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 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.
