FEATURED INSTALLATION
Hub Labels, Hagerstown, MD, is expanding its inspection and quality control solutions from AVT. After originally installing Helios 100% inspection on a pair of labeling lines two years ago, the company is adding the solution to three existing lines and two newly purchased ones. "AVT's inspection and quality control solutions increase not only our capabilities but our confidence, because its multi-tiered stopgaps reassure us that any out-of-spec labels are being recognized for potential rejection," said Thomas Dahbura, president. "Helios and its supplemental solutions have given us valuable insight into our printing press operations that allows us to produce better labels faster and more seamlessly." Hub has clocked material waste as low as 2% even while running 400 ft of web/minute and estimates its output has risen an impressive 15%.
