  • Installation module for a paper or board machine
    Patent number: 7749358
    Abstract: A wet end of a paper or board machine has at least one vertical, self-supporting installation module (10a, 10b) to be positioned into connection with the machine which module is supported from its lower end by foundation structures of the machine construction and which extends at least to the height of a second maintenance platform (50b) of the machine, which installation module (10) includes at least valves (40) and pipes (30) related to the hydraulic and/or pneumatic actuators of the machine.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 7, 2006
    Date of Patent: July 6, 2010
    Assignee: Metso Paper, Inc.

  • Web tension profile measuring method and roll applying the same
    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.

  • Web Tension Profile Measuring Method and Roll Applying the Same
    Publication number: 20080034880
    Abstract: A method and a roll for measuring a tension profile is provided. The roll has planted on its surface a spirally helical pressure gauge sensor, such as an EMFi pressure gauge 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.

  • Method and device for tracking the edge of a web
    Patent number: 6988398
    Abstract: A method and a device for tracking the position of the edge of a moving web (12), such as a fabric or a web of a paper machine, in which method a pressure-sensitive sensor element (14) is disposed in/onto the surface of the roll (10) guiding the web (12), which sensor element reacts to the pressure applied to it by the moving web (12) by producing an electric signal, on the basis of which it is possible to determine the exact position of the edge of the web (12) on the roll (10). The band-like sensor element (14) comprises one single sensor strip or several sensor strips (141 . . . 14n) disposed successively in the band.
