BST has introduced the TubeScan digital strobe twinhead, a compact and cost-effective solution designed to make double-sided 100% inspection of printed webs faster and easier than ever before. By combining two camera units into one system, TubeScan twinhead allows for simultaneous front and back inspection, avoiding complexity and high costs that previously made this task challenging.

Comprehensive quality control across various applications

Pharma package inserts and booklets: The TubeScan twinhead provides quick and accurate quality control by inspecting both sides of printed webs at the same time. This ensures that imperfections are caught in real-time, giving you peace of mind about the quality of your products.

Register checks in label printing: For labels that feature registration marks or numbers on the back, the TubeScan twinhead ensures that double-sided prints are perfectly in register, helping you meet your quality standards consistently.

Clear-on-paper applications: The system verifies the presence of labels on the front while simultaneously checking the registration on the back, providing a thorough inspection for clear-on-paper applications.

TubeScan advantages

Thorough Quality Control is said to be achieved by inspecting both sides of printed webs using a single, integrated system. This compact and cost-effective solution reportedly features a space-saving design that integrates seamlessly into the workflow, all at an attractive price point. It offers customizable solutions, allowing the system to be tailored to meet specific inspection requirements, potentially enhancing efficiency in the production process.

Joachim Barthelme, executive vice president of BST, said, “The TubeScan Digital Strobe twinhead is designed to simplify double-sided inspection, making it more accessible and cost-effective for our customers.”
