Read Side Inspection Checks Product Quality

June 2009
Toronto, Canada

Xiris introduces the latest member of its family of Inspection products, the RS-2200 High Resolution Read Side Inspection System, for the Optical Disc Industry.

The RS-2200 provides quality inspection of the Read Side of an Optical Disc to detect basic defects in the play area of the disc, such as ink marks, smudges, scratches, dust and other defects. The system is able to detect most major surface-related defects as small as 60μm on the read side of discs once they have been printed using standard printing machines.

Not even the greatest care in handling and printing Optical Discs can completely eliminate surface defects from occurring on the bottom side of a disc. Any defects visible to the human eye can quickly erode confidence in a manufacturer’s products by customers and the consumer alike. The Xiris RS-2200 Read Side Inspection system helps to maximize product quality by verifying the read area of each disc before it leaves a printing machine, with double the resolution of our standard Read Side inspection system, the RS-1600.
