Fusion Upgrades

Pro-touch Advanced User Interface

Visi-tech’s Pro-touch Advanced User Interface turns your standard Fusion system into an advanced multi-positional programmable system while also increasing user responsiveness by the addition of Visi-tech’s unique One Touch Positioning system.

One Touch Positioning allows users to navigate the camera to any region of the web with a single touch of a dedicated 5.7” touch screen. Simply pointing to the region of interest on the screen sends the camera off to that position, dramatically reducing the time that the operator spends at the camera controls in order to navigate to a particular position. Furthermore, for regions of interest that need to be inspected frequently, the Pro-touch allows storage of up to ten camera positions in memory for instant recall or playback in an automatic sequence. Each of the ten programmable locations not only stores the cameras positional data but also the cameras zoom setting, so one second you can be inspecting a large area of print while the very next you can be checking a register mark at 30x magnification, and all without touching a button. The Pro-touch Advanced User Interface is also able to save a master image at each of the ten stored positions and automatically restore that image as one half of a split screen each time the camera moves back to that position. This advanced feature enables the operator to view the current print at that location directly alongside the saved image, enabling side-by-side relative colour comparison for up to ten regions of interest.

In addition to the advanced positional memory features offered by the Pro-touch, advanced Dynamic Scan operations allow automatic scanning in both longitudinal and lateral directions allowing the user to set up the system for automatic operation exactly the way he wants it.

Back-strobe

The optional Back-strobe illumination consists of a second housed strobe lamp that is positioned behind the web and can provide front to back register viewing on suitable translucent substrates. The Back-strobe has the same effect as that produced when you hold a print sample up to a light or window. If the sample is translucent you will be able to see through the substrate and see the reverse print as well as the front side print. The Back-strobe provides a similar viewing condition and so if your samples pass the window test then the Back-strobe is a low cost option for viewing both sides of your printed web.

Double Camera

All Ultra Fusion products support double camera installations. This type of installation consists of a separate camera and traverse for each side of the web. The cameras are both controlled by the same keypad and viewed on the same monitor. With double cameras, both sides of the web can be viewed with crystal clear clarity at any press speed and with either the back or front camera being viewed separately or both cameras being viewed simultaneously on the same monitor.

UV Strobe

If you print with UV Security inks then you will obviously be aware of the problems associated with viewing this print at high speeds. To overcome this problem Visi-tech are able to offer a special camera with Ultra Violet strobe lighting that will cause your UV inks to fluoresce and be viewed clearly at any press speed. UV strobes can also be combined with normal strobe lighting enabling viewing of both normal and UV security print with the same system.

Multiple Monitors

As standard, all Fusion systems are supplied with a single monitor. However, on larger printing machines it is a distinct advantage to have more than one monitor. By installing multiple monitors on your machine you greatly increase the chances of the operator spotting defects since he is able to see the image of the web from wherever he is on the machine, and that means reduced waste and higher quality.

In addition to multiple monitors, the Fusion is also able to support multiple keypads so your operators will also be able to control the Fusion system from any monitor ensuring that the web is being viewed in the most effective way at any time.

Up to four monitors and keypads can be installed on any Fusion system.

3 Chip Camera

Although all Fusion systems have image quality that is more than sufficient for the most demanding print applications, if you want the ultimate in quality then an upgrade to a 3 Chip camera could be what your looking for.

A 3 Chip camera produces its image using a combination of 3 image sensors instead of the usual one. This provides broadcast quality images with three times as many pixels as a standard camera. Available on selected product versions, the Fusion 3 Chip upgrade option produces web inspection quality to match any on the market.
