See More. Stop Less. Keep Production Moving.
Rapid Vision High-Speed Web Viewer
See what's happening on press, without stopping the press.
Rapid Vision gives press operators a clear, high-resolution view of live production directly from an intuitive touchscreen interface.
Move quickly anywhere across the web. Inspect larger areas. Zoom down to individual process dots. Save critical viewing positions. Compare production images. And with a two-camera configuration, inspect front-to-back registration from the same interface.
Designed for Web Printing Environments
Rapid Vision gives operators continuous visibility into roll-to-roll production, helping them see more, make informed decisions, and keep the press moving.

Put the Web in Your Operator's Hands
Inspecting live production shouldn't require complicated controls or unnecessary press interruptions.
Rapid Vision combines a high-speed camera transport with an intuitive touchscreen interface that works much like the technology operators already use every day.
Drag to navigate. Pinch to zoom. Move rapidly to another area of the web. Save frequently inspected positions and return to them instantly.
The result is a powerful inspection system that feels remarkably simple to use.

See Production Live
Ultra-clear images update at more than 10 frames per second for a responsive view of production as it happens.
Built for Production. Designed for Simplicity.
Sophisticated inspection technology shouldn't mean delicate equipment, complicated installation or difficult maintenance.
Rapid Vision combines rugged industrial construction with a modular architecture designed for long service life, straightforward installation and easy expansion.
Rugged by Design
An IP-60 sealed camera, hard-steel guide rails and wheels, and no moving components inside the camera help make Rapid Vision ready for demanding production environments.
Built for the Long Run
Long-life LED illumination is designed for more than 20 years of continuous 24/7 operation, while a proven Sony image sensor provides reliable imaging technology.
Straightforward Installation
Low-voltage electrical connections use standard Ethernet cabling. GMI adjustable mounting brackets provide precise positioning, while customers with capable maintenance departments may be able to self-install with remote technical support.
Configure It Around Your Press
Rapid Vision's modular design lets you build the system around your production requirements:
-
Single Camera — High-speed viewing and inspection of one surface.
-
Two Cameras — Inspect both sides of the web with synchronized front-to-back comparison.
-
Additional User Stations — Add touchscreen control and viewing from multiple locations.
-
65-inch Enlarged Display — Provide greater visibility from across the production floor.
-
Precision Mounting Brackets — Fine-tune camera position, angle, focus and alignment.
-
Digital Encoder — Add or upgrade the positioning signal supplied to the Rapid Vision cameras.
The modular architecture also simplifies expansion and component replacement, with GMI reporting standard new-system lead times of less than one week.
