Durst Group has introduced its Hawk Eye technology at Labelexpo 2023 in Brussels.
The new technology focuses on three primary themes: more applications, more automation and less waste. It uses camera vision systems and artificial intelligence to automate print quality, significantly reducing waste and improving print quality.
The company says that Durst Hawk Eye goes one step further than similar inspection systems available on the market. It corrects print mistakes, such as missing nozzles, inline and in real time, without any setup needed or operator intervention.
Additionally, it aims to significantly reduce setup time and waste, enhancing efficiency and an even more competitive total cost of ownership for the Tau RSC platform printers.
Showcasing Tau success
Martin Leitner, product manager at Durst Group, says, “The Durst Hawk Eye is a game changer for the digital printing industry. This technology will greatly increase productivity and efficiency, but more importantly, it will reduce waste and the carbon footprint of our customers. We are thrilled to introduce this innovative solution to the market. We are providing exclusive information during Labelexpo.”
On the show floor, Durst Group has showcased the successful Tau 510 RSCi. It prints at 80 metres per minute, at a width of 510mm. This translates to over 3,000 square metres per hour prouctivity.
The Tau 510 RSCi boasts material and application versatility and excellent print quality. Durst says it achieves this the highest productivity, offering an aggressive total cost of production. It also offers new automation features, making the operator’s life easier and increasing the overall high efficiency of the machine.
The press on the show floor has the double white feature, allowing it to print white ink at excellent opacity levels.
In addition, Durst Group has unveiled the next generation of the Tau RSC UV ink set, available in CMYK OVG and white. It meets the latest regulatory requirements, expanding the converters’ application range even further.
