Packaging Company Selects R.K.B. Splice (Joint) Detector Technology

Syracuse, NY, January 1, 2001-R.K.B. OPTO-ELECTRONICS, INC., a leader in providing splice detector technology, has been selected by a leading manufacturer of commercial and consumer product packaging. Many of their packaging solutions surround the world's most recognizable brands found in pantries, stores and manufacturing plants.

R.K.B. is pleased to have been selected as their valued supplier for high-speed splice detection requirements. “Over the years, R.K.B. has provided many customers with very successful and reliable splice detector technologies. Our partnerships have grown and will continue to grow as the need for essential and reliable quality assurance becomes more vital to ensure customers receive the highest quality and splice free product available” stated R.K.B. Sales Director.

Our splice detector technology detects sudden changes in web material thickness due to splices as well as detecting tearouts and web breaks in high-speed sheeting, laminating, coating, printing and associated converting processes. Our splice detection technology helps manufacturers achieve their quality assurance initiatives by reducing down time, eliminating broke and preventing costly repairs to rolls, dies, blankets and other sensitive production equipment. Our technology monitors single and multiple webs of papers, films and other types of non-metallic web based materials. Outputs produced by our technology are used to automatically control processes such as reject control gates, nip pressure, calender release pressure, treaters, and print heads. Designed for edge of web mounting, the unit can be positioned anywhere along the web. It can be easily repositioned to accommodate changes in web width in support of just-in-time, short run, or high product mix conditions.

R.K.B. has pioneered the field of splice detection. Material color, machine speed, caliper changes and type of splice markings do not affect operations and the unit will automatically recalibrate to new production conditions. Among our many innovations besides our splice detection technology is our very successful coating scratch machine vision technology. This patented technology detects streaks and scratches as small as 1 micron (depending on material and application requirements) at any known speed. R.K.B. OPTO-ELECTRONICS, INC., designs, develops, manufactures, and markets the most diverse line of machine vision and web inspection technologies currently available to web based material manufacturers. R.K.B., headquartered in Syracuse, New York, has offices and partners worldwide with its Asian Headquarters located in Suzhou, China.
