QI Press Controls (QIPC) is set to intensify its partnership with China-based Hunan Xinhua. In addition to the QIPC equipment already installed on its book and newspaper presses, Hunan has placed an order for two mRC-3Ds for automatic color register on its new Goss book printing press. The two mRC-3Ds will be fitted with Ink Mist Shield (IMS) and a new folder will also be installed in the printing plant, which is located in the South Western city of Shaoyang.
Hunan Xinhua’s positive experiences with QIPC systems in the past were instrumental in its decision to invest in QIPC’s measurement and control systems for the new book printing press. “We have placed three previous orders with QIPC,” explains Xintao Lee, deputy general manager of Hunan Xinhua. “We’re happy with their systems and know that they deliver superior quality and stable performances. QIPC has an extremely good name in the marketplace. With that reason in mind too, we opted to use QIPC on our new press.”
The mRC-3Ds will enable the color register to be controlled automatically on the press from now on. In terms of speed, the mRC-3D camera is second to none and is able to give accurate measurements independently of the focal distance and irregularities in the paper web. This means extremely short response times as a result of which waste can be substantially reduced. The mRC-3D detection camera is now equipped with double sensors. The double sensor technology not only doubles the possibilities, but can also handle depth more efficiently. This concept has proven its value when it comes to unsteady paper web routings and or surfaces. IMS ensures that the optics on the mRC-3Ds can be cleaned using removable glass.
