Shoe press belt with integrated sensor units
The customer orders shoe press belts with integrated sensor units. The
integrated sensor units leave no marks on the paper surface and the belt is
manufactured in cooperation with a renowned and reliable manufacturer of shoe
press belts.
Receiver unit
A receiver unit is mounted across the paper machine next to the shoe press.
When exposed to pressure, a signal proportional to the applied pressure is
generated from the sensor units. The receiver unit wirelessly reads the signals
from the sensor units integrated in the shoe press belt. Vasasensor delivers and
installs the receiver unit following customer consultation.
Analysis
The signals received by the receiver unit are sent to a stationary computer
unit for complex processing. Vasasensor delivers and installs the stationary
computer unit following customer consultation.
