Weber Packaging Solutions, a manufacturer and supplier of labels and labeling systems has purchased six PrintVision/Helios II 100% Inspection Systems from Israel-based Advanced Vision Technology (AVT).
Weber Packaging will place the systems in their worldwide headquarters in Arlington Heights, Illinois, US; four of them on presses, one on a rewinder and one on a finishing unit of a digital label press.
The advanced 100% automatic inspection solution for label and narrow web printing, PrintVision/Helios II delivers process control and 100% quality assurance capabilities throughout the entire print production workflow, from setup through printing to finishing.
The system, which identifies every type of printing and finishing defect on labels as soon as they occur, can be installed on any press or rewinder. The defects include color misregister, color variations, hazing, misprints, defects to the text, spots, splashes, die-cut problems, missing labels and many other print problems.
Weber Packaging vice president of manufacturing John O'Leary said the company has several pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and medical device manufacturers as customers and it is becoming a requirement to use the technology to guarantee the quality of the labels their products demand.
According to AVT, its technology is working in any production environment and the inspection systems will guarantee that Weber will deliver 100% inspected labels.
AVT is engaged in print process control, quality assurance and color control for the packaging, labels, folding cartons and commercial print markets.
