The Eyekom is in use in Komori print installations around the world.

..

The purpose of the Eyekom unit is to detect sheets fed into the feeder of a sheet-offset printing press and automatically act during impression as well as acting on the impression-off. Should sheets be improperly fed, or if double sheets are fed, the Eyekom unit stops the feeder. When sheets are improperly fed to the side lay, the Eyekom unit activates an alarm.

Paper position is detected using a number of sensors, using a light source transmitter and a photo transistor receiver, whereby paper is detected as it travels between the source and receiver. In addition, there is a proximity sensor used to count the number of sheets being printed.

Paramount has developed simulation techniques, which permit full functional testing and operation of the Eyekom - 3A
