The new installation follows investment in a AB Graphic Auto Set Vectra SGTR glueless turret rewinder in February 2018.
Baker Labels said that the new inspection unit will be particularly advantageous when the Vectra runs in-line with the Nilpeter FB-3, as jobs are not required to go through the Omega SRI Rewinder with fully integrated FleyeVision.
The firm currently uses the HSR330 Rewinder and the Omega SRI Rewinder for label converting and finishing with rewinding speeds of up to 350m/min.
The SRI range features the latest servo drive technology combined with PC/SPS based control.
Designed for larger runs and for complex multi-layer, multi pass constructions, the Nilpeter FB-3 press features a rail system comprising De-Lam/Re-Lam, turner bar, 4 towers for over-laminating substrates and a crossover unit.
The press is also equipped with a servo re-insertion unit with web guide and a corona plus a rotary screen unit for embellishments, fluorescents etc.
The press’ dual axis servo transport system ensures continuous deliver the highest level of print reproduction as well as unparalleled registration performance, the firm said.
Baker Labels said in a statement: “Using Helios software, powerful LED lights, camera and touch screen display, the additional AVT Inspection Unit will trigger an alarm and stop the press if it registers a variation from the master label such as movement or colour variation.
“This allows operators to correct any problems early therefor reducing waste and improving efficiency.”
