BST eltromat unveils quality assurance technologies

The company has launched its EcoGuide entry-level web guider, as well as introducing a wide-array sensor from its subsidiary AccuWeb: the ekr 500 digital controller.

BST eltromat has collaborated with pre-press provider Carl Ostermann Erben (COE) to present the advantages of the integration of pre-press, printing and in-line spectral color measurement in web printing. Simplifying and accelerating press set-up, the key to this integration is said to be an easy-to-use operator interface between COE’s pre-press workflow and BST eltromat’s in-line spectral color measurement.

For 100 percent print inspection, BST eltromat has expanded the iPQ-Check module to include self-developed, high-performance LED lighting claimed to open up new possibilities particularly for opaque and reflective substrates.

Also on display is the TubeScan EagleView 100 percent print inspection system from Nyquist Systems, for which BST eltromat is the exclusive worldwide distributor. The new, patented system combines several cameras that deliver detailed zoom images and 100 percent inspection at the same time. For the first time, the company is also demonstrating the interplay of the Shark 4000 Lex 100 percent inspection system for rewinders and narrow web printing presses with its iPQ-Workflow. Finally, BST eltromat has added a joystick to its PowerScope 4000 video system for web inspection, aimed at improving ease of use for the operator.

‘Our innovations at this year's Labelexpo Europe give label manufacturers and other companies with narrow web production processes new options for reliably meeting the steadily increasing quality demands of brand owners. At the same time, we are simplifying the work processes of packaging manufacturers and enabling them to improve the cost-efficiency of their production operations, by minimizing waste, for example,’ said Hans-Peter Stockkamp, global sales manager at BST eltromat International.

Apart from these innovations, BST eltromat is presenting existing products in Brussels, such as CompactGuide, a modular system that can be adapted to different customer requirements, and the CLS Pro 600 digital sensor for line and contrast guiding.
