Specifications are subject to change without notice. Note: If you web speed is less than 100 fpm, specialized circuitry may have to be applied. If you purchase this unit and it is found that specialized circuitry is required due to misinformation, all monies applicable will be charged, then applied as a credit for replacement of this standard unit with a specialized unit. Additional fees may be applied.

Cut Costs and Downtime: Cut downtime while preventing costly repairs to rolls, dies, and delicate process equipment used in web based material manufacturing and conversion processes with our state-of-the-art splice detection technology. Since this splice detector treats the web material as a dielectric, immediate changes in material thickness due to splices, tearouts, and web breaks in non-metallic material and conversion processes are instantly revealed. Installed along any convenient point in your web, our splice detector will alert production personnel at the earliest possible stage of your process.

Guarantee Product Quality: With over 3000 delivered units worldwide, our splice detection technologies have been effectively applied to ensure delivered product quality on any grade of non-metallic web material such as coated and non-coated papers, films, nonwovens, textiles, and tapes. Our splice detection technologies can be installed on many types of machinery including sheeters, on and off machine coaters, extrusion laminators, supercalenders, rotogravure and flexographic processes, holographic processes, textile and nonwoven machinery.

Minimize Operator Intervention: Both a signal contact closure and a signal digital pulse output are integrated with each Splice Detector for control or activation of peripheral equipment such as audio/visual alarms, counters, sorters, coating head applicators, corona treaters, spray marking systems and reject gate controls. This technology comes as a complete package measuring 4.5" x 4.5" x 12" (11.43cm x 11.43cm x 30.48cm) and has universal mounting holes in the base and the back. All of our splice detection technologies can be combined with our own multicolor spray marking and sheeter reject gate control technologies for completely unattended operation of your production equipment.

Respond to Varying Conditions: Our splice detection technologies are self calibrating and can monitor single to multiple webs of material simultaneously. No adjustments, settings or re-calibrations are required and our technology is completely unaffected by basis weight changes, coat weight changes, color and process manufacturing speeds. Our splice detectors automatically "Adjust Themselves" for up-to-the-minute process conditions. Special splicing tapes, colors or identification tags are not required and the operation is unaffected by printed material.

Demand Proven Performance: R.K.B Splice Detectors are innovative technologies designed for reliable, stable and consistent operation 24/7 in real world conditions common to web based material manufacturing and converting processes. Designed to operate off of 120/220/240 VAC, 50/60Hz, consumption is as low as 5 watts. Low speed to high speed coating, laminating, printing, packaging and specialized converting processes, R.K.B Splice Detectors are proven time and time again to be the leader in performance, reliability and price. Installations in over 120 Countries worldwide, join with leading manufacturers who demand proven performance for their quality control initiatives.
