Sharper Jaws for the `Shark`
BST Announces New Enhancements

BST, world leaders in on-line inspection systems, have announced a number of enhancements to their well-known Shark 100% inspection system.
Shark was designed for use on a re-winder or narrow web press, and will perform 100% inspection of webs up to 20” width, effectively identify missing print, reverse type fill-in, splash, spots, mis-register, hickeys, dirty print, web creases, haze, scrumming, smudges, streaks, hairs, die-cut variations and incorrect matrix removal.

The enhancements to Shark include a PDF inspection that connects 100% inspection on the Shark to the pre-press PDF file, linking the integrity of what is actually printed with the customer approved proof. It also includes a Work flow management that provides an easily implemented systematic approach to identification, marking, and removal of waste on press and/or on re-winders and to linking of various machines in the process.

The Multiple camera options are the new enrichment. The Shark now offers a choice of colour or black & white line scan cameras, to maximise performance and to identify smaller defects at higher speeds. Also, the PowerScope links the Shark system with a visual inspection system, with controls for both integrated into the Shark touch screen. This provides 100% inspection and identified defects are automatically highlighted using the magnification and visual capabilities of the PowerScope.

The above options can be integrated to any BST SHARK in future and will be on display at the India Converting Show 2007.
