Prevent Costly Repair:

The Model 1088BM Black Mamba® Web Press Splice Detector™ & Distribution Technology is to detect the presence of splices in the web of paper being processed on a high speed web press and generate output signals to notify the press print stations that a splice has been detected. The spacing tolerance between the press print heads or station is very close and there is potential to damage the print heads/station by passing a splice through the press when the press is in ready position. Detection of a splice in the web is critical to allow the system sufficient time to protect the print heads/station.

In general, the Model 1088BM Black Mamba® will:

	Reliably detect splices in the web.
	Generate a signal upon detection of a splice.
	Provide a fail safe mechanism to notify the press system that the sensor subsystem is connected and functioning.

RKB Technology:

The Model 1088BM Black Mamba® is comprised of two distinct devices including a standard Model 1088 Sentinel® Splice Detector™ with a separate control & distribution solution. The splice detector sensor detects splices and outputs an electronic signal to indicate the presence of a defect "fault" event. Upon receiving the defect fault event signal, the Model 1088BM Black Mamba® control & distribution solution processes the information to determine the difference from the actual fault event and a periodic time based signal ("heartbeat") generated that provides internal diagnostics and continuity checks. Once the defect fault splice event signal has been determined and processed, the signal is then sent out for opto-isolation processing via cabling sets to the various web press print head stations. The processing circuits in the Model 1088BM Black Mamba® solution disables the heartbeat output if the sensor unit is not "powered on" or the splice fault signal is not connected. In addition, an option to disable the "heartbeat" independently for each output channel at field installation time is supported. In the latter case, splice fault events detected by the properly connected, powered on, and functioning sensor unit will exit each channel with or without the "heartbeat" depending on the installation specific settings.

Expect Reliability:

With installations in over 130 countries worldwide, our splice detection technologies have been effectively established to ensure delivered product superiority on tens of thousands of materials, coated and non-coated such as papers, films, nonwovens, textiles, and tapes. Our splice detection technologies are installed on many types of machinery including sheeters, on and off machine coaters, extrusion laminators, supercalenders, rotogravure and flexographic printing presses, holographic processes, textile and nonwoven machinery. Low speed to high speed, RKB Splice Detectors are proven time and time again to be the leader in performance, reliability and price.

Benefits:

Each Black Mamba system installed provides the end users, as well as the web press manufacturer the following:

	100% Reliability in splice fault detection.
	Fail safe to notify the press that the Black Mamba is connected and functioning.
	Limits emergency down time caused by damaged print heads/stations.
	Eliminates the need for "SPLICE FREE PAPER" to be required.
	Reduces print head/station replacements.
	Increases product quality of both press and printed material.
	Facilitates increased market share thus increase annual revenues.
