Baumer hhs says its Xcam Box Monitoring offers "every possibility for automated quality assurance" in the production of corrugated boxes with inliners on flexo folder gluers (FFG).
Xcam Box Monitoring detects register inaccuracies of the individual inks in the printed image, wrongly cut or missing slots, skew sheets, faulty flap gluing or gaps deviating from the reference sizes. The individual modules of the system cause automatic marking of all imperfect boxes, so that they can be ejected from the production workflow, and log all measuring results.
The data can be retrieved for analysis, making it possible to adapt the production process if necessary. In addition, the measuring results can be sent to the customer's process data acquisition system in the form of PDF or XML files. In this way, Xcam Box Monitoring can be seamlessly integrated in the process chains of the buyers of corrugated boxes.
"In inline corrugated board processing, our Xcam Box Monitoring systems can be combined with our non-contact flap gluing, including integrated quality control, to create an end-to-end basis for zero-defect production," concludes Thomas Fischer-Moore, corrugated board manager at Baumer hhs.
