BetaFlex Pro 6.0 Software Upgrade for micro cell screening, measuring metal backed plates, improved measurement of white ink film mottle and more.
The newest update to the BetaFlex Pro software offers many new features and connectivity to the new BetaFlex Pro Workflow Automation.
New to Version 6 are the following features;
- A relational database used by all aspects of the base software and the optional FlexoEyePlus Software data collection and report-writing feature
- Backward compatibility with the flat files used in Ver. 5 and earlier
- Update function to migrate the flat files to the relational database
- XML import and export of all data and settings to allow integration with ERP and WorkFlow systems
BetaFlex Pro 6.0 Software Version 6 will be required in order to run the latest version of FlexoEyePlus Software will be required to run the full WorkFlow Automation feature set. FlexoEyePlus Software with WorkFlow Automation introduces a completely new method to organize and qualify flexo plate production using the latest hardware and software tools.
BetaFlex Pro2 XXL Long Arm System mounts the BetaFlex Pro Measuring Head / Sensor or FlexiGage Micrometer 30 inches (750 mm) from the outer edge to the center of the plate.
• Transmission plate and mask analysis
• 3D Dot analysis
• Print analysis
• Thickness/relief analysis of large samples (with optional FlexiGage Micrometer see below)
FlexiGage Micrometer & Software To measure plate gauge and relief of thermal, aqueous, solvent, and direct ablation plates by the FlexiGage Micrometer and added to the FlexoEyePlus Software report generating software.
The FlexiGage Micrometer optionally attaches directly to the arm of the standard of BetaFlex Pro, the arm of the XXL Long Arm, see above, or to the user's existing plate micrometer platform, as well as to the arm of the BetaFlex Pro Sleeve Adaptor System.
FlexoEyePlus Software for BetaFlex Pro FlexoEyePlus, optional software data collector & report generator for use with the BetaFlex Pro(1&2) guides the operator to collect just the plate data needed in a high volume production environment.
FlexoEyePlus simplifies data collection for high end production. Tightly integrated into the standard software application, it introduces convenient PASS/FAIL icons to evaluate minimum and midtone dot, stain density, cutback curve, plate relief and more while plotting the day's production on a convenient graph.
Included in the FlexoEyePlus suite of features is the new BetaFlex Pro Workflow Automation / QR Code Relational Database for the BetaFlex Pro.
WorkFlow Automation utilizes a micro QR Code and full relational database to track the photopolymer sheet through imaging, processing, and printing.
Working in conjunction with the ESKO Automation Engine the QR code is automatically generated and imaged on the mask. Processing parameters are then automatically set when the code is read at the plate processor. This eliminates the possibility of operator error when keying in the plate exposure and processing settings.
The micro QR Code on the processed plate is automatically recognized by the new BetaFlex Pro software, setting the measurement parameters, recording the measured results of dot area, dot structure, plate thickness, and relief. Errors in configuration of the BetaFlex Pro due to operator error are now eliminated.
BetaFlex Pro Roll Mount makes it possible to document plate wear and damage while the plate is still on press. The Betaflex Pro sensor (measuring head) attaches to the Roll Mount, stabilizing the sensor on a stationary plate cylinder for 3D mode measurements. Web print samples can also be imaged on a stationary web over a turning bar or flat area.
BetaFlex Pro Sleeve Adapter System Measure flexo plates and digital masks in the round in both conventional 2D mode and 3D mode and supports sleeves up to 80 inches / 2032 mm wide, 15.7 inches / 398.78 mm in diameter. Measure Dot Structure Analysis in 3D mode reveals dot height, slope, and more.
