Three more AGS-sensors will be delivered to the Holmen Hallsta Mill in Sweden, two AGS-HXD and one AGS-SB170.
2010 APR, Metso Paper orders a new AGS-SD65 for the Kaipola Mill Finland.
The AGS-family is extended with a model suited for the JYLHAA SD65 refiner. These will be installed by Metso Paper in the Kaipola Mill in Finland. The AGS-sensors are completed with RS1 electronics.
2010 MAR, the new WDS-DS3 is ready for Bluetooth.
The hand held RFID-tag reader for registration of garbage bins is now capable of sending data to a PDA via Bluetooth.
2010 FEB, the new AGS-RS1 system is running at Sappi-Lanaken Mill.
The new AGS-system adapted for the RS1 system is now running at the Sappi-Lanaken Mill in Belgium. The AGS will improve calibration speed and accuracy without wearing down the segments and the segment taper.
2010 Jan, the TDC-cable K-GT is obsolete, will be exchanged to the K-GTS.
Because of problems with obsolete spare parts, the TDC-sensor cable K-GT will be exchanged to the K-GTS cable. The K-GTS is fully exchangeable with the old K-GT and its stronger casing and fitting to the sensor will improve reliability for the whole installation.
2010 Jan, the AGS-Impedance measurement test in the two Twin60s at Braviken shows promising results.
Correlating the Impedance against Concentration and Dilution water in the Andritz refiners at Braviken shows promising results.
2009 Dec, the Startup procedure will be changed in the RMS-logic when running on Turbine-segments.
A new procedure with new gap limits at starting up is going to be implemented. Especially when running on Turbine-segments the limits have to be set at a closer position. The parameter settings have to be changed in both RS1- and RMS-systems. This will be tested on some machines in the beginning of this year.
2009 Dec, the 5-stepps Berger-Lahr stepping motor is obsolete, will be exchanged to a 2-stepps stepping motor.
Because of problems with obsolete spare parts, the 5-stepps stepping motor for Metso refiner control (CMD-XXX) will be exchanged to a 2-stepps stepping motor. This will require a change of cable and driver electronics at the same time as the change of the motor. A complete kit will be available from Metso Spare parts division.
