Beta Industries
The Betaflex Pro from Beta Industries (www.betascreen.com) is an analysis solution for flexo printing that includes software and hardware designed to assess small highlight dots and advanced surface treatments. According to the company, Betaflex Pro’s 3D Dot Structure Imaging, operating at 22,000 pixels/in., delivers numerical analysis and visual confirmation of these small halftone dots in such a way that operators are no longer left guessing or making subjective judgments. Beta Industries explains that 2D imaging of the full tonal range occurs at 14,000 pixels/in., yielding precise and repeatable measurements from 50- to 200-line/in. conventional and FM screens. Production samples are imaged with a topographical visualization and comparison function, in addition to a numerical readout. The system generates pass, warning, or fail indicators to guide the operator in accepting or rejecting plates.
