A Web inspection system checks the quality and content of the printed pages. With the WI8 Web Inspection system you can check quality and content of the printing on each page in terms of colors, positions, contours, smearing, jetouts, data validation, etc. It is always possible to update it with new functions and extend it to a complete tracking solution.
The tracking system monitors ongoing prodcution in terms of completeness and accuracy.
The web de-dusting module PEM removes the dust from the paper webs. The PEM has two de-dusting heads for cleaning both sides of the paper web in continuous operation.
The dynamic perforating module DP8 can be used to create variable longitudinal and cross perforations.
The web merger WM8 can be used for cutting a wide paper web in longitudinal direction and for putting the two web halves together. Edge trim left and right available.
The combination of longitudinal and cross cut-out (module CS8) allows the user to produce full-bleed products.
The Bypass unit allows quick and easy diverting of the output to the inline saddle-stitching system or to the conveyor belt for stacked book blocks.
Up to 30″ sheet stacks with the LS8-30 Stacker. Also compatible with sheet overpass.
