UPM-Kymmene (Changshu) Paper Ind. Co. Orders R.K.B. Web Inspection Technology
|
||
|
R.K.B. has pioneered the field of web inspection for paper, film, foil and allied web based materials. Material colors, machine speed and caliper changes do not affect detection capabilities. R.K.B. has developed and patented many of the technologies currently in use today such as infrared phototransistor technology, capacitive technology, ultraviolet technology and camera based technology. R.K.B. was the first company to incorporate cameras as potential sensors back in the mid 1970's and patented this technique called the Vidicon 7000. Today R.K.B. invests a majority of its finances to research and development in new sensor techniques. Among our many innovations besides our splice detection technology, which is the world leading technology used for the detection of splices (joint), is our very successful coating streak and scratch defect detection technology. This patented technology, now being emulated/copied, by various German inspection suppliers, detects streaks and scratches as small as 1 micron at any process speed. R.K.B. OPTO-ELECTRONICS, INC., designs, develops, manufactures, and markets the most diverse line of machine vision and web inspection technologies currently available to web based material manufacturers. R.K.B., headquartered in Syracuse, New York, has offices and partners worldwide in Asia, Europe, South America and the Middle East.

Syracuse, NY,
January 12, 2011 - R.K.B.
OPTO-ELECTRONICS,
INC., A world leader in machine vision and web inspection design and supply, has
received an order for its state-of-the-art Sentinel™ Splice Detector Technology.
The equipment will be implemented on a Jagenberg sheeter/sorter just prior to
the slitting/diversion process. It is at this point, where all webs of
material come together, that monitoring for splice (joint) type faults is
performed. Whether you are running one up or 16 up, the Sentinel will
catch the splice fault 100% of the time, guaranteed. Truly plug and play, the Sentinel Splice Detector is becoming as popular as our
standard classic unit now installed in thousands of applications in over 120
countries worldwide. Simple and cost effective, the Sentinel Splice
Detector by far out performs any type of sensing technology with an average
return on investment in less than 24 hours. In this particular
application, the Sentinel has been acquired by UPM-Kymmene, China to replace
outdated, unreliable and costly Durag technology used by Bielomatik-Jagenberg. 
The Sentinel
Splice Detector Technology consumes very little power
while providing dependable and consistent splice (joint) detection on any non
metallic web material process application. The technology is designed to monitor 1-16 webs of
material and will detect any splice or joint that may exist within the web based
process. It is applicable to manufacturing processes that require the culling
out of splices or joints prior to subsequent conversion processes and/or end
user shipment. As a control in subsequent
conversion processes, it prevents damage to sensitive equipment such as print
heads on web fed press applications or soft rolls in supercalendering
applications.
Unaffected by printed surfaces, material color, grade changes and process speeds
that challenge “photo eyes” and “ultrasonic devices”, the Sentinel Splice
Detector Technology guarantees
100% reliable detection every day; every shift. The Sentinel Splice
Detector Technology is a self-calibrating system that is
powered by +24VDC. It provides an opto-isolated, digital electronic output with
a pulse width selectable for 1, 10 or 100 milliseconds. The re-designed alarm
indicators are low power, low voltage LEDs that are clearly visible to machine
attendants. The unit can be mounted anywhere along
the web at any angle and
either right side up or upside down.
The Sentinel Splice Detector Technology can be connected directly to PLC control devices or interfaced into
existing edge marking systems or direct control devices. Modular in design, the new
Sentinel requires 50% less energy to operate than its sister unit and can be
equipped with R.K.B.'s AutoTrack™ facilitating tracking of the web material edge
ensuring correct monitoring position is always present during each and every
production run. The AutoTrack will also eliminate operational intervention
as the unit will retract during web breaks and grade change threading
procedures. In today’s economy, our focus is providing your company ways
to streamline processes, increase efficiencies and save money.
Immediate detection, rejection and control of splices and/or joints creates savings
of up to tens of thousands of dollars per annum. Do not miss out!
Invest in your companies future today by implementing the worlds most reliable
and cost effective technology that is clearly unequaled in performance.
