Multicolor Web Edge Spray Marking Technology by R.K.B.

Syracuse, NY, April 1, 2004 - R.K.B. OPTO-ELECTRONICS, INC., a leading supplier of paper web inspection, machine vision and material imaging technologies announced today that a leading manufacturer of world-class premium writing and specialty papers has invested in the R.K.B. Model 1280® Multicolor Spray Marking System.

Our multicolor spray marking solution 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.

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.
