Saddle Brook, NJ / Düsseldorf Germany (News release) - Unilux, a designer and manufacturer of stroboscopic inspection systems, announced new controls for their popular LED2000 Series Inspection systems.

The company said new Smart Assist controls make it even easier to adjust settings so that an inspector can view fine detail in any high-speed process as if it's standing still. Operators can confirm print registration and surface quality in an instant, across the entire width of the web or strip.

Advanced configurations like Cross Light Inspection for surface quality or the ability to view standard and UV-visible inks on the same line are easily installed. Users can quickly move through critical settings like brightness and duration using full text prompts in various languages, reducing setup time.

"Smart Assist improves our customers' ability to see crisp, clear images at full production speed, while at the same time simplifying their day-to-day operations," said Mike Simonis, President of Unilux. "For direct observation of defects at full production speed, stroboscopic inspection can't be beat. From the incorporation of LEDs to Smart Assist, there has never been a better time to consider stroboscopic inspection as a highly effective solution for quality control."

Unilux LED2000 Series stroboscopic inspection systems now come standard with Smart Assist. The controls are currently available in English, German, Spanish, French and Simplified Chinese to accommodate global operations. Additional languages will be released based on demand.
