The inspection Conveyor enables unprecedented inline quality control.
Koenig & Bauer MetalPrint, the leading provider of metal decorating solutions presents one of its latest innovations, a conveyor customized for inline inspection of metal sheets.
Inspection Conveyor
The inline inspection unit uses sheet handling to assure a high-resolution inspection of the metal sheet as it moves through the production line. Thus enables an analysis of the printed image and the coated or uncoated surface to detect defects such as scratches, contaminations or other imperfections – on both sides of the sheet, completely inline. Once a defect on the sheet is detected, it is documented and, if the line configuration is suitable, a signal can be transmitted to automatically reject this waste sheet in a subsequent module of the line. Even if the line configuration does not allow direct rejection, a complete quality check and documentation is still implemented. This ensures that only 100% verified sheets are delivered to the customer.
Key features:
Camera-based inspection of front and back of metal sheets
100% inline quality control of coating and print appearance
Can be integrated in a variety of ways into a line
Individually adaptable due to modular design
Reduction of follow-up costs through transparent quality inspection
In 2024, we are looking at full recovery and growth-led investment in Indian printing
Indian Printer and Publisher founded in 1979 is the oldest B2B trade publication in the multi-platform and multi-channel IPPGroup. It created the category of privately owned B2B print magazines in the country. And by its diversification in packaging, (Packaging South Asia), food processing and packaging (IndiFoodBev) and health and medical supply chain and packaging (HealthTekPak), and its community activities in training, research, and conferences (Ipp Services, Training and Research) the organization continues to create platforms that demonstrate the need for quality information, data, technology insights and events.
India is a large and tough terrain and while its book publishing and commercial printing industry have recovered and are increasingly embracing digital print, the Indian newspaper industry continues to recover its credibility and circulation. The signage industry is also recovering and new technologies and audiences such as digital 3D additive printing, digital textiles, and industrial printing are coming onto our pages. Diversification is a fact of life for our readers and like them, we will also have to adapt with agility to keep up with their business and technical information needs.
India is one of the fastest growing economies in nominal and real terms – in a region poised for the highest change in year to year expenditure in printing equipment and consumables. Our 2024 media kit is ready, and it is the right time to take stock – to emphasize your visibility and relevance to your customers and turn potential markets into conversations.
