Beta Color Viewer III -
The Best Color Tool Since the Denistometer
|
Beta Color Viewer III -
The Best Color Tool Since the Denistometer
The new Beta Color Viewer Model III brings revolutionary new functionality
to the world's most popular color inspection device. Building on the
success of over 20,000 Color Proofing Viewer Model I and Model II units
already in worldwide use, the all-new Color Viewer Model III provides a
host of new features and greater benefit to the commercial printer,
converter, and prepress operator.
Time lost in setting register, achieving color, and diagnosing print
quality problems wastes materials and destroys profits. Short-run color,
regional editions, and even variable data work require more jobs to be run,
and more setups during a shift. Anything that shortens the make-ready
cycle has a positive effect on the productivity and profitability of the
operation.
The most obvious new feature is the push-button color selection. The
traditional red, green, and blue channels are available at the touch of a
button. The fourth button activates the new ultraviolet channel. Light
emitting diodes provide unlimited lifetime and many weeks of runtime from
the rechargeable battery pack. No time is lost flipping between the white
and color channel, it's right on the same button.
The new LED illumination system allows examination of process and spot
colors, and the new UV channel detects fluorescence in substrates and
coatings.
The quick-change interchangeable lens mount and pushbutton color channel
selection make it easier to use than ever. The flat-field 10x and 20x
lenses provide the most familiar view for general inspection, and
microscopes up to 125x make the most critical adjustments and analysis
easier than ever.
Diagnose the toughest mechanical, chemical, and optical problems faster
when you can see every color clearly, including the nearly invisible
yellow, and the completely invisible fluorescent coatings and
adhesives. The perfect complement to our densitometers, the Beta Color
Viewer III lets you see what the densitometer cannot.

Beta Precision Electronic Ruler

Beta Precision Electronic Ruler
High Precision at Low Cost
It’s easy to measure one thousandth of an inch or one thousand millimeters, but very difficult to do both. The problem of high precision measurements over large distances is solved with the Beta Precision Electronic Ruler. Measurements with an accuracy of .001 inch and a range of up to 80 inches are now possible with a portable, low-cost instrument. Non-contact measurements eliminate the risk of damaging films or dies or distortion of extensible substrates, and inch and metric units are selectable with the push of a button.
When the object fits in the field of view of a measuring microscope, line it up with the reticle and read the length directly. Measuring features and repeat lengths on films, plates, and dies is usually relegated to a steel rule and the operator’s ability to estimate between the lines. When higher precision is needed, floor-mounted optical comparators can be used, but they’re not portable and very expensive.
The Beta Precision Ruler combines the advantages of the measuring microscope and the digital readout of the comparator. Sight the crosshair on the microscope on the start of the feature and zero the electronic readout. Rapidly slide the cursor close to the endpoint, creep to the final position with the thumbwheel, and readout the final dimension on the five and a half digit display.
Ask your local dealer or contact Beta Industries to arrange a demonstration of the Beta Precision Electronic Ruler. See what you’ve been measuring, and missing,

BETAFLEX PRO for HD FLEXO – TECHNOLOGY FOR TODAY’S FLEXO
As HD Flexo requires the most advanced analysis software and hardware to effectively analyze extremely small highlight dots that are normally beyond the capabilities of existing flexo analyzers, Betaflex Pro’s revolutionary 3D Dot Structure Imaging delivers analysis and visual confirmation of these small halftone dots. Operators are no longer left guessing or making subjective judgments.
2D imaging of the full tonal range yields precise and repeatable measurements from 50 to 200 line conventional screens and FM screens as well. User definable values are set for Dot Structure diameter and shoulder profile from the OK dot image. Production samples are imaged with a topographical visualization and comparison function in addition to the numerical readout. The system generates pass, warning, or fail indicators to guide the operator in accepting or rejecting plates. Extensive testing was done to document the improvements in repeatability and reliability of the measurements. A separate technical document is available on request.
New & Unique Features:
- 3D Dot Structure Imaging for extremely fine highlight dots with a programmable Pass/Fail indicator.
- Color Image Separation & Dot Area Analysis from the finished printed sample. Extremely useful when there is no room for printed targets such as pharmaceutical and cosmetic printing
- Direct Image Comparison. Compare the mask directly to the plate, the plate to the print on the same screen.
- Betaflex Pro Sleeve Adaptor. Gives the end-user the ability to measure sleeved or plates in the round with the new sleeve adaptor as an optional add-on to be used with Betaflex Pro.
