RKB Multicolor Web Spray Marking
Technology
Syracuse,
NY, May 28, 2002-R.K.B. OPTO-ELECTRONICS, INC., (R.K.B.) a leading supplier of
machine vision web inspection solutions, announced today that a leading
North American manufacturer of book publishing papers and tea bags, has invested
in the RKB’s Model 1280® Web Edge Multicolor Spray Marking System.
The Model 1280 is intended to be employed in industrial web manufacturing
processes for marking the edge of moving webs of material which are reeled up
subsequent to the application of the mark. The mark itself is made by spraying
suitable marking fluids on to the sheet edge such that when reeled up, the marks
are visible as concentric, colored rings on the end of the reel. The spray
marker may be employed with various types of automatic web inspection systems,
or process control equipment to place marks at the sheet edge whenever a defect
fault is identified in the web or when a process unit has failed to perform its
application to a web. The multicolor markers provide a red, blue, green, black
or orange spray for different signals. These enables the colors to be used to
indicate defect fault location in the cross machine direction, defect fault
classification and type or which process unit such as a coater or treater may
have failed.
