TWINStar system capabilities
The system characteristics of TWINStar are perfectly matched to register control applications with the highest demands on quality and performance.
- smart, compact and high-performance register control for gravure printing units, flexo printing units, screen printing processes, tool stations and insetter applications
- control of up to 2 printing units or tool units
- simple, intuitive operation - One view, one click
- all necessary functions are reachable with just one click

- The integrated eltromat RSH register sensor family reliably detects a wide range of extremely low-contrast and metallized inks, UV inks and numerous near-transparent laquers (more information "RSH sensor")
- Detection of a wide variety of register marks
- Wedge marks, block marks, laquer and varnish marks, UV marks, printing features
- Variable and intelligent control modes
- eltromat single-head measuring method enables fast and convenient switching between fix and sequential measurement
- Web-web or web-cylinder measurement methods
- Highly dynamic control algorithms

- Front-to-back control in web-web and web-cylinder measurement methods
- Insetter for register control of pre-printed webs
- Real-time live display of register marks and detection performance
- RegiChart register trend display for monitoring of the control processes
- RegiTouch for quick and easy pre-positioning of register marks
- regi_commander: smart control panel for controlling processes directly at the printing units or tool stations
- Extensive event handling to adapt the system to the respective machine conditions
- Profinet integration interfaces for process and system data
- Chart outputs for logging register deviations
- Open system architecture for fast and flexible integration into the machine
- Field-proven industrial components for a long life and minimal service effort
The powerful eltromat mark recognition is the basis for perfect register control. The high-performance eltromat RSH register mark sensors allow secure detection of even low-contrast register marks.
