FIELD: data processing.
SUBSTANCE: system associated with a sensor shaft and a conjugated shaft to collect data on shafts comprises a sensor shaft and a conjugated shaft disposed relative to each other so as to create a contact zone therebetween, wherein the web of material passing through the contact zone in a direction from the beginning to the end of the process, and an endless band, positioned so as to rotate in a circle, which contacts at least a portion of the web of material to the contact zone; a plurality of sensors disposed in axially spaced locations of the sensor shaft, wherein each sensor entering a certain area of the contact zone during each rotation of the sensor shaft to generate a corresponding sensor signal; structure for generating a periodic reference time signal in association with each rotation of the endless band in a circle, and a processor for receiving a periodic reference time signal and a corresponding signal generated by each sensor. After receiving the corresponding sensor signal, the processor determines one particular sensor from the plurality of sensors which generated the corresponding signal, identifies, based on the time period, which passed between the generation of the corresponding sensor signal and the most recent reference time signal, one of the plurality of time tracking segments associated with the endless band, wherein each of the plurality of tracking segments being associated, respectively, with a different elapsed time period and stores the corresponding sensor signal to associate it with the identified time tracking segment.
EFFECT: proposed is a system associated with a sensor shaft and a conjugated shaft for collecting data on shafts.
