  • Patent number: 7444862
    Abstract: A method and a roll for measuring a tension profile is provided. The roll has planted on its surface a spirally helical pressure-sensitive film sensor, such as an EMFi pressure-sensitive film sensor, which makes contact with a web obliquely and which, co-directionally with the web, has a measuring range which is substantially equal to or shorter than a web overlap angle when the roll is used for measuring a lateral tension profile of the web.

  • Publication number: 20050279476
    Abstract: A method in the on-line finishing of a paper machine has the successive finishing stages of at least precalendering (12) and coating (13). A tail is formed from a paper web and is taken through the finishing stages (12, 13) and then spread to the full width. Prior to starting the tail threading procedure of the following finishing stage (12, 13) this finishing stage (12, 13) is set to the production settings while the paper web is spread in its full width. The invention also relates to an arrangement in the on-line finishing of the paper machine.

  • Publication number: 20050150926
    Abstract: A device in a finishing machine for paper is arranged to guide a paper web along a predetermined path. The traction device (2) engages a tail of the web or an auxiliary member (6) for transferring the tail of the web. The device has power transmission of its own by means of which is moves in relation to a guide (1) extending in the machine direction. The traction device moves in relation to the guide by friction contact of one or several drive wheels (3) with the guide (1). The friction contact plane of the guide (1) curves in directions perpendicular thereto in accordance with the travel path of the paper web.

  • Publication number: 20030168548
    Abstract: In the method in splicing in a continuous unwind, the surface speed of a new machine reel (R2) which is brought to the unwind and closed with a leading splice is accelerated in the initial acceleration to make the speed correspond to the speed of the old machine reel (R1) that is becoming empty, so that the fastening splice of the new machine reel can be joined to the web of the old machine reel. The loading affecting the leading splice and/or fastening splice of the new machine reel (R2) during the initial acceleration is reduced. The present invention also relates to an apparatus for implementing the method.

  • Patent number: 6551562
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for guiding a web of paper or board or, alternatively, an edge strip sheared therefrom, in a paper machine or finishing equipment, the method being particularly suited for threading the web tail or edge strip through the machine in conjunction with a production shutdown or after a web break. According to the invention, the web (6) or its tail sheared from the web so as to form an edge strip is supported electrically by means of taking surfaces or electrodes (3, 5) disposed on opposite sides of the web (6) to different potentials. Particularly advantageously, the web (6) or the edge strip can be adhered to a roll (16), a belt (7) or a wire by taking said support element to a lower potential and disposing a higher-potential electrode (5) or a number of electrodes to the opposite side of the web.
