CR25-CR26
The CR25 register control system has been developed using advanced electronic technologies, such as high-speed matrix video cameras, specially made for the purpose. These have made it possible to enormously reduce the space occupied by the register marks (micromarks) for automatic control of circumferential and lateral color register on web-offset presses in commercial and newspaper printing.
CR26
The cameras can be positioned, on request, between the last printing unit and the drier, in order to ensure immediate response to variations in register and thus further reduce the number of waste copies. The cameras read the marks on free paper, unsupported by a roller, with a tolerance of oscillations in the web of ± 7 mm.

COLORSCAN
The COLORSCAN system measures the optical density and L*a*b* values of the colors on live production in ‘real time’, analyzing each sector across the web by means of a mobile camera placed after the last printing unit.
The system automatically adjusts and maintains the color values by acting on the ink keys and eventually on the inking roller speed.

PM3
Modern wide presses and high production speeds require more efficient and reliable systems to detect paper defects and to identify reasons for web breaks. The PM3 system provides a control of the paper from the reel-stand to the press delivery, to continuously check the paper quality and allow the operator to distinguish web breaks due to the web quality from those due to press settings.

LYNEX
In roll-to-roll packaging printing the demand for defect free product and tight regulations obligate printers to equip their presses with systems that can guarantee a total quality control. This avoids embarrassing situations with your customers that can result in costly reprints or monetary credits. LYNEX is a 100% print inspection developed by Grafikontrol to assure the total quality control during the printing process. The continuous inspection of the entire print repeat, with programmable sensitivities, allows the automatic detection of all print or substrate defects and a real time evaluation of the production. The immediate warning, when a flaw is detected, guarantees the elimination of defective material which optimizes your process and avoids claims. The modular architecture, combined with powerful hardware and dedicated algorithms for image processing, make the LYNEX a flexible and easy to use instrument for inspection on gravure, flexo and offset presses. It is possible to set quality standards based on customer needs and specifications. LYNEX can operate as stand-alone module in multiple processes, as a print or substrate inspection device, or in combination with the MATRIX.

CR33-CR34
The CR33 - CR34 register control systems guarantee the highest accuracy and reduction of waste during all phases of production: make-readies, acceleration, and splices for both mechanical and e-shaft presses. The superior electronic technologies and dedicated software algorithms guarantee steady register between the colors for the entire press run resulting in maximum operator and press efficiency. CR33 and CR34 can be easily adapted to different printing processes (gravure, flexo or offset). It can function on all registered printing units or as single control for a downstream station. The systems are designed to fit on new or existing presses and are adapted for in-line or tandem configuration presses. The fiber optics scanners are specially designed using high sensitivity RGB sensors which automatically adapt the amplification to detect very low contrast colors on any kind of substrate.

PROGREX
The inspection of a wide web cannot be done only with scanning or 100% cameras. Press operators need a tool that combines line scan cameras (LYNEX) and area camera (MATRIX) to guarantee total quality control and to fully satisfiy the customer request for complete process control.
• Full integration of the LYNEX 100% inspection, the MATRIX area cameras and other features are all managed by a single operator interface
• Intuitive multi-touch screen gives quick and easy access to all components and functions
• The area camera and the 100% inspection work independently: the full web inspection is not compromised when press operator uses the area camera for viewing fine print details
• The Touch&View function moves the area camera to a desired position simply by touching a point on the print repeat display screen

About us
Company details
The great experience in the different printing sectors and the continuous cooperation with world wide manufacturers and printers lead us to supply reliable and quality products, able to drastically reduce wastes and press downtimes.
This defect-free production also thank to TQC-360°, the newest modular platform for Grafikontrol’s products. It has been developed to give printers a complete solution for quality assurance. With the TQC-360° concept, Grafikontrol offers a full range of quality control to the printing and converting industry through production, application, and processes and services. Our “all around” approach to the customer combines high performing products and excellent service.
The TQC-360° products integrate into any web application. Customers benefit from the modular design which allows them to start with the features they need and upgrade at any time.
The components that make up the TQC-360° line can satisfy any customer need. They can operate separately or together through a single operator interface if desired. Tailor made solutions can be designed to fit non-standard applications.
