Ensuring reliable pharmaceutical printing

The TubeScan 100% inspection system offers functions such as PDF comparison, small text inspection, variable data / barcode verification, and detailed reporting for label and narrow‑web applications. Invisible inks such as Braille varnish can be reliably inspected with the multiplex illumination. 

The specifically engineered TubeScan Pharma Mode can control the bi‑directional rewinder to automatically position defects on a repair position. This enables precise correction and ensures that the corrected repeat is re‑inspected and validated during forward operation.

BST offers a range of web guiding systems for pharmaceutical label and packaging processes, designed to meet strict hygiene requirements. All components support contamination-sensitive production environments and enable reliable operation under demanding conditions.

Precise and stable web guiding ensures that the material remains exactly in position throughout the process, even at high production speeds. Camera-based sensor technology is typically used for pharmaceutical label applications, enabling precise line, contrast, and web-edge tracking, even on glossy or reflective substrates. This prevents lateral deviation, reduces waste, and avoids process interruptions.

Customers also benefit from precise register control designed for label and narrow-web pharmaceutical applications. 

These BST technologies ensure high repeat accuracy, stable synchronization of print and converting processes, and reliable positioning of batch-related and variable data throughout the entire production run – helping to prevent mislabeling and ensure consistent product identification.
