as that required by the industry,” according to Kortekamp. This is the second generation of Coating Control
and provides live camera images of the coating as well as an intuitive user interface, says BST. The system detects minimal production defects and takes immediate action to reduce reject rates.
ICE show The company showcased this – and a number of other technologies – at the recent ICE show in Germany – including web guiding, surface inspec- tion, web monitoring, print inspection, register and coating control. “With our high-precision system solutions, we
increase the efficiency and sustainability of all web processing operations,” said Jörg Westphal, executive vice president of the flexible materials business unit. “We know the current challenges of the markets well – and understand our customers’ machines and processes in depth.” At the show, BST presented iPQ-Surface, a surface inspection system for quality assurance in material production. While it was used to inspect transparent and opaque films, it can also be used
for battery cell production or cold seal applications. The iPQ-Surface combines state-of-the-art
camera technology with multiplex lighting to reveal small defects in a compact installation space. Simultaneously, the system can be adapted to the respective application and offers a modular concept for lighting and camera options. As well as coordinated hardware components, it offers an intuitive user interface that is tailored to the user. In addition – for print inspection – BST presented
TubeScan, for quality assurance in material finish- ing. The system enables a cost-effective entry into 100% print image inspection and has many illumination options. Since last year, it has been available for web widths of up to 1,700 mm. The latest development is the reliable inspection of variable data, such as barcodes and QR codes, at web speeds f up to 500m/min, enabling maximum efficiency in label web converting, says BST.
Wide-format bag Dow, in collaboration with machine manufacturers Windmoller & Holscher (W&H) and B&B, has developed a recyclable, wide-format MDO-PE bag – which uses only polyethylene (PE) and a minimal
