Clifton Packaging Group has installed inline process control and quality assurance with the PrintVision/Argus inspection unit supplied by Advanced Vision Technology (AVT).
Featuring a flexible design that supports high performance operation on any sort of web substrate, AVT’s PrintVision/Argus employs a combination of line scan vision technologies affording unsurpassed inline process control and quality assurance. When mounted on presses, the inspection unit provides print defect detection by finding, notifying and recording a variety of fault types, including misprints, colour variations, plate problems, hazing, mis-registration, spots and splashes. The system then tags and tracks found defects for downstream removal.
During production and throughout finishing stages, the system ensures early detection and traceability of all critical print production defects, thereby significantly reducing waste and related production costs.
The company is a provider of packaging solutions predominantly serving the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sector of the food industry and the inspection unit is fitted onto its EVO XG8 HD printing press from Flexotecnica.
