What is Anicam?
The AniCAM 3D Scanning Microscope is the capturing device for Troikas Quality Control Applications to measure Flexo-Plates, Anilox Rolls and Gravure Cylinders. These applications are proven to enable printers to know the condition of their rolls or plates and make savings by reducing press setup time and waste.
Its design allows the camera to be placed on flat material and/or ceramic, chrome or steel cylinders. The internal high-tech motors can be stepped in fractions of a micron. The 3D images are generated from a number of “photos” taken at a different focus depths. The software combines the sharp parts of each image and creates the 3D representation of the substrate for which depth, opening, volume, dot shape and profile can be analysed.
Coaxial and Radial Light
The camera unit is equipped with two light sources: Coaxial light is directed straight down onto the surface of the material and reflected back up the same path and onto the camera. It is essential for the Autofocus and readings.
The Radial Light is a 2 x 9-LED ring system that is designed to radiate light into the cells, which leads to an optimum illumination for most accurate readings.
