May 30, 2006. /Lesprom Network/. Papertech is pleased to announce the release of the latest WebVision® Plus software version 12.2, offering papermakers many new powerful tools to solve the root cause of breaks and other paper quality issues. In addition to the advanced features released with v12.0, such as PatternMatcher™, D-ROI™ and MultiView™, v12.2 adds support for higher resolution/higher speed fully digital GigE cameras, hands-free break video playback, configurable break triggers, support for 16 break and speed signals, grade configurable downloads, individual video jog/shuttle within multiple video playback, customized colour options and much more. Simply put, for papermakers this means a faster, more complete way to solve break and other runnability issues resulting in higher production and profit. Papertech’s continuous innovation maintains WebVision Plus as the best event capturing system on the market, specifically engineered to meet papermakers’ needs. Papertech is also pleased to introduce another leading development in event capturing camera technology for the paper industry. Guaranteed to outperform any other cleaning solution on the market today, Papertech’s EverClean™ camera housing has proven to operate for weeks without operator intervention. As part of Papertech’s WebVision® Plus camera system, EverClean (patent pending) provides the operator with clear video images day after day ensuring effective break analysis. Don’t take our word for it, take this papermaker’s: “Just an update on the EverClean status, I currently have this unit mounted in one of our worst camera locations on PM 16. I’ve located it on the wet end, back side, of the Pickup Felt. This camera gets rained on quite often and the lens is always filthy, not to mention that no one likes to clean it in this location. The new housing has been in place for days now and the lens looks as clean now as it did when I first installed it. The EverClean camera housing is working amazingly well for this application. The image is the best it has ever been.” Ideally suited for dirty locations with difficult or no access during operation, EverClean only requires a small amount of air to maintain a clear camera view. No water or mechanical methods are used that would increase installation and operating costs. EverClean is offered as part of the WebVision Plus system or as an upgrade retrofit to older WebView camera housings. It can be retrofitted to any other manufacturer's system and is designed to fit any camera used in the industry.
