|
|
High – Tech for your printing machine
|
Our printing control systems, PCS, are reliable multifunctional
control systems for any branch of the printing industry. The high grade
of automation combined with very user friendly operation provide an
efficient productivity increase and a significant reduction of
production process costs. Defect and quality deviations can be easily
detected by the operator who can take immediate corrective action.

|
Traversed web viewing systems: |
|
|
|
easyView |
easyView is our cost efficient, easy to use system for web
viewing. A high resolution, digital progressive scan CCD camera
technology for image resolutions up to 1024x768 pixels, in
combination with a 12x servo-zoom lens, offer significantly more
image information compared to conventional analog video camera
systems. The systems performance can easily be compared to a
3CCD-camera system. The easyView contains of a
camera-traverse unit, the image processing system and of our
extensive but easy to use PCS View Software.

dualView |
dualView With the help of revolutionary technology
dualView leads to the next generation of web viewing systems
providing entirely new features. It consists of two digital CCD
cameras which are mounted side by side. The first CCD camera
equipped with a wide angle lens offers the total overview, the
second CCD camera is equipped with a telephoto lens and offers
simultaneously a high magnification for finest image details.
With this combination an extremely fast and precise web viewing
can be achieved without any time consuming lens zooming. The
image visualization is absolutely free of any distortions and
fringes due to the application of two digital 2 megapixel
cameras in combination with special high resolution lenses. Web
viewing is not the only purpose of this high definition system
consisting of 2 12bit cameras with a dynamic range of 4096:1, it
can also be used for color measurement, color densitometry and
color register measurement.
dualView has been patented by Theta System because of its
absolutely unique features.

Web viewing over the whole web width: |

|
|
superView |
superView integrates the newest technologies of dualView
by the linear arrangement of several megapixel cameras with
lenses of the same focal length, over the whole web width.
Depending on the number of cameras, pixel resolutions of smaller
0.1mm can be achieved for the image capturing with more than 64
megapixels image information. For example 8 million pixels are
visualized with outstanding image quality simultaneously by the
use of four 20” LCD-color displays (each with 1600x1200 pixels).
superView is especially suitable for densitometry,
colorimetry, color register measurement, defect detection and
barcode inspection in connection with our software modules. The
inspection of the whole web sheet is possible in shortest time
periods by the automatic scan in web running direction
(multiscan).

ultraView |
ultraView is the ultimate web viewing system. ultraView
offers 100% inspection of every single sheet with a stunning
resolution of <0.1mm. This system allows 100% defect detection,
100% color measurement, 100% color densitometry and a 100%
barcode inspection. With this performance ultraView easily
outstrips the measuring resolution in web running direction (at
web speeds of 5m/s) of even the fastest inspection systems on
the basis of line scan sensors.

spectraCon |
spectraConis the worldwide first inline measurement system for
simultaneous spectral color- and color density measurement over the
whole web width with measurement rates up to some hundred per second.
Due to this fact it is not only possible to completely scan each color
control stripe with every rotation but also to scan the entire subject
in web running direction for its spectral information. The spatial
resolutions of this system is <1mm. High power LED illumination for line
scan illumination grants nearly unlimited durability. With the use of 2D
multi-spectral-photometers (comparable with >1000 ordinary spectral
photometers) and a spectral resolution of <1nm in combination with 12bit
CCD measurement cameras (optionally 16bit), the system provides precise
and absolute color- and color density values. Closed Loop density
control is also possible for special applications.

|
scanCon |
scanCon is a very cost-efficient alternative or an add-on
solution to our inline printing control systems. It is really
simple: take a sheet out of the press and scan the sample with
scanCon. In connection with our various software modules there
are many possibilities of perfect quality control: control
color, density, registers and detect defects or even barcodes.
This system is available in DIN A4 up to DIN A0 scanCon format.

regiCon - color register |
regiCon
allows you to optimize your printing jobs from the beginning.
Just measure the color register deviations and print out the
quality protocol. This is not only a system for cost reduction,
but also it provides a perfect verification of your high quality
standards for your customers.

|
|
|
colorCon - color measurement:
|
colorCon
provides a reliable quality control which facilitates the
printer to print continuously at the same high quality level.
With the detected deviations regarding the predefined reference
values the user automatically receives correction
recommendations. Thereby you can save wastepaper costs and a lot
of time. The quality report gives you the possibility to provide
proof of your quality to your customers.

deCon - color density |
Color density in real time - The inline color density measurement
enables the printer to recognize quality deviations very fast and to
correct them immediately. A conventional hand operated densitometric
measurement is not necessary any more. Saving of time and wastepaper are
the positive result. Color constancy is achieved by prompt analysis of
the measurements and the opportunity of a fast reaction of the printer
to make adjustment modifications. As a result, the print quality is
improved considerably.

defectCon - automatic defect detection: |
defectCon is an upgrade of superView web inspection. It supports the
user by automated defect detection continuously over the whole sujet and
accelerates the reaction time of the printer enormously by immediate
alarm and position output. Defects smaller than 1 mm are indicated
reliably. Because the whole web width is controlled, it compensates the
disadvantage completely that traversed systems only look at one part of
the sujet.

|
|
|
barCon - Barcode |
barCon scans continuously the barcodes you have defined and
evaluates its accuracy. In case of printing deviations the
printer is prompted to a fast reaction by an alarm. In
connection with the PCS report function you now have an
important proof document for your customers that the barcode has
been printed perfectly over the whole production run.

|
|
|
|
CLOSED LOOP |
A closed loop control optimizes the print quality of the
entire production run. The computer controlled regulation with precise
control algorithms works almost in realtime. With our closed loop
systems you are always one step ahead.

Another example of our customers is the Banque de France for which we
developed a special inline color measurement system for quality control
for printing bank notes. On the basis of cameras, these systems operate
with a 100% inspection of the Lab-color values and identify bank notes
as waste paper, which are not in the tolerance.
