Avery Dennison Selects RKB Splice Detection Solution
Syracuse, NY, February 20, 2003 - R.K.B. OPTO-ELECTRONICS, INC., (R.K.B.) the world’s leading supplier of splice detection technology, has been selected by Avery Dennison Corporation to supply its leading edge Splice Detector Solution. Avery Dennison is a global leader in pressure-sensitive technology and innovative self-adhesive solutions for consumer products and label materials. This acquisition marks the 32nd system to be implemented throughout the Avery Dennison organization worldwide.
R.K.B is proud to continue its partnership with Avery Dennison as a valued supplier of their quality control and assurance objectives. “Over the years, R.K.B has provided Avery Dennison with many successful splice detection solutions. Our partnership has grown and will continue to grow as the need for essential and reliable fault detection becomes more vital to ensure Avery Dennison’s customers receive the highest quality and splice free product available” stated Bruce T. Dobbie, President and CEO of R.K.B.
The Model 1032B Splice Detector detects sudden changes in web material thickness due to splices or web breaks in high-speed papermaking, printing, converting, and similar manufacturing processes. The Model 1032B Splice Detector helps manufacturers prevent costly repairs to rolls, dies, and sensitive production equipment. It also helps to reduce costs for producing, sorting, and disposing of defective products. The Model 1032B Splice Detector is capable of monitoring single or multiple webs of papers, plastics, films, and other types of nonmetallic materials. Outputs produced by the device can be used to automatically control production equipment such as sheeters, coaters, supercalendars, extrusion laminators, roto presses, slitters, rewinders, and paper machines. The Model 1032B Splice Detector is designed for center of web mounting, eliminating the need for repositioning to accommodate changes in web width under just-in-time, short run, or high product mix manufacturing conditions. It can be installed at any convenient position in the web's path to provide defect detection at the earliest possible stage of the process.
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 web inspection solutions in the world. R.K.B was the first
commercial on-line web inspection supplier in the world. With more than fifty
years experience in web inspection development, techniques and solutions, R.K.B
has significantly extended the benefits of automatic optical web inspection.
Early R.K.B systems were based on patented
ultraviolet, photomultiplier and
infrared, phototransistor technology. In the 1970’s, R.K.B developed and
patented the first camera-based system called the Vidicon 7000. Using the most
advanced technology available, RKB streak detection systems can monitor and
detect streaks and scratches down to sizes that no other company can achieve no
matter what process speed you’re manufacturing at. Our patented streak detection
technology truly is the latest breakthrough in the art of defect fault
detection. This advanced scanner truly represents a quantum leap forward in the
technology! |
