Print Inspection System EOK PQ

Camera Inspection System for print quality check and optical character recognition.

The EOK-PQ consists of a colour camera, an industry-standard PC with colour monitor and lighting devices as well as powerful software. During reflected illumination, white light is shown on the foil to be inspected. The temperature-compensated LED reflected illumination lights the foil evenly but not glaringly. The colour camera takes hold of the picture which is then evaluated in the PC. The color camera is synchronized by a signal from the machine. The lens to be used each time depends on the maximum foil width and the distance between the cups. The picture taken by the camera is displayed on a colour monitor. This monitor guides the user in entering the size parameters and choosing the optimum lighting and camera settings.

The software package features a very high rate of evaluation and is easy to operate under the Windows interface. The package layout and colour information can be entered at the „teach-in“ stage. A menu guides the user in entering parameters such as tolerances. All parameters for a specific format are stored in the PC. Entries are made by using the mouse and on-screen keyboard.
