Web inspection system for Guangzhou Paper Co


Chinese paper maker Guangzhou Paper Co has installed a web inspection system from ISRA Vision on its PM1 machine to enable it to guarantee its customers high quality while ensuring the highest possible efficiency. The paper making line, with


a web width of 4,800mm, produces newspaper and fine paper that weigh between 45


and 70 g/m² at a web speed of 1,600 m/min. Guangzhou Paper, which specializes in the manufacturing and global export of a variety of different paper products, specified a Paper Master inspection system from ISRA with five cameras that support the maximum resolution and ensure the highest processing speeds. The


inspection of surfaces is conducted with high-power LED lamps that enable the identification quality defects 100 per cent of the time, along with categorizing them. ISRA says: “The classifier


teaching makes use of a similarity filter, making online inspection 1,000 times faster than that offered by any other system.”
