BETAFOLD CREASE and FOLD ANALYZERS

The BetaFold Crease & Fold Analyzer for the analysis and correction of folds/creases in production for the folding carton industry for high end folding products such as perfume, confections, cosmetic, cigarette boxes, and all other folding carton types were "getting it right" is primary to appearance and profitability.

The BetaFold Crease & Fold Analyzer is designed to bring the advantages of quality control to the creasing and folding portion of the folding carton industry.

The device is uniquely suited to both in-depth analysis of the many variables that affect the finished product by skilled managers and QC staff , as well as quick grab-samples by low-skill production workers.

The new high resolution BetaFold system is portable and easy to use.

Data and images are easily captured and printed with the integral report generator and statistical analyzer.

The system maintains a database of job setup parameters and production samples. All of this is combined with the high precision, ease of use, and Beta product support that has made the Beta name the standard of the industry in flexographic analyzers.

• Measure crease and channel width, depth, angles, and symmetry
• Save images and data with a single click
• Display, save, and print data for complete control

CREASING breaks fiber bonds between plies, allowing controlled delamination and creating a hinge

• MEASURE Bead crease, folding angle
• VERIFY Bead height, width, symmetry, fold points
• DOCUMENT crease images and data, generate reports and statistics
• IMAGE and ANALYZE bead dimensions
• CREATE Production reports with images and statistics
• DETECT changes in die penetration due to knife wear

CONTROL

• Faster creasing makeready
• Minimize cracks and splitting
• Reduce running defects and waste
• Improve package performance and profits

ANALYSIS

• Measure sample vs production crease parameters
• Detect ink and coating effects on folds
• Verify proper drying and environmental conditions
• Track die performance vs time and operator

The ADVANCED software option adds extensive customization options to the dieline diagram, reporting, and data collection functions. Generic box diagrams are replaced with the actual die diagram, greatly improving the production workers understanding of the areas to be tested, etc. Networked data collection is also implemented, allowing data to be checked across different production locations.
