was machine downtime when the cameras failed . We wanted a system that shows the print in real time and minimize reaction times ,” explains Stefan Lodenkemper . Therefore , three presses were upgraded with the customizable BST PROView video web inspection system . The installed SuperHandyScan 4000 camera inspection system had to be replaced . BST PROView now provides reliable real-time print image monitoring , even at a maximum web speed of 1,000 meters per minute . In the standard configuration , a long-life LED flash illuminates the web homogeneously . If required , optional flashes , coating flashes and UV flashes can be added . This allows BST PROView to display front-to-back register , coatings and UV fluorescent inks .
“ The units are easy to use . One person can install it with a few screws and put it into operation . It automatically downloads the necessary updates , so you can get started almost immediately ,” says Friedrich Lodenkemper . His son sees the main advantages in practical use : “ The system is easy to use . All tasks can be carried out intuitively , thanks to the well-thought-out user interface . The print image is displayed on a high-resolution 22-inch monitor and the controls are accessed via a multi-touch panel . Depending on the hardware configuration , this can show minimal color deviations as well as missing coatings , color haze or mechanical defects . “ The operators are very happy . Because the display is razor sharp , we have to stop the machines
