Printed sheet production requires consistent edge quality to ensure smooth downstream processes such as cutting, folding, laminating, and packaging. Defects like torn edges, uneven cuts, misfeeds, or damaged corners can affect final product quality and increase material waste.

A 2D smart vision camera enables automated inspection of printed sheet edges directly on the production line. It detects edge defects in real time by analyzing boundary consistency and shape integrity as sheets exit printing or finishing equipment. This ensures only high-quality sheets proceed to the next stage, improving production efficiency, reducing waste, and maintaining consistent output quality in printing operations.
