ClearVision quality assurance systems represent the pin- nacle of vision-based inspection. ClearVision products include PrintChek, full sheet inspection detects printing defects down to 2mm; GapChek, which identifies out-of- spec gaps and fishtailing that occurs at the manufacturer’s gap; and GlueChek, which analyzes every glue tab to ver- ify proper glue placement, volume, and presence. Beyond these core offerings, we provide vision inspection solu- tions for every step of the Flexo Folder Gluer production process, including ScoreChek for corrugator score inspec- tion, FoldChek for fold quality monitoring, BundleChek for bundle ejection, and CodeChek for barcode validation. For glue station control and quality assurance sensors, the OneView system simplifies control for flexo-folder-gluers. “For the folding carton industry, Valco Melton offers high-speed gluing and inspection equipment. The Clear- Vision CartonChek platform provides real-time compre- hensive inspection capabilities tailored to folding carton production. GlueChek for folding carton applications en- sures glue application and carton folds meet specifica- tions on every carton, detecting issues such as missing glue, incorrect volume, improper positioning, and missed folds. CodeChek monitors both color and black-and-white barcodes, identifying mixed copy, missing color, color density issues, and registration problems. WindowChek addresses a critical quality concern by detecting missing, misaligned, or contaminated plastic windows while ensur- ing proper volume and placement of the adhesive. “One of our most innovative solutions for the fold- ing carton market is the AutoWheel, a complete drop-in replacement for traditional glue wheels that eliminates recurring cleaning downtime, daily glue disposal, manu- al refilling operations, and glue slinging at any machine speed. Featuring an all-electric high-speed precision glue valve the AutoWheel increases machine availability for production while reducing adhesive usage and eliminat- ing pot-related maintenance. “As we move into 2026, Valco Melton remains dedi- cated to helping corrugated and folding carton manufac- turers achieve high quality production. We guarantee that every product you ship meets your customers’ exacting standards.” Visit: www.valcomelton.com .
