  • Publication number: 20150299952
    Abstract: A system for monitoring production of tissue paper in a dry end of a paper machine which includes at least one detecting unit configured to form image data in visible light from the moving tissue paper and thermal data in response to temperatures capable of igniting the tissue paper from at least one of the following: the tissue paper, at least one section of the paper machine. A processing unit analyzes the image and thermal data from the detecting unit for detecting visibly observable deviations in the tissue paper and temperature deviations capable of igniting the tissue paper for notifying a user about the temperature deviations.

  • Patent number: 7317198
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method in the control of the quality or the condition of a fibre web (21) on the basis of optical imaging diagnostics, wherein the fibre web (21) under examination and/or means (22, 23) relating to the processing of the fibre web are monitored with at least one optical imaging measuring device (1 to N). According to the method, the scale of the observation area of said at least one imaging measuring device (1 to N) is calibrated, when said measuring device is taken into use, by means of one or more calibration objects placed in the observation area of the measuring device, to correct the perspective error caused by the position between said measuring device and the object (21, 22, 23) observed by it.

  • Publication number: 20050254701
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for synchronizing information produced by imaging optical measuring devices (1-N) which monitor the manufacturing and/or finishing process of a fibre web, in relation to the movement of the fibre web in the machine direction, which method comprises the steps of monitoring the moving fibre web and/or a moving means involved in its processing in the machine direction by means of imaging measuring devices (1-N) placed in successive measuring positions in the machine direction, and searching the information recorded by imaging at different measuring positions, for images, or the like, relating to the same local area of the fibre web, for their analysis and/or storage.
