Cerulean Instrumentation will be introducing its new hand-held, OCT Optical Carton Tester at the Interpack show in Düsseldorf, 8-14 May 2014.
The OCT Optical Carton Tester optically measures and records dimensions, angles, and symmetry of carton crease, bead and formed box.
According to UK-based Cerulean, part of Molins plc, OCT quickly assesses the multi-layer construction of all types of printed or non-printed carton board, paperboard and waxed carton product, and has the ability to test complex embossing and multi-folded corners.
Utilising a full HD handheld camera, the Cerulean OCT is connected to a laptop via a simple USB cable and is said to be intuitive and easy to use. The system comes pre-programmed with analysis and reporting software.
“Available in two versions, the OCT provides simple measurement for quality control with results in PDF format,” the company says.
The OCT Plus is ideal for use in production and incorporates sophisticated measurement software for coordinating the various matrices that influence carton quality.
After assessment is complete, certification can be printed for quality assurance purposes.
The launch of the OCT follows the recent introduction of the company’s PCT portable carton tester and the launch of the LCT laboratory carton tester in 2013.
Cerulean Instrumentation will be at Hall 06, Stand C43 at Interpack in Düsseldorf, 8-14 May 2014.
