World First For On-Press Image Capture
Tectonic International's new K2it is claimed to be the industry's first system to allow on-demand, wireless, transfer of captured images from the printing press or production line.
Bar Graphic's Elite 400i is a web and tension control system.
The system comprises an electronically controlled web guidance system and ultrasonic sensor and has a web width of 400mm, whilst its 2,000 linear metre unwind is said to enable operators to achieve minimal set-up times.
It also has a variable speed of up to 300 metres per minute that is claimed to provide fast throughput, whilst the system's pneumatic brake has ultrasonic roll compensation for control.
The machine is a fully-reversible rewinder with electronically controlled rewind with interchangeable mandrels, one supplied with the machine to a size as required by the customer.
Vision Experts' 4000 Label HE-G (grey-scale) inspection system is described as a fully-integrated system which, when a reel is run from the rewind to the unwind, the camera detects, records and displays errors for a faultless product.
The system uses a grey-scale line scan camera for high resolution print inspection of pharmaceutical, or security codes, where the highest sensitivity is needed to find very small defects in text, such as missing portions of characters, said Tectonic International.
