Making good decisions hinges on detail

For over a century, the packaging industry has relied on portable eyeglass magnifiers to ensure production quality.

In an industry where precision is paramount, the BOBST Smartphone Microscope defines a new standard.

Enhance your quality control, reduce waste, and strengthen your team's knowledge base.

Features

Bright LEDs

Bright LEDs make it easy to approve that colors are in register and the ink pressure is correct. Moving the microscope over a varnish area makes it easy to see if the varnish has been applied correctly or not.

Built-in apps

Many operators in the packaging industry are visual thinkers who learn by example. Use the built-in smartphone apps to create a library of good quality and bad quality examples, which can then be used to teach new staff what to look out for.

Precision and consistency

Experience new levels of precision and consistency with the Smartphone Microscope from BOBST. 

Ideal make-ready in less time

In the folding carton industry, world-class hot-foil operators use the Smartphone Microscope to achieve the ideal make-ready in less time; easily see if print and foil are concentric and note the move amounts.

Connect with the BOBST ecosystem of digital tools

Send inspection photographs directly into digital inspection table quality reports. Alternatively, share and stream directly with coworkers (e.g. ink suppliers) via enterprise apps like Microsoft Teams.

Side lights

Side lights make it easier to verify the print and embossing registration, and correct it if necessary. Similarly, it can inspect creases to determine if they are on-edge or well-formed.

Magnetic base

The magnetic base secures the device at a station, while the magnetic charging cable works for both a phone and the microscope. The product ergonomics are optimized for a packaging environment and suitable for corrugated, carton, flexibles, and labels.
