  • Patent number: 10155645
    Abstract: There is provided an apparatus, a monitoring arrangement, a method, a crane and a tool for monitoring a condition of an elongated ferrous object having a longitudinal axis. Two magnetizing circuits including magnetic poles are arranged along the longitudinal axis of the object. A magnetic flux guide connects the poles. The magnetizing circuits are arranged around the object at opposite sides along the longitudinal axis, wherein the magnetizing circuits are hinged together to be movable between a closed position, where the object is enclosed between the poles of the magnetizing circuits and an open position, where monitored object is removable from the apparatus.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8557086
    Abstract: The invention relates to vacuum equipment for a fiber web machine. The vacuum equipment includes a frame (13) arranged to be supported to the fiber web machine. The vacuum equipment also includes a wearing construction (15) adapted to the frame (13) and arranged partially open on the surface by means of several openings (14) for extending a vacuum effect out from within the frame (13) and further to a fabric (16) included in the fiber web machine and set in contact with the wearing construction (15). The wearing construction (15) is a plate construction (17), the raw material thickness s of which is equal to or smaller than the distance x between the opposite edges (18, 19) defining the opening (14). The invention also relates to a fiber web machine provided with vacuum equipment.
