WEB INSPECTION
A glass inspection system must distinguish between flawless

risen continuously, especially for highly refined materials, brand owners, and luxury packaging,” says Dr André Schwarz, Marketing and Documentation Director at inspection system firm EyeC. “But, ‘normal’ fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) packaging in the customer sector has also become increasingly high-quality. No compromises can be made, especially for customers working for companies in regulated industries – 100% quality and flawless products are essential.” Staying on top of the game in order
to meet the ever-growing demands of manufacturers requires a combination of integrated intelligence and innovative technology, meaning continuous R&D updates and launching the best products to meet customers’ expectations. In response to customer demands, EyeC
has recently launched a new web print inspection system, the EyeC ProofRunner Wide Web. Using an 8k colour line scan camera, the system offers ultrafast and precise 100% real-time print inspection in wide web applications ranging from 900- 1,700mm. It compares the print image with a print-ready PDF file and automatically inspects texts, graphics, colour deviations, variable data as well as 1D and 2D codes

reliably, providing documentation on the results. Te smart technology embedded in the
ProofRunner Wide Web for labels, leaflets, and flexible packaging automatically detects defective areas, warning the operator in real time in the event of significant deviations. “With ProofRunner Wide Web’s real-time error detection, the operator at the press can immediately detect deviations from the artwork during the printing process, thus avoiding overproduction and misprints,” says Schwarz. Errors that can be identified immediately save expensive consumables and valuable machine time. “Our system prevents entire rolls from being produced incorrectly and directly helps the customer to produce more resource- efficiently and sustainably.”
Bettering battery inspection Improving defect detection is crucial even in the most demanding applications, such as battery manufacturing – which, due to the rapid electrification of the mobility sector, is increasing rapidly – as noted by imaging firm Teledyne Dalsa’s Senior Product Manager Xing-Fei He. He explains that in battery manufacturing, there are certain material types that require
‘Customers’ demands on quality have risen continuously, especially for highly refined materials’
special inspection: “Anode (e.g. carbon) and cathode (lithium metal oxide) are coated on metal foils separately. Tese coated films are important parts of the battery cells and need to be inspected for thickness and related defects before moving into the next steps.” Defects such as thickness variation, blowholes, and particle contamination all need to be identified and prevented to ensure good yield, high product quality and safety. Responding to such demands, Teledyne
Dalsa recently launched AxCIS, a new family of high-speed and high-resolution fully integrated line scan imaging modules. Tese contact image sensors (CIS) combine sensors, lenses, and lights. Tis all-in-one combination offers a lower-cost inspection system for many demanding machine vision applications – including battery inspection. “AxCIS offers a fully integrated, easy-to-
