Founded to meet the needs of multinational paper, film, foil, steel, non-wovens and other allied manufacturers for web inspection related equipment, R.K.B. designs, develops, manufactures, and markets the most diverse line of machine vision and web inspection technologies in the world. In the 1970’s, R.K.B. developed and patented the first camera-based system called the Vidicon 7000.
