Valco Melton Introduces Real-Time Quality Inspection For Die-Cutters Cincinnati, Ohio based Valco Melton, a global leader in adhesive application and quality inspection systems for the corrugated industry, has announced the launch of DieCutChek, a real-time vision inspection system de- signed specifically for die-cutters and flexo-folder-gluers. The new system extends Valco Melton’s proven Clear- Vision technology upstream in the production process, en- abling corrugated manufacturers to detect quality defects at the die-cutting stage. DieCutChek automatically inspects every die-cut sheet in real-time at speeds up to 300m/min (980ft/min). The system verifies final sheet dimensions, inspects die-cut shapes for missing or partial cuts, detects loose scrap on
sheets, and measures sheet rotation. With 0.5mm resolu- tion, DieCutChek can identify defects as small as 3.0mm in diameter. The system uses multiple high-resolution line-scan Mounts over existing conveyor on die-cutters and FFGs.
cameras with integrated LED lighting mount- ed over the stacker conveyor. Advanced algorithms analyze each sheet as it pass- es through the inspection zone, comparing measurements against job specifications. Defects are instantly flagged on the intuitive ClearVision touchscreen interface, enabling them to be removed from the production stream and aiding in troubleshooting. DieCutChek features real-time sheet size Statistical Process Control (SPC) mon- itoring that continuously tracks dimension- al process data and calculates Cp and Cpk values. Automated trend-based alarming alerts operators to process drift before de- fects occur, while email escalation notifies management of quality issues requiring at- tention. All inspection data is stored for complete traceability, supporting quality reporting and analysis. DieCutChek data can be mon- itored through MeasurementChek and My- SystemChek for comprehensive production visibility. By identifying defects at the die-cut- ting stage, DieCutChek enables operators to make immediate process adjustments, preventing the production of out-of-spec sheets and reducing waste. Optional inte- gration with UV marking and bundle ejec- tion systems enables automated removal of defective sheets from the production stream. DieCutChek gives corrugated manu- facturers the confidence that only quality sheets are leaving their facility, protecting customer relationships and reducing cost- ly returns. DieCutChek is available now through Valco Melton’s global network of representatives.
