Sensor roll

A roll for a machine for producing and/or processing a fibrous web, such as a paper, board or tissue web, has a circular-cylindrical main roll body. A roll cover covers the circumferential surface of the main roll body, at least in some segments. A pressure- and/or temperature-sensitive sensor is embedded in the roll cover. The sensor connects to an electrical and/or optical signal line. The signal line has a first line segment inside the roll. A second line segment extends substantially outside the roll and is connectable to a signal excitation and/or signal processing unit at one end. An electrical and/or optical rotational connection connects the first and second line segments to allow the line segments to be rotated relative to one another. When the roll is rotated, the first line segment rotates together with the main roll body. The second line segment does not have to follow the rotation.

ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD FOR MEASURING THE TEMPERATURE OF A WEB, AS WELL AS A METHOD FOR PERFORMING THE STEPS OF THE MEASURING THE TEMPERATURE
20220236118 · 2022-07-28 · ·

The present invention relates to an arrangement (1) for measuring the temperature of a web. The arrangement (1) comprises a plurality of sensors (3) for contactless measuring of the temperature, an elongated housing (5) intended for extending essentially along a transverse direction (T) which is transverse to the direction of movement of a web. The sensors (3) are arranged in a chamber (6) within the housing (5) and spread along the front side (7a) of the housing (5). Each sensor (3) is connected to a data bus (9) for providing information of the measured temperature to other systems and/or apparatuses. The sensors (3) are attached to a support structure (19) having at least one rotatable shaft (23) in the interior of the housing (7), and wherein the shaft (23) is arranged to rotate the support structure (19) such that the sensors (3) are displaced to a calibration and/or protection position away from the openings (11) for calibration and/or protection of the sensors (3). The invention also relates to a method for measuring the temperature of a web, a computer program, a computer readable medium and a control unit.
