Providing Enhanced Visibility on Tissue Process

• A completely new online scanning sensor for tissue and towel applications to characterize crepe structure numerically and visually

• Non-contacting, imaging-based measurement with prorietary algorithms for realtime image analysis

• Built-in compensation technologies ensure: • Repeatable measurements in varying

condions • Robust performance in highly

challenging environment • Maintenance free operation

Mathematical algorithms:• Topography Analysis• Texture Analysis

• Operator can select locations across the sheet for snapshots

• Images provided from every scan with numeric charactrization

• Reel-to-reel ring buffer of average image gallery to track long-term shifts in crepe structure

Unique Benefits of Crepe Structure Measurement


• Measurement provides realtime feedback from creping and applies unprecetended tool to Improve crepe quality and uniformity Gain crepe target faster after any upset like doctor blade

change, sheet break or grade change Optimize complex creping process for better runnability and

economy Enhance paper machine performance for improved

converting and total efficiency Accelarate trial run and trouble-shooting processes Monitor production and equipment condition with

continuously delivered image snapshots on selectable locations across the sheet

MXIR Sensors


Model Q4405-50 - Moisture • Direct measurement:

– Moisture infrared absorption ♦ Calibrated on samples from the target

process to provide product water weight (g/m2, #/3000ft2, etc.)

• Derived measurement – Percent moisture

= (water weight / nuclear BW)*100

Model Q4405-60 – Moisture and Dry-Fiberweight • Direct measurements:

– Cellulose (fiber) infrared transmission ♦ Calibrated on samples from the target

process to provide product dry weight (g/m2, #/3000ft2, etc.)

– Moisture infrared transmission ♦ Calibrated on samples from the target process

to provide product water weight (g/m2, #/3000ft2, etc.)

• Derived measurements – Basis weight = dry weight + water

weight – Percent moisture

= (water weight / basis weight)*100

MXIR Sensors


• No-Compromise. No-Risk. – New implementation of well

proven Honeywell technologies ♦ INFRAND optics ♦ Same-spot Measurement ♦ Wavelength-division Multiplexing ♦ Extended InGaAs detectors ♦ Motor-driven source modulation ♦ EDAQ Functionality ♦ Experion MX signal processing, fast

scanning ♦ Component and sensor modularity
