In the fast-paced world of flexographic and gravure printing, maintaining consistent print quality while minimising waste is crucial. As press speeds exceed hundreds of metres per minute, manual print monitoring becomes unreliable and reduces productivity. Camera-based web video systems for print monitoring are essential for real-time print monitoring.
What is a camera-based web monitoring system?
A camera-based web viewing system captures live images of printed webs at high speed and displays them as steady images on HD monitors for operator review. These systems can operate seamlessly at speeds up to 1000 metres per minute, helping identify:
- Register errors
- Streaks, smudges, and missing prints
- Voids, trapping issues, and overprinting defects
Operators can magnify the defect images to help pinpoint their causes, allowing real-time corrective actions.
