Abstract: An arrangement for measuring properties of a moving paper web. The arrangement comprises measuring means for measuring paper properties, in connection with which a plane-like support surface is arranged. The plane-like support surface supports the paper web and extends substantially over the whole width of the paper web in the cross-direction relative to the direction of travel of the paper web. An opening arrangement formed by at least one opening is arranged on the support surface for measuring properties of the paper web.

Abstract: The surface of a web is monitored by a fault detection system (20), a machine condition monitoring system, a quality measurement system, a web moisture measurement and/or a web temperature measurement and the soiled part of the surface of the roll is detected and localized by means of a soiling monitoring apparatus (31, 35; 60). A control system (41) controls a cleaning device (40) to remove the detected soiling. As a web (W) travels in a paper or board production or finishing process or in finishing machinery the web and/or the surface of the roll is monitored and after a detected deviation the surface thereof is momentarily spread with a liquid while machinery is running at the same time as the web (W) travels over said roll surface.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and assembly for opening the nips (9,10) of a calendar comprising at least two elements (1, 2; 3, 4) brought to a nip contact with each other, especially for performing the nip opening at a break or damage occurring in the web (5) being calendered. The tension of the web (5) being calendered is measured at multiple points over the cross-machine width of the web (5) and the calender nips (9,10) are opened when the measured web tension at a preset number of points over the cross-machine width of the web (5) has fallen to a limit value that by a decision-making algorithm monitoring the tension profile of the web (5) is interpreted to indicate a web break situation or other damage on the web (5) requiring opening the nips (9,10).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for calendering a moving web (1) of paper or board. The web (1) is passed to a calender (2) and calendered therein. At least one quality of the calendered web (1) is measured at a first measurement point (3) adapted at a location downstream from the calender (2). Additionally, at least one quality of the web (1) entering the calender (2) is measured at a second measurement point (4) adapted at a location between the calender (2) and the preceding section of the line. A control variable (6) affecting the calendering effect on the calender (2) is controlled by a feedback control scheme based on the measurement result obtained from said first measurement point (3) and a control variable (9) affecting the processability of the web (1) to be calendered is controlled by a feedback control scheme based on the measurement result obtained from said second measurement point (4).
