See Smarter. Run Faster. Win Bigger.
At Labelexpo Europe 2025, BST and Nyquist Systems will introduce TubeScan V8, the latest generation of their proven 100% inspection system for labels and narrow web applications. Built on a completely new software platform, BST TubeScan V8 combines advanced image processing with user-focused innovations that enhance speed, accuracy, and ease of use. It's all about seeing smarter, running faster – and winning bigger.
Key innovations in TubeScan V8:
- Smart False-Defect Prevention for more stable inspection during press fluctuations
- PDF comparison with many new features such as automatic image alignment
- Enhanced pharma mode, tailored for the highest compliance and reliability
- Streak detection for pinpointing nozzle defects in inkjet printing
- Fully redesigned user interface, that simplifies operation and reduces training time
- High-resolution, full-context defect images – enabling unmatched traceability and visual proof for every single fault
One of the most common frustrations with high-resolution inspection systems may be the detection of “false defects” – irrelevant anomalies that slow down production, create unnecessary rejections, and confuse operators. TubeScan’s highly refined software distinguishes between critical print errors and harmless variations, ensuring only real defects are flagged – accurately, reliably, and in real time. The result: fewer interruptions, less waste, and greater productivity.
Multiplexing: Parallel inspection using multiple lighting modes
BST TubeScan also introduces Multiplexing. Thanks to pulsed lighting and segment-specific matrix camera technology, multiple illumination modes can be used simultaneously. This allows for the concurrent inspection of different printing elements in a single pass – for example:
- White light for traditional 100% print inspection
- UV light for detecting fluorescent inks or security features
- Transmitted light for spotting pinholes or embedded RFID structures
Scalable functionality for every budget
From simple web monitoring to full high-resolution print inspection within digital workflows, TubeScan is scalable to meet any production or investment level. It handles everything from label counting and detection of missing labels or die-cut residues to rewinder control and complete workflow integration.
Advanced lighting options also make TubeScan ideal for demanding applications such as braille, metallic foils, security printing, and high-end finishing.
New Top-to-Bottom Monitoring System for Two-Sided Print AccuracyBST TTBView is a newly developed Top-to-Bottom viewing system that ensures perfect front-to-back alignment for printers and converters working with double-sided processes – a must-have for precision production when both sides of the material matter.
CLS CAM 200 - new matrix camera sensor controls with high precision and according to print lines, print edges or web edges
“With the new camera-based sensor CLS CAM 200, we are presenting an innovation at LabelExpo Europe 2025 that combines precision and sustainability. The system regulates directly based on contrast features, thereby increasing quality and efficiency,” explains Ingo Ellerbrock, Product Manager at BST.
The CLS CAM 200 features automatically controlled LED lighting and supports both bright-field and dark-field operation for reflective surfaces. The system is operated centrally together with the control unit via the BST SMART COM 100 Commander, complemented by an optical positioning aid and automatic job and setup memory.
Complementary web monitoring systems
BST will also showcase its video web monitoring solutions at Labelexpo:
- BST PROView: A modular, high-performance system with an unbeatable price-performance ratio
- BST POWERScope 5000: A cost-effective monitoring solution tailored for label and narrow web applications
- iPQ-Check Digital: State-of-the-art digital inspection for comprehensive quality control
All of these innovations reflect BST’s core philosophy: to develop practical, high-performance solutions that make a real difference on the production floor. This consistent focus on added value for the customer is what defines FOR YOU.
