Inspection workflow QLink at a glance:

 

QLinkPress - on the printing press

  • Editing of the roll protocol database during printing
  • Display of the net count in real-time, taking into account the edited roll protocol of the entire job
  • Selection, editing and transfer of the roll protocols within the network
  • Temporary, local storage of the roll protocols

QLinkEditor - on the PC

  • Processing of all roll protocols on the network
  • Roll protocols can be visualized and edited for further converting

 

 

QLink Rewinder - on the rewinder

  • Processing of all roll protocols in the network
  • Camera-based synchronization and visualization esures bast workflow stability
  • Control of the rewinder
  • Skipping of future defects shown in the roll protocol 
     

QLink Viewer - for customers without workflow

  • enables visualization of all network-stored role protocols
