Option: Laser end fold system

Two laser units inspects all or part of each wrapped-ream end-fold, providing an additional inspection for optimal ream quality. The stand-alone unit with dedicated PLC is added upstream of Model 124 and offers a visual determination of poor quality or faulted reams based on ream-fold angles, double folds, and other wrapping qualities. Non-conforming reams will trigger rejection on the Model 124 ream rejector.
