Medek and Shörner’s video print quality
monitoring system (VST) is a favourable
method of avoiding scrap and saving
money.
The VST video stroboscope has been
designed to continuously monitor the
print quality of fast running cable printing
machines. The system also offers the
convenience of being able to view the
entire print area at various magnifications
on a monitor screen.
The integrated software allows various
evaluations of the displayed print area;
eg alarm in case of bad quality and/
or missing prints. The system can also
be used for inspection of the insulation
quality and the correct colour.
The VST system offers more comfort to
the operator allowing for easy inspection
of the print and/or insulation quality.
Additionally checking the quality on
screen offers more safety to the operator
since he can control the image from a
distance and does not have to check close
to the fast running cable.
The biggest advantage is to save a lot of
scrap by real time inspection and alarm,
so that the price of the VST will amortise
and pay for itself already after a few
manufactured drums of cable.
