TIR and Scanner Benefits
Description
The Heaford range of TIR and Surface Scanners provides customers with a vital tool for ensuring consistent print quality. They accurately measure and assess the condition of plate sleeves, identifying any wear, damage, or deformities that could compromise print outcomes. By providing a detailed contour map of the sleeve’s surface and tracking historical data, these scanners enable quick identification of defects, prediction of sleeve lifespan, and reduced production costs and downtime.
Specifications
Data Storage: Information such as sleeve identification, date of scan, and scan results are stored in the database.
Historical Analysis: Users can view a sleeve’s scan data history graphically, with projections indicating the theoretical remaining production life based on past usage.
Repeatability: 12 microns.
Laser Type: 2D/3D laser.
Measurement Accuracy: +/- 25 microns.
Scanning Width: Ranges from 40mm to 100mm.
Scan Duration: Approximately 2 minutes per sleeve.
Contour Analysis: Generates a detailed contour map of the sleeve’s surface.
Compatibility: Suitable for Bare polymer sleeves, excluding Twinlock.
Options
The system scans the sleeve in widths from 40mm to 100mm and generates a contour map of the sleeve’s surface
enabling the identification of high and low spots, cutting damage etc..
An axial plot view is also available that indicates the profile for any given band along the sleeve length. The system can be tailored to suit the customers’ needs, from a quick pass of several bands to a full in-depth surface scan.
An average sleeve scans takes approximately 2 minutes.
