QCS scanners are used to monitor key sheet properties at one or more locations on modern paper and board machines, and report average values, standard deviations, and MD and CD profiles. The CD profile data can be used to make automatic or manual adjustments at one or more profiling systems. Because sheet properties can be affected by more than one profiling system, profiling actuator adjustments can affect multiple sheet properties, and sheet shrinkage and sheet wander occur, it can be challenging to coordinate CD profiling efforts.
