By attaching the new WebLED beam on top of the existing Cognex light box
the space requirements are less and costs are saved. This measurement frame
is after the coater. (Papertech’s photo on the right could be used instead. Your

Lower costs
When changing supplier of a web inspection system normally the old complete
assembly has to be removed and a new one is installed, which is rather costly. In
addition, there might be a need to modify the sheet path or threading due new
physical conditions caused by the size of the new assembly. The Papertech way is
unique as existing frames that were still in a good condition are re-used, which
means that the system costs as well as the installation costs are reduced as no re-
engineering of the structure is
needed. This was an
important reason why Arctic
Paper Grycksbo chose
Papertech as the supplier.
The operator can
continuously see pictures
from all twelve web
monitoring cameras on one
screen and the results from
the web inspection beams
before and after the coater is
displayed side by side on the
same monitor. Each defect is
shown by a coloured dot
showing its position as well
as the type of defect. By
clicking on a certain dot, its appearance and history can be seen on a separate
monitor. Defects that repeat themselves can easily be related to a particular roll
diameter or length of a wire or a felt. Such a repeating defect is marked by a line on
the screen to attract operator attention and hence a quicker solution to the problem.
The integrated system monitors are in PM 10’s control room. The upper screen
shows break events captured by the machine cameras.
“As can be expected with any brand new system, we have had some teething
problems, but most have been overcome by now,” Björn Jansson explains. I must
say that the Papertech people are really down to earth people, actually like we mill
people are. That is why they are easy to work with and they are really keen to solve
any problem and give us support so that we can achieve the high goals we set for the
project. We do appreciate the fact that they take the effort to make sure that
everything works as it should. All in all, we are satisfied with this system and we even
recently had a visit from another Swedish paper mill interested in the TotalVision
system,” he adds.
