Splice Detector, Model 1032B by RKB

Syracuse, NY, April 1, 2001 – R.K.B. OPTO-ELECTRONICS, Incorporated (R.K.B.), a leading supplier of machine vision and web inspection solutions, announced today that a leading supplier of food service packaging and consumer products has selected R.K.B. to supply state-of-the-art splice detector technology to ensure the consistent presence of bag seals.

R.K.B. is proud to have been selected as a valued supplier of their overall quality control and assurance goals. Their customers will now be able to acquire their leading-edge products that are assured of the highest possible quality. The bag material, which is manufactured in a continuous fashion, has two processes applied during the manufacturing stage. These processes break up the continuous web by making a heat seal at a prescribed length indicating the bottom of a bag and by applying a perforated seem adjacent to the heat seal for bag removal by the consumer. If the seal is not present, then the bag material is compromised. R.K.B. splice detection solution, which as been modified, monitors this bag material and can indicate to production the absence of this seal/seem process.
