The AVT Inspection Unit has been installed to reduce waste and improve efficiency

 

An AVT Inspection Unit has been added to Baker Labels’ Nilpeter FB-3 flexo press to enhance quality control capabilities. The investment was prompted by the purchase of an Auto Set Vectra SGTR glueless turret rewinder from AB Graphic in February 2018.

Bakers uses both an HSR330 Rewinder and the Omega SRI Rewinder, and its FB-3 press includes a servo re-insertion unit with web guide and a corona plus a rotary screen unit for effects such as embellishments and fluorescents.

The new unit will be particularly advantageous when the Vectra is running in-line with the Nilpeter FB-3 as jobs will not be required to go through the Omega Rewinder.

The AVT Inspection Unit will trigger an alarm and stop the press if it registers a variation from the master label such as movement or colour variation. This allows operators to correct any problems early, reducing waste and improving efficiency.
