CHOPPER WHEEL ALIGNMENT DEVICE ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A device for characterizing the formation of a sheet material is described. The device comprises a basis weight sensor for measuring the basis weight of the sheet material as the material moves through the sensor and signal processing circuitry which receives a signal from the basis weight sensor indicative of the measured basis weight. The basis weight sensor includes a light source for directing a beam of light at the moving sheet and a light detector which detects the beam after it passes through the sheet. This detector produces a signal indicative of the intensity of the detected beam and transmits the signal to the signal processing circuitry. To calibrate the signal processing circuitry, a rotatable opaque wheel having a plurality of slots is positioned in the path of the light beam. The rotating wheel alternately blocks the light beam and allows the beam to pass through the slots to the detector. By rotating the wheel at a predetermined speed, the signal produced by the light detector is modulated at a predetermined frequency dependent upon the rotational speed of the wheel and the number of slots in the wheel. After calibration, an electromagnet rotates and holds the wheel in a position wherein the light beam passes, unobstructed by the wheel, through one of the slots.
