Patent ID: 7799171

Claim:
A method of controlling a reeling profile of a fiber web in a paper or cardboard machine, the direction of travel defining a machine direction, and a cross machine direction, the fiber web having a cross machine direction profile, the method comprising the steps of: selecting a qualitative objective for the cross machine direction profile of the fiber web related to paper type; selecting an objective for cross machine direction reeling profiles of a reel to be formed; forming a fiber web; passing the fiber web through a calendar; forming the fiber web into a fiber web reel in a reel-up, the reel forming a reeling nip with a winding drum; measuring a first cross machine direction profile of the web at a first position upstream in the machine direction from the reel-up to form a measured cross machine direction profile of the web; measuring a line load cross machine direction profile of the reeling nip to form a measured line load cross machine direction profile of the reeling nip; and before the first position, adjusting the cross machine direction profile of the fiber web based on the measured line load cross machine direction profile of the reeling nip, and the first cross machine direction profile; and wherein the cross machine direction profile of the fiber web is controlled to simultaneously optimize the cross machine direction profile in accordance with the selected qualitative objective of the web, and the selected objective for the cross machine direction reeling profiles of a reel.
