100% Quality Assurance for Metal Sheet Decoration

A robust and reliable automatic 100% quality assurance solution exclusively for the metal sheet decoration industry. Titan visually inspects metal sheets, automatically and efficiently detecting imperfections in real-time.

Titan is connected to your print production workflow, capable of triggering ejectors, marketing devices or Kickers in order to automatically mark/eject defective sheets. The system is also capable of connecting to the press’s feeder to stop printing if a process defect becomes severe.

The system can be easily installed on any printing line to achieve online quality assurance and process control.

The Titan system significantly decreases production time, automates manual processes, and provides valuable waste savings. Backed by AVT’s pioneering technologies, Titan helps boost online process control and ensure unmatched quality assurance throughout the entire print process.

Titan raises the bar on in-line quality assurance by providing high resolution and performance at any given sheet width and press speeds.

Benefits

  • Boosts Productivity

    Titan ensures consistent print quality on every job, significantly increasing overall press productivity. Users benefit from fast ROI and save valuable time and resources with exceptional fast and easy press set-up and deployment. In turn, customers benefit greatly by reducing waste, resources and production costs, while preventing customer rejections.

  • Unmatched Print Quality

    Titan delivers 100% quality assurance and print process control, with full support of all metal sheet printing lines and applications. The system detects and alerts on a wide variety of print defects, visually indicating the precise location and type of each defect, ejecting them or marking them for further analysis, archiving and reporting, to achieve 100% quality on every print job.

  • Innovative Print Inspection Process

    Fully-automated, Titan inspection process provides an intuitive user interface, equipped with an easy-to-use online guide, minimizing job set-up time, and detecting critical defects in real time. The system categorizes defects according to defect type, with easy on-screen view, and indicates the precise defect location on the full repeat image.

  • Regions of Interest (ROI) and “step and repeat” setup

    All required setup can be done on one package/unit and automatically set to “step and repeat” on all other packages/units. The system enables setting different sensitivities/profiles to different regions in the package, for enhanced detection in key areas, or to reduce sensitivities in less critical areas.

  • Good sheets counter

    Built-in, on-line monitoring of “good to ship” sheets, ensures sufficient good amount of sheets are printed prior to the next job change.

  • Quick Set

    Fast, automatic “zero set-up” time for repeating jobs.

  • Inspection Profiles

    Fast, easy generation for seamless set-up and improved control of quality standards.

How it works

Titan detects a variety of print defects, including hickeys, spots, splashes, scumming, scratches, miss-prints, color variations, miss-registrations, varnish miss-registrations, sheet to print alignment, text defects, bends, sheet damages and more.

A colored alarm light tower alerts the operator immediately when a defect is detected, according to pre-defined quality thresholds. The system visually indicates the position and the nature of all detected defects on screen. The operator can then address the problem and correct the relevant defect.

Titan is connected to your print production workflow, capable of triggering ejectors, marketing devices or Kickers in order to automatically mark/eject defective sheets. The system is also capable of connecting to the press’s feeder to stop printing if a process defect becomes severe.

Workflow, Archiving & Reporting

Equipped with a built-in PrintFlow module, the system automatically stores all job data in job archiving for fast setup in the case of reprints, while detection data is logged into the system’s stack and job reporting, including defect location, defect images, and print quality statistics. Operators use in-line reporting to review job/order/stack reports, edit and export final reports to digital files. The system’s PrintFlow Manager collects relevant PrintFlow data from multiple systems, so that managers and key personnel can easily monitor, analyze and control production quality from their desktop PCs.
