Abstract: A measuring device for detecting product strips on a fabric, e.g., a paper-including or textile-including fabric, includes a sensor, that records optical, magnetic or electrical properties of the fabric, which converts the recorded property to a measuring signal, a device for establishing a signal threshold value, and a signal device which emits an optical and/or an acoustical signal when a change in the measuring signal beyond the threshold value is taking place. Using this measuring device, strip positions and strip widths may be recorded of the strips applied to the fabric which are not visible to the human eye.

Abstract: In a method and a device for finishing an endless fabric, the endless fabric is transported past a rotating applicator roll that is wetted with a liquor, in order to apply the liquor onto the endless fabric. On the endless fabric that has been transported onwards, after drying, the thread add-on, or its change, is measured and evaluated on an ongoing basis by a sensor, in order to regulate the rotational speed of the application roll as a function of the measuring result. A device is suitable for implementing the method.
