  • MONITORING SYSTEM, CONTROL SYSTEM, AND ACTUATION ASSEMBLY OF A PAPER MACHINE, AND A METHOD OF CONTROLLING
    Publication number: 20230407564
    Abstract: A monitoring system comprising: (a) one or more sensors that monitor activity, amplitude, size, scale, duration of activity or a combination thereof of stock on a paper machine and (b) a control system in communication with the one or more sensors and one or more foil sections within the paper machine; wherein the control system measures the activity, amplitude, size, scale, duration of activity or a combination thereof of the stock and correlates the activity, amplitude, size, scale, duration of activity or a combination thereof to formation of fibers within the stock so that an angle, height, or both of the one or more foil sections are adjusted to change the activity, amplitude, size, scale, duration of activity or a combination thereof in the stock.
    Type: Application
