Controlling Flexo And Gravure Viscosity

Flexographic and gravure printers can use Fullbrook Systems' new Viscosity Supervisor to control and log data from up to 10 process viscometers.

Flexographic and gravure printers can use Fullbrook Systems' new Viscosity Supervisor to control and log data from up to 10 process viscometers.

The SVGA colour touch screen clearly displays the process values and required set points for each viscometer said Fullbrook.

Designed specifically for use on printing and coating machines where multiple viscometers are commonly installed, the control algorithm learns the process and adjusts its operation to provide improved accuracy of control.

Accurate viscosity control can save up to 20 per cent on ink costs and improve quality and consistency during each production run claimed Fullbrook.

Centralising the viscosity control system saves space and enables the operator to monitor the viscosity values for each instrument at a glance.

The Viscosity Supervisor also records and logs process data to a history file for future reference it was claimed by the company.

Fullbrook Systems can also configure the Viscosity Supervisor to suit different applications by adding bespoke screen displays and control functions it added.
