Applications
TubeScan inspection technology is used in numerous applications such as
- package printing
- label printing
- surface inspection of substrate materials
Besides these standard applications TubeScan is being used in many special or customized applications:
Special Applications
UV inspection for luminescent applications
- Switch between standard white light inspection and UV inspection
- Inspect luminescent areas such as coatings, adhesives, silicones
- Inspect features printed with UV and fluorescent inks
Security print
Transparent labels on transparent or opaque liners
- Use the special contour light to create an image contrast when producing transparent labels on clear or even white paper liners
- Detect almost invisible missing labels and matrix residues, especially on blank labels
- Switch between standard white light inspection
- and contour light inspection
Clear-on-clear
Clear-on-paper
Sleeves / tubes
Pinhole detection
- Detect tiniest pinholes in aluminum foil and other opaque webs
- Switch between direct white light illumination for standard print inspection and back light illumination for pinhole detection
Aluminum lids
Blister packs
Distance monitoring / position monitoring
- Monitor the distance between die-line and print
- Monitor the position of printed objects
Die-cutting
Slitting
Embossing
Inspection of highly reflective materials
- Use the adjustable backing bar (with optional idler rolls) for bright-field or dark-field inspection
Cold foil / hot foil applications
Holograms
Coatings
