Valco Melton’s ClearVision Systems Help Deliver Zero-Defect Quality As customer demands for flawless packaging continue to rise, Cincinnati, Ohio based Valco Melton’s advanced inspection solutions help provide a competitive edge for manufacturers striving to meet these expectations. As a global leader in gluing and quality inspection solutions for the packaging, board, and paper converting industries, we design cutting edge camera inspection systems to help corrugated box manufacturers achieve superior, zero-de- fect quality. Corrugated manufacturers are facing increased pres- sure to deliver flawless products. From glue application issues to print quality concerns, consistency and perfec- tion is crucial. Valco Melton’s ClearVision camera-based inspection systems offer precise, real-time detection of defects, providing manufacturers with the tools needed to produce defect-free corrugated boxes every time. GlueChek inspects glue patterns in real-time, identify- ing any irregularities and alerting operators instantly. This quick feedback loop prevents faulty boxes from reaching customers, reduces returns, and ensures consistent prod- uct quality. With photo capture of defects, GlueChek not only improves customer satisfaction and product trace- ability but also helps with operator training and quality control. Because these images show the precise issue,
rather than an interpretation of data from a sensor, opera- tors can quickly identify the root cause and make neces- sary adjustments. Key benefits include immediate defect detection; pho- to capture for quality analysis, and strengthened operator confidence and customer satisfaction. GapChek offers precise measurement of corrugat- ed box gaps, utilizing camera-based systems to assess bundle integrity and highlight any defects. Its advanced features, such as automatic exposure adjustments and optional bundle ejection, ensure only defect-free boxes reach the customer. This learning-based system supports all flute sizes, as well as up-fold and down-fold machines. Key benefits include: • Automatic adjustment based on order data • Live SPC charts for gaps and skew measurements • Real-time defect identification and optional bundle ejection • Database storage for quality trend analysis • Provides CP and CPK values For customers prioritizing branding and print integrity, PrintChek offers comprehensive defect detection by scan- ning the entire width of each sheet before it is die-cut into multiple parts. Because a single sheet can produce multi- ple finished boxes, any printing defect can affect an entire batch rather than just one box. PrintChek inspects defects such as missing print, color mismatches, and smearing, en- CONTINUED ON PAGE 24
