JOURNAL FREE ACCESSTOKYO SKYTREE is the world’s tallest broadcasting tower with a height of 634m. This paper presents the unprecedented technical and engineering challenges of this project, such as : the extraordinary wall foundation that support the tower with a very small footprint, the unique vibration control system that depress the seismic shake of the tower by a half, “lift-up construction method” of the antenna spire that eliminated variety of problems associated with working at an extreme altitude, and the very rapid construction of the core column using “slip form method”, to name a few. All those were indispensable for the successful completion of the project, ensuring the safety and quality while shortening the construction period.View full abstractDownload PDF (781K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESS7M⁄C at Ishinomaki mill was used to produce base stock for coated paper 380 t⁄d before the tsunami impact of last year. But nowadays, 7 M⁄C was remodeled to the copy paper machine to enter into copy paper business.
The domestic market for copy paper is very competitive because the share of the import paper has intensively expanded, due to strong yen. Copy paper requires copy aptitude qualitatively, and to control fiber orientation is important to improve curl quality.
This report introduces summary of the modification work carried out for the production of copy paper and a case study of the introduction of automatic control system for fiber orientation.View full abstractDownload PDF (1151K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSAt Kanto factory in Hokuetsu Kishu Paper, Katsuta engineering department started commercial operation of wooden biomass generation boiler in September 2006, which utilizes wooden materials such as building wooden scraps, thinned wood and paper sludge as fuel.
In this boiler, conveyor belt facilities are deployed for transportation of the wooden chips which are used as main fuel. But some fire occurrences in these conveyer belt facilities are reported so far in other company. In order to prevent from such serious fire disaster, we installed fiber-optic conveyer temperature monitoring system in May 2012, for the purpose of fire detection in early stage, and of preventing from fire spreading.View full abstractDownload PDF (985K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSRecently, Web Inspection System (WIS) has been expected to enhance the quality of paper production with the highest efficiency. Since OMRON delivered WIS in the market of paper production in 1965, we have developed the latest web inspection technology, such as CCD camera, recording of inspection images, and color-inspection. Moreover, higher and higher quality for paper productions such as functional sheet will be required. In order to meet these requirements, we have developed original next-generation inspection technology named “Multi Wave Sensing”. Today, we would like to show you the backgrounds, features, and benefits of the technology, and share our perspective of advanced inspection with the technology.View full abstractDownload PDF (526K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA sheet surface inspection system, equipped with the monochrome line scan cameras, uses inspection object’s contrast and shape data for defect classification. Therefore it makes difficult to classify the defects by color. Another reason for the difficulty of defect classification by color is that the conventional color line scan camera (drive frequency : 40MHz) is not capable of having enough MD resolution for clear image.
Now, FUTEC has developed a new surface color inspection system, “MaxEye. Color”, using high-speed color line scan camera technology with a drive frequency of 80MHz. Three main features of this system are : (1) a clear color image of defect, (2) an intuitive color defect classification setting, (3) a real-time color defect classification .
This system enables operators to see sharp, clear color view of defects to determine the cause of defects in early stage of production. Furthermore, it carries out the automatic defect classification for color defects only by using real time processing function. This function contributes to the operation efficiency by supporting operators’ checking process.View full abstractDownload PDF (658K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe environmental law regulates the upper limits of the concentrations of harmful substances in the discharge water. Every facilities will be imposed the penalties based on the law if depart from these standards, and also causes adverse impact to corporate image. To avoid these risks, continuous monitoring of the drainage is desired. The analysis of high accuracy is often time consuming. In order to take quick measures to the leakage of hazardous components, rapid detection of leakage is required. To prevent the leakage of hazardous components, rapid detection should take precedence over accuracy.
Simple and rapid water quality analyzers are used in many facilities. Some of them judge only ON-OFF of hazardous components in the sample. But many of them are able to obtain good correlation to legal method. Some examples of simple and rapid water quality monitoring instruments are shown below.View full abstractDownload PDF (522K)

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSJFE Electrical & Control Systems Co., Ltd. has developed an appearance inspection monitoring device with optical image sensors of the flat sheet for the finishing line of a paper mill. The inspection monitoring device detects defects on the surface of paper, such as sticking paper particle, paper folded and abnormal aligned. These are considered as one of the most important quality control index for the paper mill. Advanced technology for image processing has been applied to detect the defect with high accuracy.
Two monitors have been already installed and are in operation in the paper mill company, in addition another four monitoring devices with the same technology are being used for plain paper copier.View full abstractDownload PDF (574K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn recent years, the paper or film products with new functionalities have been developed increasingly. We have also been developing new products with several functionalities. In the coating process, especially water-based coating, the control of moisture content after drying is very important to improve the product quality. At the beginning, we also introduced a moisture analyzer of infrared type to measure the little moisture content in the coated product. But it was found that the infrared type was not suitable for measuring the little moisture content because it was affected by the around heat source or the base materials’ absorption and was not stable over a long period. So we started to develop the moisture sensor system by ourselves. Through trial and error, a new on-line moisture sensor system has been developed. The measurement principle is based on the dielectric loss of the water which is very large compared with those of other materials. We introduced the original microwave resonator to detect the dielectric loss of the water in the products. This sensor system is now necessary for producing the commercialized coated products in our mill.View full abstractDownload PDF (1361K)
