Abstract

The invention relates to a traversing measuring system (1) comprising a scanner frame (2) and at least one measuring carriage (3), wherein the measuring system (1) is designed to guide the measuring carriage (3) traversing in the machine transverse direction (CD) over a paper web (12) moving in the machine direction (MD) and to record measured values, wherein the measuring carriage (3) is connected to a movable carriage (7) by means of a lateral holding device (6), wherein the carriage (7) is arranged inside a housing (18) of the scanner frame (2) and is mounted there on a rail device (9) by means of at least one bearing element (8), and wherein the lateral support (6) projects laterally out of the housing (18) from the scanner frame (2) in the machine direction (MD).
