Language

These are the original instructions, written in English.

Product overview

The VEO 600 web viewing system uses a camera unit to capture images of a moving web material that is to be inspected, normally inspection of a printed web. A strobe lamp, integrated into the camera unit, illuminates in time with the machine speed to capture or "freeze" images on the moving web to allow a visual inspection, via monitor, by an operator.

The camera unit can be positioned manually or by motorized control over the web material. A sensor synchronizes capturing of images with the moving web material. The display of the print image that is being observed appears on a monitor.

The camera is operated either by a built-in keypad or by an external keyboard (for remote operation of the VEO 600). The individual components of the system are connected to a central power supply. www.maxcessintl.com Fife VEO 600 MI 2-272 1 A

Gear selection

INSTALLATION

Because the cylinder on a printing press is usually removed to install the print plate, the gear sensor cannot be installed on the cylinder gear.

In this case, the gear sensor should be put on a gear that is in sync with the web. In the picture below, gear A and gear C must have a tooth ratio of 1:1. If not, it will be very difficult to obtain a stable image.

1 Cylinder gear

2 Gear with sensor

3 Gear sensor with holder

The gear sensor MUST be installed on the gear engaged with the cylinder gear in the same transmission system with the same gear modules and the same line speed. www.maxcessintl.com Fife VEO 600 MI 2-272 1 A

Gear sensor installation continued

Mounting the gear sensor

INSTALLATION

The gear sensor must be installed along the gear axis or perpendicular to the surface of the gear.

If it is not perpendicular to the gear, the sensor signal will be weak, affecting the image stability.

Only qualified personnel may install the gear sensor.

End view Front view

If the gear is a long distance from the printing press frame, use a support to extend the gear sensor mounting bracket. www.maxcessintl.com

The support to extend the gear sensor must be strong enough to prevent vibration from the printing press.

Using dual sensors

INSTALLATION

The VEO can use dual sensors to keep the position in the repeat length that was last viewed after stopping and restarting the press.

One sensor (1) is used to synchronize the strobe to the web image by reading each tooth on the gear.

The other sensor (2) is used to signal the position being viewed in the repeat by reading a signal that is one pulse per revolution.

1 Proximity sensor

2 Screw installed on the gear (or gear axis)

You can install a screw on the side of the gear or on the axis of the gear, and then install the repeat sensor against this screw.

Fife part no. M146116

The KT-5 sensor is an optical sensor that detects differences in contrast on printed material. It is suitable for detecting explicit image marks or (alternatively) suitable image edges with high contrast that occur once or more per image.

Since the KT-5 provides significantly less information that the rotary encoder by comparison, the print system must run at a constant speed to be able to display stable images.

Fluctuations in the speed of the print system are reflected in an unstable image position. The image can be improved with a sensor combination

The VEO 600 series can be run in either of two operating modes: AUTO or SNAP.

Use the

MODE

button to switch between the two modes.

In AUTO mode, the camera takes an image three times per second. The sensor signal will be ignored by the system. The mode type on the main screen displays AUTO mode.

In SNAP mode, the system is synchronized to the web by a sensor such as a gear sensor, inductive proximity sensor, encoder, or other synchronization device. The image displayed on the screen is updated with each flash.

The mode type on the main screen displays SNAP mode.

Autoscan

VEO 600-MTZ only

If the web is very wide and the print content is consistent across the entire width, you can use the Autoscan function to scan the print automatically.

Press

SCAN

once, the camera will automatically travel back and forth 200 times (maximum) between the two stops on the positioning track.

On the remote keyboard, a light next to the

SCAN

button indicates that the system is in the Autoscan function.

Press

SCAN again to stop Autoscan before 200 scans.

In AUTO mode, the Autoscan function does not need a sync signal input. It will shoot at a fixed frequency.

In SNAP mode, the Autoscan function requires a sync signal. www.maxcessintl.com Fife VEO 600 MI 2-272 1 A

Image navigation

Web width direction

OPERATION

The VEO 600 can move across the web in any mode.

Press the button once; the camera will move incrementally.

Press and hold the button: the camera will move until it contacts a stop.

Web running direction

The VEO 600 divides the time between two shots into 1024 parts regardless of the length of time between shots.
