Designed to drive productivity and virtually remove print production errors, the Digital Inspection Table features digital projection for the proofing of printed sheets and die-cut blanks.
The table is equipped to provide real-time visual representations to match product with digital proofs.
Additionally, the table’s HD projectors allow operators to easily assess the quality standards as it illuminates the product sample with quality control imaging.
Bobst sales and marketing business unit services head Raphaël Indermühle said: “The Digital Inspection Table is at the leading-edge of quality control technology and is another step in the development of digital innovation and services at Bobst.

“This is a game-changing technology and will undoubtedly bring significant added value to our customers.”
The table also allows the projection of a layout file on to the sheet to allow assessment of print registration and adjust as required.
The Digital Inspection Table’s features, including warp analysis, automated quality tracking and performance management also provide a sophisticated methodical system, enabling and promoting higher quality production, the company noted.
