Flexo printing plates and elastomers

Application for flexo printing plates

With the DotScope, you can perform flexo measurements in both 2D and 3D. The 2D measurement is faster, while the 3D measurement provides precise depth information. Both classic flexographic printing plates and directly engraved elastomers can be measured. The high measuring speed and optimised workflow allow the operator to work at high speed.

Examples of flexoplate measurements
1

Dot% value

The DotScope already has for 2D measurement very powerful algorithms for the fully automatic recognition of

printing surfaces, which can also process microstructures without any problems. If there are any measurement problems, you simply switch to the 3D range. The measured 3D model now supports dot percentage determination and can also handle difficult cases.

2

Dot compression simulation

The dot compression simulation can be used to simulate the dot increase due to a certain compression during printing.

This function is also very helpful for directly engraved elastomer printing forms, which often have a certain edge rounding on the dot surfaces. A pure 2D measurement would always determine too small dot% values in such cases.

3

Series measurement for dot% measurements

Highly efficient serial measuring combines many measurements into a single measuring report.

When working with a DotScope mini, this often requires no interaction with the computer during the measurements. The DotScope alone is then used for control, allowing extremely fast operation. This is useful, for example, when measuring colour bars. During a series measurement, you can repeat measurements or switch between 2D and 3D measurements. You can save the series measurement and continue the series measurement later. The measured values are also saved as a CSV file and can then be further processed in Excel, for example.

4

MicroCell analysis

The MicroCell analysis enables the measurement of the diagonals and the depth measurement of the MicroCells.
5

Screen and screen angle

For both 2D and 3D measurement, the screen and screen angle are determined automatically.
6

Profile depth

During the 3D measurement, the relief depth is determined automatically.
7

Profile cuts and undercut measurement

Any profile cuts can be created from the determined 3D model. This can be used, for example, to analyse the flanks of the dots.
8

Measurement reports

Adapted measurement protocols are available for flexo measurements, e.g. showing the dot% value.
9

Stand of the DotScope

The stand of the DotScope is suitable for both plates and rollers.

Miscellaneous

Of course, distance measurements in the plane, depth measurements or angle measurements are also possible.
