Barcode Check
Benefits
- Continuous in-line verification of barcodes prevents fines, reduces waste and insures that you always deliver converted products that meet your customers standards.
- The intuitive user interface makes setting up of new jobs fast and easy.
- Automatic location of all bar code positions on the repeat.
- Grading of barcode quality done entirely in compliance with internationally recognized standards.
- Real time “Histogram“ displays the last 100 barcode readings at the touch of a single icon.
- User defined warning and alarm thresholds can be set for the overall quality grade as well as individual criteria.
- In the Error History the last 18 defect positions incl. time information (time at which the defect has occurred) are stored. This means an effective valuation of the quality printed at a glance.
In-line Barcode Quality Inspection
Printing of perfect bar codes is an absolute requirement today for suppliers of package goods.
On press, bar code quality can change dramatically in a very short period of time. Unless bar codes are being continuously monitored on press, this occurs without the operators’ knowledge. This often results in substantial fines, not to mention lost customers.
Super Easy To Use
Programming of bar codes is done quickly and easily.
The system locates all bar code positions on the repeat automatically. Settings like selection of a suitable zoom level are adjusted automatically as well.
Alternatively, you can set up bar code positions manually, e.g. if you want to inspect only single bar codes on the repeat.
All parameters and settings are saved and thus can always be called up again. This reduces set up times to a minimum.
Grading to ISO and ANSI standards
The barcode quality is checked and graded in accordance with international standards.
The analysis algorithm evaluates all criteria defined in the standards and also checks for bar growth. The system then assigns a grade to each individual criteria. The overall grade
(in accordance with ISO and ANSIspecifications) is equal to the lowest grade of any one criteria.
Histogram display of inspection results
The inspection results (coded text, barcode type, quality grade) are displayed on the touch screen and the inspection monitor separately. In addition, the previous 100 inspections are graphically displayed, allowing the operator to immediately recognize trends.
Automatic Monitoring of Barcode Print Quality
The PREMIUS digital 3Chip software option Barcode Check is a powerful tool for monitoring bar code quality on press at full speed, with very little effort. It will allow you to ship finished products to your customers with confidence in the bar code quality.
Reads & Verifies Commonly Used Barcodes
The Barcode Check software optionautomatically identifies the type of bar code and its orientation on the web. The system can read the following static bar code symbologies:
- EAN-13
- EAN-8
- UPC-A
- UPC-E
- Interleaved 2 of 5
- Industrial (straight) 2 of 5
- IATA 2 of 5
- Code 39
- Code 128
- Pharmacode
- Data Matrix Code ECC200
Further bar code types available on request.
User defined warning and alarm thresholds
User-defined warning and alarm thresholds can be set for the overall quality grade as well as individual criteria.
Whenever bar code quality falls below the defined quality thresholds, the system displays a warning or alarm message and triggers an alarm.
