Abstract
A method measures inside a blanket of mineral and/or plant fibres being moved by at least one conveyor with a conveyor belt. The method uses a measuring system including a sensor and an actuator for introducing the sensor into the blanket, the actuator being mounted on the conveyor belt and able to move the sensor between a retracted position and a measuring position inside the blanket. The method also includes introducing the sensor into the blanket by the actuator under the effect of the movement of the conveyor belt.
Claims23
A method for measuring inside a blanket of mineral and/or plant fibres being moved by at least one conveyor with a conveyor belt, the method comprising:
- using a measuring system comprising a sensor and an actuator for introducing the sensor into the blanket, the actuator being mounted on the conveyor belt and configured to be able to move the sensor between a retracted position and a measuring position inside the blanket;
- and
- introducing the sensor into the blanket by the actuator under the effect of the movement of the conveyor belt,
- wherein the conveyor belt on which the actuator is mounted is a first conveyor belt, the conveyor includes a second conveyor belt, and an arm in contact with the second conveyor belt adjusts a depth of the measuring position when the sensor is in the measuring position.
A line for manufacturing a blanket of mineral and/or plant fibres, comprising:
- at least one conveyor with a conveyor belt for moving the blanket;
- and
- a measuring system comprising a sensor for measuring inside the blanket and an actuator for introducing the sensor into the blanket, the actuator being mounted on the conveyor belt and configured to be able to move the sensor between a retracted position in the conveyor and a measuring position inside the blanket under the effect of the movement of the conveyor belt,
- wherein the conveyor belt on which the actuator is mounted is a first conveyor belt, the conveyor includes a second conveyor belt, and an arm in contact with the second conveyor belt adjusts a depth of the measuring position when the sensor is in the measuring position.
