not rest on our laurels , but are keen to put environmental protection into practice with ‘ real measures ’,” emphasizes the owner . For him , short machine response times , high sensitivity in error detection , and the lowest possible level of waste are powerful ways to increase the quality of results . Achieving more with less is the definition of increased efficiency , and this has been implemented here in an exemplary manner - including the consistent use of additional technical components from BST .
Target definition : maximum quality of results
“ In our industry , the highest quality of results on the one hand and speed on the other are decisive criteria for success . Optimizing both at the same time requires intelligent solutions . The key lies in the quality control of the printing processes . BST ’ s control and video inspection systems combine the necessary optical components with the appropriate software and user interfaces ,” says the managing director . The high camera resolution and precise zoom behavior ensure technical precision . Another important goal of Vahle GmbH when modernizing its printing presses was to avoid long system downtimes . BST also offers advantages here , as all inspection systems allow the cameras to be simply transferred
Even at a maximum web speed of 1,000 meters per minute , BST PROView delivers reliable print image control in real time . Whether long-life LED flashes or optional flashes , coating flashes and UV flashes - the material webs are optimally illuminated for every requirement .
from one machine to another . This saves waiting time and increases the productivity of the machines . Simple backups ensure additional operational reliability .
BST AR 4400 register control on all printing presses
The modern machinery of the offset printing house consists of four Muller Martini Concepta machines . The most powerful machine can print ten colors simultaneously , another nine , another eight and the smallest five . BST AR 4400 has been implemented in each machine for precise alignment of paper , inks and images . The control component enables precise register adjustment on many types of presses , including offset , hybrid and label presses . It sets color and intermediate registers as reliably as additional printing units or tooling stations without the need for teach-in times . Thanks to its compact design , intuitive touchscreen operation and low installation effort , the BST AR 4400 is as easy to implement as it is to operate .
Real-time error detection with PROView
“ A major pain point in the old press line was the screens of the print inspection systems . Because they only showed small , low-resolution images , we were often unable to detect print defects in time , resulting in waste . In addition , there
