Autoprint launched its carton inspection machine – Checkmate 25 at Pamex 2020 held between 6 and 9 January 2020 at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai. A smaller version of its highly successful model Checkmate 50, the new launch is aimed at the pharma industry.

“After a research, we found that in the pharma industry, carton widths are within 250 mm. Checkmate 25 is ideal for inspecting carton sizes ranging between 250 x 300 mm and 100 x 100 mm, running at speeds up to 250 m/min,” explained CN Ashok, managing director of Autoprint.

Ashok shared that the company has so far installed 40 Checkmate 50 inspection machines, of which 35 are installed in India while 5 in Malaysia.

Checkmate 25 is a compact inspection machine and comes with modern cutting-edge technology to detect even the minutest printing defects such as smudges, spots, scratches, uneven ink, color variation, foil stamping variation, hazing, etc. The machine segregates the good and defective sheets neatly into different stacks which can be further analyzed to correct the previous process. The inspection machine also eliminates expensive manual labor while enhancing the checking speed and process.

Autoprint will next exhibit at PrintPack 2021, Greater Noida, India where it will launch the Autoprint Fine Coat 140 Drip Off, an offline sheetfed flexo rotary automatic UV and aqueous coater with UV and IR dryer, said Ashok.
