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

Unique Benefits of Crepe Structure Measurement
© 2014 Honeywell International All Rights Reserved 4
• 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

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-Fiber weight
• 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
