100% Printed Label Inspection And Control System
In an attempt to achieve 100 per cent inspection and control of printed labels a new integrated system from three label industry suppliers will combine at Drupa 2008 with a new development.
Tectonics' range of inspection systems use bespoke software and hardware which utilise standard inexpensive 1CCD cameras, high resolution 3CCD cameras, area-scan or line-scan cameras to provide improved passive and active inspection on-line or off-line.
That applies whether low cost K1, which is said to provide up to 40 times magnification, or a Tectonic system for 100 per cent inspection, are used.
According to Tectonic, the human eye was traditionally heavily relied upon for the detection of errors aided in some cases by the use of a strobe light.
However, optical and digital evolution have provided the means to develop systems which detect, alarm or eject defects in print or on production lines at full production speed and at a reduced cost level.
that increases production, minimises errors, reduces production costs and produces improved quality, which attracts a higher level of customer and additional orders, said the company.
