明涉及一种利用旋转圆筒，特别是干燥器滚筒的造纸机，其中干燥机缠绕在干燥机圆筒上，以随着湿纸沿着湿纸张沿湿纸张压缩湿纸。 具有吹气管喷嘴吹风系统的穿线医生组件与每个干燥筒相关联。 当空气流入吹管系统时，湿纸的前尾从前一个干燥滚筒向下引导。 与每个穿线刮刀组件相关联的接近传感器与控制器通信并被定位以确定湿纸是否在检测区域内。 联接在供气系统和吹管之间的空气阀或螺线管也耦合到控制器。 由于接近传感器检测到纸张的尾部尾部处于检测区域内，所以与纸张前进方向上的接下来的几个螺纹医生相关联的下一个螺线管被激活。 同样，相对于纸张提前方向，与接近传感器相距大于二或三个的螺纹医生的吹管相关联的螺线管被去激活。 作为领先尾巴的排气管系统的排序可以减少系统所需的供气压力。
