Certified Engraving offers automatic quality control, which makes the cylinder manufacturing process safer and reduces the need for press proofs. Certified Engraving documents the engraving with regard to test cut, engraving check, stylus geometry and gray scale wedges. The engraving cylinder is measured for axial precision, concentricity and cylinder slip. In addition, the image capture can move to selected positions in order to capture and document cells or complete characters.

All measured values and camera images as well as protocols from upstream process steps are documented in the cylinder certificate. The front page of the certificate clearly summarizes the detailed results and enables inspection at a glance. For higher-level quality control of cylinder production, Certified Engraving transfers all information to the higher-level database CYON from K.Walter, for example.
