The mRC-3D detection camera is now equipped with double sensors
The installations are the company’s closed loop colour register system mRC-3D colour register.
Understandably, publishers of Hindi dailies lead the numbers. Amar Ujala has five installations, Jagran Prakashan has four and DB Corp has three.
Gujarat’s The Sandesh Limited has invested in four colour register systems while Thiruvananthapuram-based Deshabhimani invested in two. Kolkata-based Darpan Conclave has got two systems.
Rounding up the numbers, Divya Marathi, The Indian Express, MP Printer, and press manufacturers The Printers House and Prakash Web Offset invested in one system each.
Incorporated in 1996, QI Press Controls has grown into a global organisation with seven offices and a network.
According to the company, the mRC-3D camera is the fastest in the world and can measure the paper web accurately independently of the focus distance and distortions in the paper web. This ensures a very short response time, as a result of which substantial savings can be achieved on paper insertion.
The mRC-3D detection camera is now equipped with double sensors. The double sensor technology not only doubles the possibilities, but can also handle depth more efficiently. This concept proves its great added value case of unsteady paper web routings and/or surfaces.
Another completely new feature is the option to clean the optic by means of removable glass (IMS) or even to automate this completely by means of driven film (AIMS).
In January 2017, Darpan Conclave installed mRC-3D Colour register (mRC-3D cut-off ribbon control integrated and AIMS) on its TPH Orient web offset press.
Faridabad-based Prakash Web Offset got one mRC-3D colour register (AIMS) to run on the machine company manufactures.
Deshabhimani daily invested in two mRC-3D colour register (AIMS) to be run on TPH Orient.
Noida-based Jagran Prakashan opted for the extension of system on its Manugraph Cityline press.
In February, the three investments by DB Corp were fitted into Manugraph M360 machines in two different locations — one in Shivaspura and two in Bhopal.
The Sandesh Limited also got four systems fitted into its Manugraph machines in two locations, two in Baroda and two in Surat.
In April, Noida-based MP Printers got one mRC-3D colour register system for its Manugraph Cityline.
The Indian Express has installed extension of the system in a Pressline machine in Lucknow.
Jagran Prakashan got the system for its Manugraph and TPH Orient presses in three locations — Ludhiana, Jalandhar, and Bhopal.
Amar Ujala too got the systems for its TPH Orient 45000 and TPH Orient presses in Noida, Moradabad, Dehradun and Agra.
