Monitoring system, control system, and actuation assembly of a paper machine
First Claim
1. A monitoring system comprising:
- a. one or more sensors that monitor activity of stock on a paper machine andb. a control system in communication with the one or more sensors and one or more foil sections within the paper machine;
wherein the control system is configured to measures the activity of the stock and is configured to correlates the activity to formation of fibers within the stock so that an angle, a height, or both of the one or more foil sections are adjusted to change the activity of the stock; and
wherein the one or more sensors are one or more low angle sensors that are located along a side of the paper machine and monitor the paper machine in a direction substantially parallel to a wire on the paper machine and the one or more low angle sensors measure the amplitude of the stock.

Abstract
A monitoring system comprising: (a) one or more sensors that monitor activity, amplitude, size, scale, duration of activity or a combination thereof of stock on a paper machine and (b) a control system in communication with the one or more sensors and one or more foil sections within the paper machine; wherein the control system measures the activity, amplitude, size, scale, duration of activity or a combination thereof of the stock and correlates the activity, amplitude, size, scale, duration of activity or a combination thereof to formation of fibers within the stock so that an angle, height, or both of the one or more foil sections are adjusted to change the activity, amplitude, size, scale, duration of activity or a combination thereof in the stock.

10. A monitoring system comprising:
-
a. one or more sensors that monitor activity of stock on a paper machine and b. a control system in communication with the one or more sensors and one or more foil sections within the paper machine; wherein the control system is configured to measures activity of the stock and is configured to correlates the activity to formation of fibers within the stock so that an angle, a height, or both of the one or more foil sections are adjusted to change the activity of the stock; and wherein the monitoring system includes a level device, and the one or more sensors that measure the activity of the stock, which is an amplitude of the stock above an activity line formed by the level device; and wherein the activity, amplitude, size, scale, duration of activity or a combination thereof of the stock in a predetermined area is a density of bright spots, a number of dimples, or both captured by the one or more sensors in the predetermined region. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
