Vetaphone has a patent application for its new iCorona Film Tester 1000/600

 

Inventor of corona, Vetaphone, has developed a new testing machine that analyses the amount of surface treatment required for the substrate before the job is started.

The iCorona Film Tester 1000/600 runs an initial RED 38 dyn pen test. A second test creates exact material curves for polymer-based films to ensure the correct treatment level is applied, while the third test creates wetting characteristics for a specific film surface to verify that the chosen ink will match the job, film type, and desired quality. There is also an optional surface analysis tool that can create reports based on the wetting angle.

‘The new iCorona Film Tester takes all the guesswork out of corona treatment and allows converters to get it right first time, every time,’ said CSO Jan Eisby. ‘We believe it will be a big seller for us.’
