In print finishing, small details often make the difference. A faulty sheet in the book block or brochure can turn a clean print run into expensive spoilage. In such cases, however, the damage often extends beyond the mere material value or diminishing margins: every error means a loss of trust and, in the worst case, can even lead to the loss of important customers.<\/p>\n

Therefore, more and more printing companies are asking themselves: Can faulty sheets in saddle stitchers and perfect binders be automatically detected? Can an incorrect sequence of folded sheets in the book block or brochures be systematically ruled out? The answer to both questions is yes. Our retrofitting of a “PPL Eagle” camera system<\/a> for Nunnenmann GmbH<\/a> shows how this is achieved in practice \u2013 but more on that later.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Low setup effort thanks to fast, automated processes<\/h2>\n

The importance of camera systems in print finishing is still underestimated. Yet, everyone makes mistakes, especially in a production environment where decisions often have to be made under time pressure. Our camera system acts as an additional safety net: continuous optical control<\/strong> enables companies and their employees to detect errors before they become costly. The reason why some printing companies are still skeptical about retrofitting is simple: they fear high setup efforts. However, this argument can be easily refuted: we have established fast, automated teach-in processes<\/strong>, and different areas on the sheets can be set up separately. This shortens the time until production starts.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

What our industrial “PPL Eagle” camera system offers<\/h2>\n

“PPL Eagle”<\/a> is an in-house development by PostPrintLeipzig. We have already exhibited the system, specifically designed for perfect binders, gathering machines (ZTM), and saddle stitchers, at international trade fairs such as DRUPA, and it is already in use by more than 10 customers, including in the highly competitive US market.<\/p>\n
