AVT’s Helios S Turbo offers 100 percent inspection and advanced workflow options – on the new narrow web HP Indigo 8000 Digital Press, which doubles the speed and productivity of its predecessors. The system provides high resolution, 100 percent inspection at high press speeds, and can be installed at the end of either the press itself or its finishing system. With AVT’s ZeroSet setup feature, users of the AVT systems can setup and auto initiate inspection jobs from the ESKO automation engine.

For QA and process monitoring, Helios S Turbo detects any imperfection, alerting operators at an early stage to maximize product quality and minimize waste. It is equipped with other essential modules for various needs, such as job content verification; DeltaE color monitoring; barcode and variable codes verification; and inspection of all type of substrates, including holographic foils.

With more than 4,500 systems installed worldwide, AVT enters the show as the world’s top automatic inspections solutions provider in the labels and packaging industries.

“With HP Indigo digital presses’ increased productivity, high-quality inspection and automation solutions are a necessity,” said Gershon Alon, global workflow solutions manager, Indigo division, HP. “Our collaboration with AVT provides our customers automatic inspection to reduce waste and increase the quality of the end product, and we are continually innovating with AVT to develop new integrations and workflow solutions that bring our customers additional value.”

The AVT systems on showcase are already installed on HP presses throughout the global printing industry, including customers in Europe, North America and Asia, said Amir Sheinman, VP marketing of AVT.
