Also, 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.

The most common information encoded is that of incrementing length or footage. Other information that can be encoded relates to rollID or lot numbers. The encoded information entered can be “read” and decoded downstream and used for higher level process control. All major brands of Web Inspection Systems use RYECO Code Marking equipment to synchronize the web to a defect map for automatic unwind control. RYECO also offers a Decoding System to read back RYECO-generated codes and a stand-alone Length and Position Control System that utilizes the unique encoding ability of the Code Marker to control the un-winding phase of a converting operation.

Inaccurate counts can cause problems and may result in customers not receiving the desired number of sheets. RYECO’s Sheet Count Marking Systems solve this problem by monitoring sheet counts and routinely placing marks on a specified number of sheets (i.e., marking every 100th sheet in a stack). This ensures that as sheet stacks are further processed, there will be a visual reference for both operators and process control equipment that indicates the number of sheets present. BENEFITS OF MARKING IMPROVES QUALITY BY... • Ensuring exactly the correct number of sheets in a stack is processed • Not having to recount sheets multiple times INCREASES EFFICIENCY BY... • Having the system mark automatically instead of by hand • Reducing time spent counting by hand CREATES A SAFER WORK ENVIRONMENT BY... • Eliminating the dangerous practice of hand-flagging on moving machinery • Reducing tedious manual counting by operators Our mission is to help manufacturers worldwide achieve Process Perfection by designing, manufacturing, and selling products that increase efficiency, improve quality, and create safer work environments.

A RYECO Stripe Marking System creates continuous or dashed marks for the entire length of a product to indicate product type or a unique characteristic of the material. Marks can represent a specific material grade used in a multi-ply product, filter media orientation, or indicate the coated or uncoated surface of a material. Various marking colors available in the RYECO system can also be used to uniquely identify multiple products on the same manufacturing line. BENEFITS OF MARKING IMPROVES QUALITY BY... • Providing clear indications of product orientation to downstream processes and end users • Preventing processing a web in the wrong orientation or position in a multilayer product INCREASES EFFICIENCY BY... • Marking automatically and continuously instead of making marks by hand • Reducing time spent determining correct roll orientation while processing CREATES A SAFER WORK ENVIRONMENT BY... • Eliminating the dangerous practice of hand-marking the roll • Reducing the reloading of incorrectly oriented rolls on a converting line Our mission is to help manufacturers worldwide achieve Process Perfection by designing, manufacturing, and selling products that increase efficiency, improve quality, and create safer work environments. CONFIGURATIONS EDGE MARKING SINGLE-LANE MARKING NON-JAWED EDGE MARKING MULTI-LANE MARKING FEATURES OF MARKING • Sprays marks in 3-colors or invisible dye to only be seen under special lighting • Can easily switch between continuous or dashed marking modes and set the length and spacing of dashed marks • Markers can be mounted on the edge or in lanes across the moving web • Maintenance aided with cleaning and flushing capabilities • Non-contacting marking method doesn’t use rollers or pens. 810 Pickens Industrial Drive, Marietta, GA 30062 Phone: 770. 4 23. 0 934/Fax: 770. 4 24. 2 554 www. r yeco. c om END OF ROLL MARKING FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION When making small rolls from a larger roll it is critical to know if there is enough material left on the roll to make a complete set. Running out of product on a cash register, credit card machine or similar consumer product can cause a major problem. Conversely, you don’t want to throw away a roll because you’re not sure how much material remains. A RYECO End of Roll Marking System creates a mark at or near the end of the roll giving operators and users sufficient warning to replace it with a new roll prior to running out. BENEFITS OF MARKING IMPROVES QUALITY BY... • Eliminating short rolls of product during converting • Producing a more aesthetically uniform mark than contact marking INCREASES EFFICIENCY BY... • Visually warning converters when they are near the end of an input roll • Preventing a new daughter roll with insufficient product on the input roll CREATES A SAFER WORK ENVIRONMENT BY... • Eliminating the dangerous practice of hand-marking the roll • Reducing injuries caused by clearing jams in equipment Our mission is to help manufacturers worldwide achieve Process Perfection by designing, manufacturing, and selling products that increase efficiency, improve quality, and create safer work environments. CONFIGURATIONS EDGE MARKING SINGLE-LANE MARKING NON-JAWED EDGE MARKING MULTI-LANE MARKING FEATURES OF MARKING • Sprays marks in any color including invisible marks only detected under special lighting • Marks can be dashed or continuous • Can select desired length of the mark • Encoder signal is used for determining mark lengths and aids in the marking process over a wide range of speeds • Maintenance aided with cleaning and flushing capabilities 810 Pickens Industrial Drive, Marietta, GA 30062 Phone: 770. 4 23. 0 934/Fax: 770. 4 24. 2 554 www. r yeco. c om REGISTRATION MARKING FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION During many web processes it is necessary to have precisely spaced marks on the web for use in downstream processes. The RYECO Registration Marking System uses a precision encoder signal or other precision input to place marks with a high degree of accuracy.These marks can be used to fire a knife for sheeting, or for many other converting operations. The RYECO Registration Marking System can be used in conjunction with a RYECO Distortion Monitoring System to allow the user to measure all stretch and shrinkage in a flexible web. BENEFITS OF MARKING IMPROVES QUALITY BY... • Making precisely spaced marks to assist in product length cutting operations • Adding a RYECO Distortion Monitoring System downstream to determine stretch or shrinkage in a flexible web INCREASES EFFICIENCY BY... • Creating registration marks automatically and at very high speeds • Making registration marks on lines that are not printing presses CREATES A SAFER WORK ENVIRONMENT BY... • Eliminating the dangerous practice of hand-marking the roll • Reducing injuries caused by manual registration processes Our mission is to help manufacturers worldwide achieve Process Perfection by designing, manufacturing, and selling products that increase efficiency, improve quality, and create safer work environments. CONFIGURATIONS EDGE MARKING SINGLE-LANE MARKING NON-JAWED EDGE MARKING MULTI-LANE MARKING FEATURES OF MARKING • Sprays marks in any color including invisible marks that are detected under special lighting • Marks can be atomized or un-atomized • Can spray on any substrate and at any speed • The signal to mark can come from an encoder or another precision input • Maintenance aided with cleaning and flushing capabilities 810 Pickens Industrial Drive, Marietta, GA 30062 Phone: 770. 4 23. 0 934/Fax: 770. 4 24. 2 554 www. r yeco. c om SHEET BREAK DETECTION FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Reliable sheet break detection systems are critical to any paper machine operation. Sensors must be fast and detect every break without producing any false alarm. RYECO has designed the SBD-9000 Sheet Break Detection System to withstand the high heat and humidity of a paper machine while meeting the customer’s high performance expectations. This sensor operates in open draws and can be mounted up to 8 inches from the surface of the paper.

Sensors must be fast and detect every break without producing a false alarm. Often it is not practical to mount a sensor close to the web. RYECO offers the EXT-9003 Extended Range Break Detection System that provides up to 60 inches of detecting distance using a Red LED laser. BENEFITS OF EXTENDED RANGE BREAK DETECTION •Long sensing distance for mounting outside the web path or further away •Dual outputs for a maintenance alarm; resulting in fewer false breaks •Patented Air Purge design keeps sensor cool and clean for reduced maintenance •Quick .5 millisecond response time gives immediate indication of sheet breaks •Tri-State Indicator lights for Power, Break and Maintenance •Small “footprint” and flexible mounting configurations for easy fit CONFIGURATIONS BREAK DETECTION TECHNOLOGIES 1 2 BREAK DETECTION TECHNOLOGIES 9003 SSI System 9003 DSI System FEATURES OF EXTENDED RANGE BREAK DETECTION •Works with all RYECO Break Systems Interface Cabinets •Quick disconnect air and electrical connections for easy installation •High temperature cables are standard •Comes preset to standard distances or can be set onsite for longer distances •One sided diffuse-reflective sensor, no reflectors •Optional analog monitoring output (1-5 VDC) allows for real-time sensor feedback OPTIONS • EXT 9003L Right Angle Sensor • Single Sensor Interface Cabinet • Dual Sensor Interface Cabinet • Quick Mount Clamps • Cable Kit • Conduit Coupler • Sensor Insulation Jacket 810 Pickens Industrial Drive, Marietta, GA 30062 Phone: 770. 4 23. 0 934/Fax: 770. 4 24. 2 554 www. r yeco. c om _ _ SHEET ON FABRIC BREAK DETECTION FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Manufacturing certain papers and various other products require the sheet be supported with a fabric. When a break occurs in a section where the sheet is supported, it is impossible to detect the break with standard open draw sheet break detectors. RYECO has developed a unique sensor, capable of detecting a break of a sheet, based on virtually any background and color combination. BENEFITS OF SOF BREAK DETECTION • True-Color recognition allows detection of breaks on any colored background • RGB three primary color light source for accurate color measurement • Patented Air Purge design keeps sensor cool and clean for reduced maintenance • Quick .5 millisecond response time gives immediate indication of Sheet Breaks • Small “footprint” and flexible mounting configurations for easy fit CONFIGURATIONS BREAK DETECTION TECHNOLOGIES 1 2 BREAK DETECTION TECHNOLOGIES 9006 SSI System 9006 DSI System FEATURES OF SOF BREAK DETECTION • Easy one button setup once sheet is established • Extremely high temperature, humidity and wash-down tolerance • One-sided diffuse-reflective sensor, no reflectors • Includes fiber-optic cables 10-20 meters in length OPTIONS • SOF 9006 Sensor • Single Sensor Interface Cabinet • Dual Sensor Interface Cabinet • Stainless Steel Flexible Conduit • Quick Mount Clamp • 10 or 20 meter fiber-optic lengths • Conduit Coupler • Sensor Insulation Jacket • Maintenance Alarm • Redundancy Mounting 810 Pickens Industrial Drive, Marietta, GA 30062 Phone: 770. 4 23. 0 934/Fax: 770. 4 24. 2 554 www. r yeco. c om PLY BREAK DETECTION FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Occasionally, during the conversion process of a tissue web, it is necessary to laminate one or more plies together to achieve a final product. Should a break or fold-over occur on a single ply of a multi-ply web, excessive waste will result further downstream. RYECO’s Model PBD-9007 Ply Break Detection System identifies a break or a fold-over in any ply of a multi-ply web to improve operating efficiencies and product quality. BENEFITS OF PLY BREAK DETECTION IMPROVES QUALITY BY... • Making a more sellable product INCREASES EFFICIENCY BY... • Eliminating downtime on subsequent converting processes • Automatically memorizing the sheet after each roll change or break CREATES A SAFER WORK ENVIRONMENT BY... • Improving safety and saving time by not subjecting operators to hand marking. • Immediately alerting operators of dangerous roll wraps as they occur TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION The RYECO Model PBD-9007 Ply Break Detection System is a sensor that is mounted on one surface of the web on the converting line. Once the sensor is installed, it is set to memorize the sheet characteristics of the multi-ply web. If any sudden change occurs, the sensor interprets this as a break, either in one or all of the plies. At each new roll change the sensor automatically re-memorizes the web to account for grade changes or color shifts. During the converting process, a fold-over can occur after any slitting operation. To take full advantage of a Ply Break Detection System’s benefits a sensor should be placed just downstream of every slitter. The sensor has a unique patented Air Purge design to reduce the likelihood of tissue-dust contamination. The system can sound an alarm and is commonly interface to a RYECO marking system such as a Break Marking System or Defect Marking System. FEATURES OF PLY BREAK DETECTION • Offers continuous patented stary-clean Air Purge design on the sensor optics • Works on any color of web • Provides quick disconnect air and electrical connections for easy installation • Comes with fiber-optic cables in 10 meter and 20 meter lengths • One-sided diffuse-reflective sensor, no reflectors CONFIGURATIONS • PBD 9007 Single Sensor System • PBD 9007 Dual Sensor System • PBD 9007 Multi-Sensor System 810 Pickens Industrial Drive, Marietta, GA 30062 Phone: 770. 4 23. 0 934/Fax: 770. 4 24. 2 554 www. r yeco. c om MARK DETECTION FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Marks placed on the web in an upstream process usually indicate a warning to a downstream operator. Unless the operator is watching the web constantly, they can miss the mark, causing unnecessary downtime. With a RYECO Mark Detection System the marks can be detected automatically; can signal alarms to alert operators of any problems; and can also activate automatic shutdown procedures. A Mark Detection System helps to closethe-loop on your defect detection and removal program BENEFITS OF MARK DETECTION IMPROVES QUALITY BY... • By helping close the loop on the defect removal process automatically INCREASES EFFICIENCY BY... • Saving time; no operator is needed to search for defects • Locating defects quickly and easily CREATES A SAFER WORK ENVIRONMENT BY... • Automating the detection process TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION A Mark Detection System is usually a spot sensor or small camera that is specially tuned to see only the color of the mark that is made upstream. A spot sensor is idea when there is no web wander at the point of detection. A camera can scan or view a window of the web and react to the presence of a mark anywhere in the viewing area. Special lighting is required for the camera sensor to reliably capture every mark. The system is only a presence sensor and cannot decode or measure the marks in any way. RYECO offers camera based detection systems that are capable of seeing a special RYE-DYE for detection on multicolored or printed backgrounds. For applications that require more control see the RYECO Distortion Monitoring System and Length Position Control System. FEATURES OF MARK DETECTION • Can detect marks at speeds of up to 10,000 fpm • Fast, 16 millisecond response times for cameras, .5 milliseconds for sensors • Matched lighting included with each camera system • Air purged and air cooled housings for low maintenance operation CONFIGURATIONS & OPTIONS • Model MAD-8800 Camera Mark Detection System / RD Rye Dye 810 Pickens Industrial Drive, Marietta, GA 30062 Phone: 770. 4 23. 0 934/Fax: 770. 4 24. 2 554 www. r yeco. c om DISTORTION MONITORING FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION For webs that stretch or shrink during processing, it is impossible to know in real time the amount of distortion in the web. Roll size, position in the roll, environmental conditions and tension all affect how much the web can shrink or stretch during processing. Each stage of converting can impart additional distortion in a flexible web. The RYECO Distortion Monitoring System makes it possible to know in real time how much a web stretches or shrinks during processing. BENEFITS OF DISTORTION MONITORING IMPROVES QUALITY BY... • Measuring distortion during processing from one end of the line to the other or between converting stages • Controlling stretch in real time as the roll’s diameter changes INCREASES EFFICIENCY BY... • Providing instantaneous stretch and shrinkage information in a flexible web CREATES A SAFER WORK ENVIRONMENT BY... • Creating no need for manual measuring • Automatically knowing when the web is stretched or relaxed too much and signals alarms TECHNICAL DESCRIPTIION The system usually consists of a RYECO Registration Marking System for making the marks and a RYECO Distortion Monitoring System for detecting the marks. The Registration Marking System places short marks on the web at set length intervals; for example, a mark might be placed every 5 yards or meters.The system uses an encoder to accurately place the marks evenly along the web at a point where the substrate is most stable. At any point downstream or in subsequent converting stages, the spacing of the marks is checked with a Distortion Monitoring System. Any variations are translated into web distortion in the form of the percentage of stretch or shrinkage. The values are displayed in real time on the operator’s screen. The value of stretch or shrinkage can be sent serially to another process control system. Limits can be set by an operator to trigger alarms when action needs to be taken. A trend display shows distortion over time and in the case of multiple lanes the stretch can be displayed as a profile. The marks are normally placed along the edge of the web where they can be trimmed off. FEATURES OF DISTORTION MONITORING • Real Time display of stretch or shrinkage via HMI • Operates on web speeds from 0-10,000 feet-per-minute • Accuracy is .01% of operating speed (About .6” at 500 fpm) • Can detect visible or invisible marks on any color or type of substrate 810 Pickens Industrial Drive, Marietta, GA 30062 Phone: 770. 4 23. 0 934/Fax: 770. 4 24. 2 554 www. r yeco. c om LENGTH AND POSITION CONTROL FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION For most continuous web manufacturers, determining the accurate length for each step of the process can be a real challenge. When a roll of raw material is converted into finished goods, it is critical to know how much product there is in each roll that is shipped. It is also important to know at all times how much product is left on the unwinding roll to ensure complete sets of finished rolls. Encoder issues, and stretch and shrinkage in the substrate can cause large inaccuracies in roll length. RYECO offers the Length and Position Control System that uses evenly spaced code marks on a web that provides users with 100% accurate length and position information in any processed roll. The system also provides functionality for automatic stopping for sets or known defects and can display web stretch and shrinkage in real time. BENEFITS OF LENGTH & POSITION CONTROL IMPROVES QUALITY BY... • Allowing you to know the finished product’s length • Customers’ orders never being shorted again • Accurately stopping at all known defects or product upsets during unwinding INCREASES EFFICIENCY BY... • Eliminating the need to add extra product just to make sure there is enough • Immediately giving insight to control stretch in real time as roll’s diameter changes CREATES A SAFER WORK ENVIRONMENT BY... • Keeping operators hands away from dangerous pinch points CONFIGURATIONS A Length and Position Control System FEATURES OF LENGTH & POSITION CONTROL • Provides real time display of length, distance to end, and stretch or shrinkage via color HMI • Displays any unit of length such as meters, yards or feet • Operates on web speeds from 0-10,000 feet-per-minute • Accuracy is .01% of operating speed (About .6” at 500 fpm) • Can detect visible or invisible marks on any color or type of substrate • Can be used with any encoder, including laser-based 810 Pickens Industrial Drive, Marietta, GA 30062 Phone: 770. 4 23. 0 934/Fax: 770. 4 24. 2 554 www. r yeco. c om EDGE CRACK DETECTION FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Cracks along the edges of a moving web can cause lengthy downtime on subsequent processes such as a coater, re-winder or re-reeler in a paper mill. An edge crack or fold-over can hang-up on a slitter knife causing a blow-up which results in time consuming, costly clean-ups. When the location of every edge crack in a jumbo roll of paper is known then corrective actions can be taken by downstream operators to prevent the blow-up. Knowing when cracks are occurring on the paper machine can also provide Machine Tenders with valuable information that will help them eliminate the source of the cracks. A RYECO Edge Crack Detection System will eliminate all downtime in a paper line caused by edge cracks. BENEFITS OF EDGE CRACK DETECTION IMPROVES QUALITY BY... • Providing information to eliminate edge cracks at their source • When used with a RYECO Defect Marking System, marking front and back cracks different colors INCREASES EFFICIENCY BY... • Allowing operator to immediately address edge cracks that are forming instead of waiting for a winder backlog CREATES A SAFER WORK ENVIRONMENT BY... • Reducing machine and winder downtime due to undetected edge cracks TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION A RYECO Edge Crack Detection System utilizes a patented crack detection technology that combines high speed optics with air to detect even the smallest cracks that are not yet open. As a crack passes through the ECD’s sensors, a small amount of focused air creates enough of an opening for the angled high speed optics to detect the crack.The same air closes the crack back up as it leaves the sensor resulting in no touching or modifying of the crack. The crack opening only has to be 1/16” (1.6 mm) to be detected by the sensor and must extend in from the edge for a measurement of at least 3/8” (9.5 mm). The response time of the high speed sensor is 50 microseconds. The sensor can be adjusted so that only larger cracks are detected. When the sensor is coupled with the RYECO Defect Marking System, all cracks in a jumbo roll are indicated as a colored ring to the winder or re-reeler operators. Typically, both edges of a paper machine are monitored for edge cracks and one edge (the edge facing the winder operator) is marked with a unique color for front and back cracks. FEATURES OF EDGE CRACK DETECTION • Can see separated and non-separated edge cracks • Provides a sensor response time of 50 microseconds for small crack detection at high speeds • Automatic edge tracking and sheet break retraction are standard • Sensors can be placed at the midpoint of the machine to narrow down the source of cracks CONFIGURATIONS • Dual-Sided Edge Crack Detection System • Dual-Sided Edge Crack Detection with up to 6 Color Marking 810 Pickens Industrial Drive, Marietta, GA 30062 Phone: 770. 4 23. 0 934/Fax: 770. 4 24. 2 554 www. r yeco. c om EDGE TRACKING FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION As the web moves back and forth during the manufacturing process, or as a web’s width changes during processing, it becomes necessary to maintain the position of a sensor or marker relative to the edge of the moving web. The RYECO Edge Tracking System will follow the edge and maintain the position of any device mounted on it. BENEFITS OF EDGE TRACKING IMPROVES QUALITY BY... • Tracking opaque and clear webs INCREASES EFFICIENCY BY... • Automatically moving out of the way for threading and startup CREATES A SAFER WORK ENVIRONMENT BY... • Eliminating any need to manually adjust the position as the web wanders TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION The system operates with a tracking sensor and a linear actuator with a 24 VDC stepper motor. There is a moving carriage on which to mount a sensor, camera, or a ink jet marking head. The linear actuator is available in heavy duty and low profile light duty. The heavy duty unit can handle loads of up to 50 pounds with a 36” cantilevered load; the low profile light duty can handle up to 35 pounds with only 12” of a cantilevered load. Many of RYECO’s signature products offer this tracking system as a standard feature or as an option. The ETS designation is not used when tracking is offered with other RYECO systems. This offering is a standalone system and is normally used with non-RYECO sensors or markers. Custom mounting options are available for most common devices such as Ink Jet printheads. FEATURES OF EDGE TRACKING • Maintains a position to within 1/16” (1.6 mm) of the edge • Provides automatic retraction on sheet break • Offers a 12” (305 mm), 24” (610) and 48” (1220) stroke stepper motor actuator • Has AUTO/MANUAL and FORWARD/REVERSE push buttons for operator control 810 Pickens Industrial Drive, Marietta, GA 30062 Phone: 770. 4 23. 0 934/Fax: 770. 4 24. 2 554 www. r yeco. c om Argentina France Japan TRIPROM Pablo Vidales tel | +56 (09) 98205228 email | pvidales@triprom.cl www.triprom.cl Bobinov Alain Leroy tel | +33 (0)3 44 88 60 99 fax | +33 (0)3 44 88 63 95 email | a.leroy@bobinov.com MATSUBO Corporation Tomoaki Takahashi tel | +81 3 5472 1747 fax | +81 3 5472 1740 email | t_takahashi@matusbo.co.jp Australia and New Zealand Germany, Austria, and Switzerland Mexico Russell Technologies Pty Ltd Lloyd Russell tel | +61 02 9651-3597 fax | +61 02-9651-3646 email | rustec1@ozemail.com.au Brazil Blades Industrial Ltda Marina Moura tel | +55 11 5631-4756 email | marina@blades.com.br web | www.blades.com.br Belgium and The Netherlands Stevin Consult n.v.
