C8 Overview
Overview
The GlobalVision C8 cylinder scanner is designed to scan the surface of a uniform cylindrical object (same cylindrical shape throughout) and compare a customer-approved PDF or proof file. The GlobalVision C8 can also compare the scan of a reference cylindrical object to another or many others. It is used for bottles, tubes, cans, and containers.
This document provides the necessary information and steps required to scan samples using the GlobalVision C8 with GlobalVision Desktop software. For more information, consult the GlobalVision Help Center for a quick start guide and easy-to-follow instructional video.
