ABSTRACT:
Printed webs leaving a printing press at speeds above 500 feet per minute are inspected with precision across the full width of the web by a stroboscope method and apparatus. Each repetitive image or design imprinted on the high speed web is rendered stationary relative to the eyes of a viewer at a web inspection station by bright short flashes of light emitted by an elongated xenon flash tube or tubes spanning the web transversely of its path of movement. Light flashes triggered by an improved strobe circuit which is synchronized with the images at all times permits an inspector to inspect any number of images, spaced around the press cylinder, whether or not the images are equally spaced. Additionally, the system can be used in either an image lock mode for side-by-side comparison with a standard or in a controlled pan or scroll mode to allow optimal inspection of entire impression sequences. Also, when desirable, both sides of the web can be inspected by utilizing a second flash tube configuration located behind the web.
