Paper Converting Machine Company (PCMC) - a
division of Barry-Wehmiller and a leading supplier of high-performance converting
machinery for the tissue, nonwovens and package-printing industries worldwide -
pleased to announce a strategic partnership with MicroDynamics. The two
industry-leading companies are teaming up to provide customers with the option
to include MicroDynamics’ 3DQC RollScope as part of a bundled package with
PCMC’s Meridian laser anilox cleaner.
The Meridian uses a powerful laser to clean anilox
cells without damaging them, resulting in a superior clean, improved print
quality, reduced waste and a longer life for anilox rolls.
The 3DQC also reduces waste and downtime, making
this bundled package an attractive option for customers. By quickly scanning
the surface of anilox and gravure rolls, the 3DQC provides the measurement of
cell volume that achieves repeatable results better than plus or minus 1
percent. Featuring microscope control, data collection and a visualization
database, the 3DQC’s MicroScan software monitors the volume as the roll wears
and reviews the measurement history, enabling customers to precisely track
every roll.
“I’m very excited that we’re able to team up with
the industry leader of analysis technology,” said Rodney Pennings, Printing,
Coating and Laminating Sales Director for PCMC. “We’re thrilled to offer our
customers this state-of-the-art tool that will help instill quality control in
their tooling inventory, as well as enhance their repeatability. We are looking
forward to this collaboration and creating additional value for customers.”
“This opportunity to partner with PCMC is ideal for
MicroDynamics, as we promote quality across the printing industry,” said Brent
Zurcher, Product Engineer at MicroDynamics. “Being able to pair our
technologies means offering streamlined and cost-effective process control for
customers.”
