The new version, DecoSTAR EVO, offers improved inspection performance for offset printing and enables inspection of digitally decorated tin and aluminum foils for packaging applications such as food cans, decorative boxes or oil cans.
DecoSTAR EVO not only features an advanced defect classifier for quick and easy setup and commissioning, as well as a modern and intuitive graphical user interface, but is also equipped with the company’s latest high-performance lighting and camera technology.
An integrated interface with the optional EPROMI production management intelligence tool completes the package.
High quality at high production speed: these are the requirements for the cost-effective production of printed metal foils for packaging applications.
The DecoSTAR inline inspection system from ISRA VISION enables reliable quality control when decorating steel or aluminum foils and has been used in the industry for many years.
The flexible system is suitable for both tin foil and aluminum foil, as well as for high gloss or matte motifs on any type of machine.
Thanks to highly efficient LED illumination and a high-resolution, state-of-the-art camera, the system can reliably detect typical defects such as color deviations, dots, scratches, streaks or edge and material defects.
It also provides high-quality defect data that helps eliminate serial defects and reduce scrap.
New in DecoSTAR EVO is support for digital printing.
The system detects relevant defects such as splashes, streaks and smudges caused by clogged nozzles on digitally printed metal sheets.
ISRA VISION thus combines offset and digital print inspection in a single system, offering its customers greater application flexibility.
Another new feature is the self-learning defect classifier, already familiar from the company’s other inline inspection solutions.
It allows you to define customized guidelines and tolerances for each print job in order to distinguish between ‘relevant’ and ‘non-relevant’ defects.
To do this, precise details of the defects to be detected, as well as limit values, are entered into the defect classifier in a job-specific profile.
Accordingly, defective prints are automatically separated or the operator receives an alarm to intervene in the printing process as necessary.
Non-relevant defects are recorded and can be found in the inspection report with accurate position information.
This helps to avoid waste, increase the saleable quantity and reduce costs.
Thanks to state-of-the-art LED illumination technology and a high-resolution camera, DecoSTAR EVO is capable of detecting 50 µm defects.
In addition, the revised and modern graphical user interface ensures intuitive and easy operation.
The newly integrated EPROMI interface allows connection to the optional ISRA VISION Production Management Intelligence tool.
This makes it possible to link and comprehensively analyze the extensively recorded data on the inspection system and production.
Based on these evaluations, appropriate measures can be derived that contribute to the improvement of processes and results.
