BDI Bi-Directional Inspection Rewinder
Compact Inspection and Defect Review System for Finished Rolls
The BDI Bi-Directional Inspection Rewinder is a compact, inspection-focused rewinding system designed for detailed review and correction of printed materials. Built to support defect detection, verification, and rework, the BDI allows operators to precisely locate and address defects without the need for slitting or full finishing workflows.
Engineered for simplicity and control, the BDI Series provides an efficient solution for quality assurance environments where inspection accuracy and ease of operation are the primary requirements.
Where the BDI Fits Best
Optimized for inspection-centric workflows that require precise defect handling rather than full converting.
Offline Inspection and Review
Ideal for post-production inspection of finished rolls prior to shipment or downstream processing.
Defect Verification and Rework
Allows operators to quickly locate, review, and correct defects identified by vision systems or quality audits.
Space-Constrained Facilities
Compact footprint makes the BDI suitable for production floors where space is limited.
Flexible Inspection Integration
Compatible with a wide range of camera and vision inspection systems.
Key Capabilities – Built for Inspection Control
Bi-Directional Operation
The BDI allows operators to move the web forward and backward with precision, making it easy to locate and rework defects without rewinding entire rolls.
Automatic Defect Positioning
When a defect is detected, the system automatically reverses the web to position the defect at a designated inspection or rework location.
Precision Servo Web Control
Servo-driven web handling ensures smooth, controlled movement and consistent tension during inspection and rewind operations.
Vision-System Ready Platform
Designed to integrate with virtually any camera-based inspection system, allowing flexibility in inspection technology selection.
Standard BDI System Features
