The mRC-3D system will ensure full automation on the colour register of their Manugraph Cityline press with five towers.

“Pudhari Publications is a growing newspaper group for the Marathi language and under the leadership of their managing director, Yogesh Jadhav, they have been constantly looking to stay ahead of their competition and this investment with us for quality automation is one of them,” said Vijay Pandya managing director for QIPC in India.

The mRC-3D system is aimed at fully automating the colour register on the presses.

According to QIPC, The system with its high-speed cameras will bring about maximum savings in waste and utilising the digital cameras with built-in microprocessors ensure real-time data processing of measurement data.

The solution also includes mRC-3D scanner, which would be able to accurately measure printed micro marks, independently of focal distance and irregularities in the paper web.

The company also stated that the cameras will be equipped with Automation Ink Mist Shield (AIMS), as a result of which the camera lenses can be automatically cleaned by transported film.

“With the help of all these systems, Pudhari Publications expects to make savings in paper, ink and energy, to improve the quality of the final product, to speed up the production process and to ramp up productivity in the plant,” said Pandya.

“If the system proves its worth here, there is a distinct possibility it will be installed on the other presses”, concludes Pandya.
