Defect marking places marks on a web at a position relative to a defect or process upset.
Certain defects in a web will cause problems in subsequent processes. For quality purposes, these defects must be identified and removed prior to shipping to your customers. RYECO's Defect Marker places a colored or invisible mark on the web at the machine direction location of the defect. The system can be used manually by machine operators, interfaces with any Web Inspection System, and can be triggered automatically with any process control equipment. Marked defects warn downstream operators to take preventative actions to avoid downtime and ensure that your customers receive only your best product.
