Inspection Systems

Throughout the years, Flowtork has been committed to quality since its establishment and has now expanded into inspection systems to bring that same standard of excellence to other industries.
In-Core Systèmes is a leading technology company, whose expertise is concentrated around imaging systems and optical methods for 100% surface inspection of continuous processes.
The core activity of the company is to design and manufacture automatic surface inspection systems based on line scan cameras, high performance illumination and computer technology with its proprietary process software.

Lineavision® Automatic Batch Validation System

Lineavision® for security printings application at the final stage to qualify, validate and trace the quality of the banknotes and the produced batch.

Our solution is based on multi-spectral analysis of high-resolution cameras at 600 DPI.
The automatic batch validation system is designed for:
  • Printers to validate the manufactured banknotes before realizing the batch
  • Central Banks for final validation before putting into circulation
Offering a complete inspection solution:
  • Automatic sorting based on classification rules adjusted by operator
  • Complete traceability of all inspected items
  • Post process analysis and defect management
  • Banknote virtual review based on the film stored during inspection
  • Statistics

Lineavision® SMART TABLE

The Smart Table is an optical quality control and measurement equipment for flat products of various converting process such as high security paper & printing, hologram, fabrics or printed electronics.
The Smart Table is a high-precision control and inspection solution by sampling.

Equipped with multi-acquisition conditions (Top and/or bottom customizable light R, G, B, Infra-red, UV, resolution 600 DPI, 1200 DPI), the Smart Table equipment for print qualification performs several type of controls:
  • Registration control
  • Dimensional control
  • Measurement control
  • Aspect control
  • Multi-spectral inspection of different features

The smart table equipment has two main software

Inspection Software:
This is the main software of the system. It allows to manage the scanning, to modify the inspection and learning settings, to handle the batches, to execute inspections and to save reports. It includes visualization tools as zoom and defect browsing. It also has a maintenance menu allowing to configure the system settings.
The inspection consists in applying all the algorithms and quality strategies set in the template. During the inspection all anomalies are detected. The inspection result contains the potential defects, their features, as well as numerous measurements (positions, distances…). In a second step, the detected anomalies are classified into defect classes. The inspection result is stored in the form of reports. The full report is stored in database and it can be browsed with the Report software.

Post processing analyses:
This software allows to perform all the post processing analyses of all the inspected sheets. The reports are stored in database and can be browsed with the Report software.
Reports are the result of the inspection containing all the information for post processing and inspection analysis. The post processing software “Report Manager” is a comprehensive user interface that brings together useful and cost-saving information of the manufactured product.
