New and updated quality control products from Troika

Troika Systems Limited, a UK company specialising in print-based quality control products, has announced its line-up for the forthcoming drupa event, where it will be exhibiting in hall 10, stand D52.

The new Troika Systems line-up spans a wide range of printing disciplines, including gravure, intaglio, flexography, and lithography.

New GravureCam
Making its debut at drupa, the company has reacted to the demand from distributors and dealers for a device with the ability to read chrome gravure cylinders. The challenges for measuring gravure cells are different to those addressed by the company’s AniCam, so new software for gravure analysis has been developed by Troika Systems. Based on similar camera technology as the AniCam unit, GravureCam (pictured) is now in operation at beta sites in Europe and USA. Production units are scheduled for release within two months of the show.

New IntaglioCam
To cope with the special requirements associated with the security print market Troika Systems has developed IntaglioCam. This product is a mono censored, high speed camera with three times higher resolution compared to Troika Systems flagship camera, the AniCam. Due to the specialist nature of this market sector, Troika says it is interested in hearing from specialist equipment distributors in all countries during the show.

Updated AniCam
AniCam is a quality control instrument for measuring the volume of cells on anilox cylinders. The product on show at drupa will feature the latest software version for AniCam, released in the first quarter of 2008. The show will provide the launch for the next version of the color camera for AniCam, which will improve the analysis speed by over two times. A single measurement on an anilox roll can now be taken in less than one minute. AniCam will also be shown on the Pamarco Global Graphics stand (hall 16, stand A78).

Troika Systems will also display its hand-held Plate-II-Print tool for flexographic printers to check both plate quality and print quality; its FlexoCam quality control tool for evaluating the flexographic plate, film and mask, and the printed sheet; and the LithoCam and LithoCam Lite for measuring lithographic printing.
