US converter installs AVT inspection system

TLF Graphics, a label converter based in Rochester, New York, USA, has installed an AVT PrintVision/Helios II 100 percent automatic inspection system together with a Helios II WorkFlow Link. 

The company produces pressure sensitive labels as well as labeling systems and screen printed products. For label production it uses both flexography and digital printing processes. TLF installed the AVT equipment on a Nilpeter press and an Arpeco Tracker rewinder. 

Dan Wagner, vice president of operations and partner of TLF Graphics, said: ‘It is all about delivering the highest quality, defect-free product to the customer. The AVT systems have allowed us to improve print quality and increase throughput. We use the AVT defect detection system for all applications including the automatic inspection of printing products with very small type that are difficult and costly for an individual to inspect.’ 

Amir Dekel, vice president of marketing for AVT, stated: ‘Label printers like TLF have a unique opportunity to greatly increase the overall efficiency of existing equipment with the installation of our systems. By allowing our systems to provide automatic inspection and defect detection, as well as extremely efficient roll cleaning capabilities of WorkFlow Link, printers can run their equipment at higher speeds while at the same time greatly increasing print quality and output efficiency.’
