Anilox inspection system targets quality

6 July 2009


The AniCam camera based measurement tool for anilox rolls used on narrow and wide web and corrugated flexo presses Is now available from Troika Systems in two versions: AniCam-P for flexo print producers and AniCAM-M for anilox roll manufacturers.

New features on the AniCAM-M include the ability to read more complex engravings such as trihelical, emerald and HVP, as well as Press-O-Film aluminium foil cell profiling materials.

“Perhaps the most significant enhancement for manufacturers, however, is our ability to be compatible with their current system of measurement,” states roika MD Phil Hall. “As the number of anilox manufacturers grew over time, each adopted the method of measurement they knew best and could afford. Consequently there is often a large difference in ink released from rolls from different manufacturers, despite the rolls being marked up as having the same volume.

“Our solution is to calibrate the AniCAM-M to translate readings to any manufacturer’s standard. This means that roll suppliers can either translate AniCAM readings to their own internal system, or use our standard readings.”

Whilst the AniCAM-P will be targeted initially at the flexo printing sector, Troika believes many offset printers may also find a need for it. The majority of high performance coating units on offset presses are based on a flexo printing system; and a number of recent press introductions incorporate anilox rollers within their inking system.
