Method And Apparatus For Time Synchronized Measurement Correction Of Multidimensional Periodic Effects On A Moving Web
US Patent:
6567720, May 20, 2003
Filed:
Apr 20, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/839980
Inventors:
Kerry D. Figiel - Cincinnati OH 45244
International Classification:
G06F 766
US Classification:
700129, 162198, 162263, 73159
Abstract:
An improved measuring system used with a process control system provides substantially real time correction of aliasing effects in a system having moving equipment that exhibits periodic parameters while being monitored. The measuring/control system can be used with a rotating equipment process line, such as used in a paper mill, in which a measurement scanner travels in the cross direction of a moving web of material, while that same moving web of material continues to move in a longitudinal direction (the machine direction) transverse to the cross direction. The measuring/control system begins by acquiring data utilizing a time synchronous monitoring system that produces a count matrix and a measurement matrix of readings from the measurement scanner. After a sufficient number of data samples have been acquired, a correction matrix can be built. Each sample of data can be adjusted for the contribution of each of the rotating elements at the data processing level before the raw reading is processed into a measurement or a profile.
