RKB OPTO ELECTRONICS, INC. Is a designer and manufacturer of high speed machine vision and web inspection equipment and related products. Founded over 50 years ago, RKB was the first commercial online machine vision and web inspection manufacturer in the world to meet the needs of multinational web based material manufacturers for quality assurance requirements. <br/><br/>Originally based in Canada, RKB developed and patented many of the machine vision and web inspection technologies currently in use by many well known multinational companies. Rkb provides the most diverse line of technologies in the world with field proven reliability and high performance. In 1976, RKB relocated to the United States to improve its logistics and purchasing power where it remains today. <br/><br/>RKB technologies detect and analyze many types of defects commonly found in web based processes such as paper, paper board, coated paper, films, foils, steel, aluminum, textiles, magnetic media and other allied products. Recently, RKB introduced a new patented, innovative technology for the online detection of very subtle coating streaks and scratches. Using the most advanced technology, RKB streak detection solutions can monitor and detect streaks as subtle as 2 microns wide at any known production speed. Called the OPTOMIZER, this advanced scanner truly represents a quantum leap forward in quality control and assurance!
