<p>An error detection apparatus and method for use with engravers (figure 9), such as gravure engravers. An error value E corresponding to the difference between a set of predetermined setup parameters and actual measurement of a portion of an engraved area on the cylinder (10') is determined. The error value E is then used to adjust the engraver to engrave an actual cut or etch in accordance with the set of predetermined setup parameters. Advantageously, an error detection and correction system is suitable for providing a closed-loop system for engraving a cylinder (10'). The apparatus and method (figure 9) may be used during initial setup or during normal operation of the engraver. Other features include an autofocus routine (figure 13) to facilitate the autofocus procedure. Also, image processing is further enhanced by gap filling, discontinuity removal, and light calibration methods which may be used alone, in combination with each other, or in combination with the automatic focus system (46') and/or automatic shoe system (209').</p> |
