<p>A roll system (1) for use particularly in a papermaking press nip (10) for dewatering a fibrous web, comprising a roll (1) disposed so as to rotatingly cooperate with another roll (12) in a press nip (14), the roll (1) having a helical sensor (6) for sensing pressure exhibited on the roll (1), and transmitting pressure signals (20) to a processor (23) as the roll (1) rotates. Trigger signals (30) are generated at certain times as the roll (1) rotates, the time of the occurrence of the trigger signal (30) representing a specific location on the helical sensor (6). The pressure signals (20) are coordinated with the trigger signals (30), such that the pressure corresponds to the angular position of the roll (1) where it is sensed. The operator may thus be given a visual (24, 26) or audible (25) indication of the existence of non-uniformities in pressure sensed at various locations along the roll (1), thereby enabling corrective action to be initiated if necessary.</p> |
