The new Elcam Missing
Matrix and Label Detection system is a special solution for the narrow web
label industry. With typical set up times of less than 5 seconds and no moving
parts to adjust, it is an impressive, low cost alternative to the traditional
time consuming set-up procedure of conventional sensor arrays.
The system is easy
to install, easy to use, and very robust in operation. Thanks to this new
development, label printers are able to avoid waste and improve product
quality. Additionally, due to the very quick setup times, machine productivity
will increase significantly. The system consists of the smart vision camera Elcam
in combination with LED light sources, a small controller to handle stop
signals for the production process (if needed), and a touch screen panel with
an intuitive graphical user interface.
Nyscan 100% Print
Inspection continued to impress attendees with its fast and easy set-up, clear
presentation of defect data, and the ability to integrate an entire production
process into its Workflow concept. By using data obtained during print
inspection, Erhardt+Leimer’s RollScheduler system can control a finishing
machine by automatically and accurately placing defects at the splicing table.
Further, this is achieved without the need for special marks, flags, or labels.
From prepress through finishing, E+L’s Workflow solution provides the tool for
quality control.
Elscan remains the
premium solution for web viewing and attendees were clearly impressed with the
image quality presented by the system. Elscan OMS 4 uses two cameras with fixed
focal lengths. Using digital zoom the system switches imperceptibly between the
two cameras, allowing for delay free zooming and navigation. By means of
delay-free zooming using the mouse wheel, it is possible to display any section
of the repeat and then select an overview of the entire repeat just as quickly.
Also, a simple click on the required point on the repeat will move the camera
to this position allowing the print quality to be checked as quickly as
possible.
