What is FlexoCAM?

FlexoCAM was developed for the label, carton, newspaper and corrugated markets where surface inspection and depth measurement, particularly of halftone dots, is needed. It is capable of measuring and analysing film, flexo plate film laminations, translucent and opaque Flexo plates/sleeves and printed copy for quality, dot structures and halftone dot readings. With the Zoom function to vary the magnifi cation for different screen rulings and analysis within the unit, the FlexoCAM isgenuinely a unique product.

Key Benefits

• Accurate dot readings over the full range from highlight to shadow;
• Portable - limited only by cable length;
• Flat plate, cylinder and sleeve inspection;
• Film/LAMs and Printed Copy inspection;
• Non contact around inspection area;
• Auto-focus to eliminate operator analysis error;
• Sighting system for accurate targeting;
• Computer controlled micron stepped optics for
• optimum relief measurement;
• Full colour image on monitor;
• Depth measurement in microns;
• Utilizes the power of a PC to analize the results received via USB.

Automatic and Manual Mode

FlexoCAM can be operated in different modes. If due to certain conditions or plate characteristics the FlexoCAM cannot determine the correct dot sizes or illumination, the user can switch to the manual mode, which allows him to adjust the light and/or defi ne the dots by drawing a red circle around it.

Radial and Coaxial Light Source

The FlexoCAM is equipped with a coaxial light and a three-array radial light source, consisting of 16 LEDs, which can be switched on or off individually or in groups to achieve the optimum illumination of the area to be measured. This is especially useful to measure printed copy and rubber sleeves.

The advent of computer controlled exposure systems has allowed the fl exo market to advance to levels of print quality unknown a decade ago. With these increases in quality, and the development of new and varied plate materials, and with the higher screen rulings for halftone production, the need for greater quality control is essential. The Troika FlexoCAM enables users to ensure their desired level of accuracy and consistency with the plates is achieved and maintained.

Remote Analysis

For further investigations the images taken by the FlexoCAM can be transfered to a remote location (i.e. by Email to your plate supplier). They can be stored in their proprietary .fcp format and contain all measured values needed for a remote evaluation. The remote site only needs the FlexoCAM Remote Analyser software, which is available free of charge.
