Zusammenfassung:A method and a device for tracking the position of the edge of a moving web ( 12 ), such as a fabric or a web of a paper machine, in which method a pressure-sensitive sensor element ( 14 ) is disposed in/onto the surface of the roll ( 10 ) guiding the web ( 12 ), which sensor element reacts to the pressure applied to it by the moving web ( 12 ) by producing an electric signal, on the basis of which it is possible to determine the exact position of the edge of the web ( 12 ) on the roll ( 10 ). The band-like sensor element ( 14 ) comprises one single sensor strip or several sensor strips ( 14 1 . . . 14 n ) disposed successively in the band.
