Abstract
The invention relates to a method and a device for providing information on the fiber structure, particularly for determining deviations from an average fiber structure, of a fiber rope in the tobacco-processing industry and especially a tobacco rope. A first measuring device generates a first measuring signal that essentially only indicates the density of the fiber rope. A second measuring device generates a second measuring signal that represents a function of fiber rope density and fiber geometry. An evaluation device uses the first and second measuring signals to generate an evaluation signal which provides information on the fiber structure, particularly the deviations from an average fiber structure.
Claims21
An apparatus for providing information on at least one characteristic of a fiber rope in the tobacco-processing industry, comprising:
- a first measuring device for generating a first measuring signal that essentially only indicates the density of the fiber rope;
- a second measuring device for generating a second measuring signal that essentially only represents a function of fiber rope density and fiber geometry;
- and
- an evaluation device for receiving the first and second measuring signals and generating an evaluation signal corresponding to fiber structure.
A method for generating information on at least one characteristic of a fiber rope in the tobacco-processing industry, comprising:
- generating a first measuring signal that essentially only indicates the density of the fiber rope;
- generating a second measuring signal that essentially represents a function of fiber rope density and fiber geometry;
- and
- determining an evaluation signal from the first and second measuring signals which provides information on the fiber structure.
20 The method according to claim 19, wherein the third measuring signal indicates the density of the fiber rope at a discharge from the system for producing fiber rope.
