Second additional cross machine direction yarns (22') are positioned between the cross machine direction fabric yarns (12) on the papermaking surface of the fabric layer (10).

First additional cross machine direction yarns (20') are positioned between adjacent cross machine direction fabric yarns (12) on the papermaking surface of the fabric layer (10).

The second support is movable relative to the first support in a cross direction.

An industrial fabric of the variety used in the papermaking and similar industries has machine-direction (MD) yarns and cross-machine-direction (CD) yarns, which may be interwoven with one another to form a woven structure.

Each of the first and second additional cross machine direction yarns (20', 22') serves as fiber supporting yarns and as locator yarns for another of the first and second additional cross machine direction yarns (20', 22').

Alignment is a critical component for modeling a cross-directional (CD) papermaking process.

The fabric strip of material may advantageously be a flat-woven fabric of MD and CD yarns in any weave pattern.

Each CD drive bar is formed of linked spiral coils (204, 206) integrated into the belt body.

Misalignment can occur unexpectedly due to sheet wander or CD shrinkage variation.

It specifies the spatial relationship between individual CD actuators to paper quality measurements.

Each of the first and second additional cross machine direction yarns (20', 22') is interwoven with the fabric layer (10).

The apparatus comprises a rail (42) fixed to the doctor back (18) and extending longitudinally in the cross machine direction.

The knuckles are scored or slit to a depth no greater than half the diameter of the cross-machine direction yarns.

We can make all sizes from 49 cm to 150 cm in long grain and from 25 cm to 216 cm in short grain.
