Welcome to SICHANGO VISION TECHNOLOGY
SICHANGO SCOUT 3 & Observer 4000M Print Inspection & Registration Camera for 2002 Labelman PW-260-R6C Narrow Web Label Press
The Observer 4000M is a motorized web video inspection system designed specifically for narrow-web label presses, including flexographic and rotary machines. It is a perfect match for the Labelman PW-260-R6C.
Its motor-driven traversing camera automatically scans the entire print web, with a maximum travel of up to 3 meters — ideal for real-time monitoring of print quality and registration on label presses.
The SCOUT 3 is a compact inspection camera with a field of view of 50 × 30 mm, suitable for narrow-web rotary presses with limited installation space.
If your primary needs are registration monitoring and basic color inspection, and space on the press is tight, the SCOUT 3 is a viable option. However, if you need more comprehensive print defect scanning capability, the Observer 4000M is the better choice.
| Feature | SCOUT 3 | Observer 4000M |

| Best For | Compact spaces, basic inspection | Full scanning, wide coverage |
The key advantage of the Observer 4000M is its motorized transverse movement — it automatically scans along a rail across the print web, covering widths up to 3 meters, with position memory for quick recall on repeat jobs. It also features built-in RGB/CMYK real-time color value detection, displaying color density changes directly on screen to help operators adjust ink supply immediately.

To recommend the most accurate configuration, we need the following details:
Maximum Web Width: What is the printing width of your Labelman PW-260-R6C? (e.g., 260 mm?) This determines rail length and camera travel.
Maximum Running Speed: What speed (m/min) does your press typically run at? Both the Observer 4000M and SCOUT 3 support up to 600 m/min.
Installation Space Constraints: Is there sufficient space above or beside the press to mount the camera rail and bracket? The SCOUT 3's compact design is advantageous when space is tight.
Primary Inspection Needs: Which defects matter most to you? Registration, color, missing print, scratches — or full print quality monitoring?
Substrate Type & Special Processes: Do you use UV inks, metallic effects, lamination, or other special materials? This may require optional UV lighting or backlight modules.
