Gap Measuring Device

  • Machine vision system for automatic evaluation of the manufacturer’s joint in the corrugated board industry.
  • 100 % control of your flexo folder gluer production on gap variation and fish tailing. Instant error detection.
  • Reduces complaints and increases customer satisfaction and loyalty.
  • Can be installed in flexo folder gluer of almost every manufacturer.

Vistron Gap Measuring Device is designed for upgrading flexo folder gluer in the field and performs a fully automatic check of the manufacturer’s joint of the corrugated boxes, at full production speed. The system consists of an industrial laser, a high-resolution industrial camera, a processor unit with software and furthermore a touchscreen monitor for image output and for the operation of the system. Using the Gap Measuring Device system, a 100 % check of the manufacturer’s joint is being performed at machine speed. The determined gap width of front and rear gap as well as the value for the “Fish-Tailing” are being presented on the monitor and in case of deviations outside of adjustable limits, a marking device is triggered, or even an automatic ejection of the faulty box takes place, depending on the technical capabilities of the converting machine.

The 100 % check of the Gap Measuring Device evaluates

  • the width of the leading-edge gap
  • the width of the trailing-edge gap
  • the “Fish-Tailing” of the manufacturer’s joint.

Furthermore, statistical representation of the measured values allows conclusions to be drawn about the folding process of your machine and shows optimization potential.

Design and installation of the Gap Measuring Device system is specific to the individual flexo folder gluer. A list of machines which we have already upgraded with a Gap Measuring Device system can be provided upon request. The setup of orders and the operation of the system is conveniently done via a touchscreen monitor. Detected deviations from target values are clearly displayed on the monitor. For each job, a detailed report is generated, which can be used for process optimization purposes. In addition to checks of the ongoing production, you can optimize your processes, increase your product quality, lower your production costs and increase customer satisfaction and customer loyalty.

The Vistron Gap Measuring Device checks 100 % of the production of your flexo folder gluer, reliably and fatigue-free. Via an error indication unit, a marking system or a fully automatic box ejection system can be triggered, so that your customers receive only perfecly folded boxes. Also the machine can be stopped after an (adjustable) number of subsequent poor boxes, avoiding waste.

  • 100 % check of the folding quality of your products
  • Retrofittable to flexo folder gluer of almost every width and manufacturer
  • User friendly operation, by means of a touchscreen
  • Simple creation of new jobs
  • No manual checks required anymore
  • Detailed report, with statistical process data
  • Reduction of customer complaints and increase of customer satisfaction
  • Short Return on Invest, typically in less than one year
