Crepe Structure Measurement - Model Q4224-50 Honeywell’s Crepe Structure measurement analyzes tissue quality by capturing high resolution images of a moving sheet to identify important variables on creping process. These allow optimization of creping blade life while maintaining consistent quality. Longer blade running time means less blade changes and more quality production without process upsets. The sensor allows mill personnel to monitor tissue structure characteristics online throughout the entire production process, facilitating immediate corrective action if the quality deviates from targeted. Crepe Structure Measurement provides an excellent tool for tissue process optimization, troubleshooting and test runs for selecting optimal chemicals and process operating points in real-time. The image control unit inside the sensor controls both the camera and the illumination unit for optimal image quality with varying machine speeds. Single-sided construction houses camera and illumination on same side of the sheet. The captured image is analyzed with proprietary algorithms, producing numeric indicators characterizing tissue crepe structure. Imaging and analysis computation are done by sensor processor unit in real-time. Numeric values of the measurements are then transferred to the system server for display, profiling and trending. Captured images are
