Abstract: A system for computer assisted monitoring of a cross profile of a quality parameter of a material web, especially a paper or cardboard web during its production and/or conversion, which includes a measuring system for measuring the cross profile, at least one computer based operations and logic unit for the determination of the standard deviations of at least two interference profiles that are representative for different interferences in the form of different peak groups in the measured cross profile. The different peak groups differentiate in that their peaks have different width ranges. Elements for storage, display and/or further processing of the determined standard deviations are also included.

Abstract: In a method of monitoring the state of a felt serving for the dewatering of a fiber web, in particular of a paper web or of a cardboard web, the felt topography is measured and/or an image of the felt surface having definition in depth is produced by mean of an optical measuring device and the result of the measurement obtained is compared with previously stored error patterns by means of an evaluation and/or control unit. Corresponding felt conditioning measures are then initiated, preferably automatically, in dependence on the result of the comparison. A corresponding felt monitoring device is also described. In a further method of monitoring the state of a felt or screen serving the dewatering of a fiber web, in particular of a paper web or a cardboard web, specific felt and/or screen properties are determined permanently or cyclically at intervals and are filed under a pre-settable felt and/or screen name in a historical database.
