New AniCAM/FlexoCAM software revisions and new Plate-II-Print hand held system

Thursday 15. May 2008 - Troikas new hand held Flexo Plate-II-Print is an inexpensive tool for flexographic printers to check both plate quality and print quality quickly and efficiently. This latest introduction completes a trilogy of quality control products designed and manufactured by Troika Systems for the flexographic sector of the printing industry.

It joins the FlexoCAM – a high-quality instrument for checking the fine detail of a flexographic plate – and the AniCAM – a quality control instrument for measuring the volume of cells on anilox cylinders.

“Flexo Plate-II-Print completes the package,” said Troika managing director Phil Hall. “This compact instrument gives the flexographic printer a fast and simple way of checking screen angles, dot size, and screen count. It will mean that the printer can check the critical details of a plate in just a few minutes – even while it is on the press if necessary.”

In addition to the new product Troika shows new functions of the known systems AniCAM and FlexoCAM. The FlexoCAM now contains a 3D profiling module to measure and profile even the smallest dots on a flexo plate or sleeve. The AniCAM is used to check the quality of anilox rolls and allows to measure the cell volume, cell wall width, cell diameter, cell depth and angle. The functionality of both systems FlexoCAM and AniCAM can be combined in one syste
