Quality assurance and process control have become more important than ever for the production of glass sheets. New high-tech processing steps for todays glass types, such as fire protection lamination or ITO/TCO coatings, can also boost the expenditure of production. Thus, an early reaction to deviations from quality and process standards can save enormous costs for material loss. Glass contamination's or defects in the glass can cause glass breakage at a later processing stage. Also, profound secondary costs such as downtime of production lines and even guarantee costs could greatly decrease yield and profit. 

Based on a modular concept using high-resolution cameras and high performance LED illumination units GlassInspect can be optimized for various applications and inspection tasks within the production process. Defect classification software modules, each specifically tailored to the various production steps, help glass manufacturers to improve quality at a higher yield.

GlassInspect is available either fully integrated into automated production lines or as stand-alone systems with loading and unloading capability for batch and prototype production.

• Unmatched cycle time
• Superior defect sensitivity
• Wide range of panel sizes and types
• Innovative glass handling technology

The combined contribution of the proprietary technologies of pattern compensation, measurement modules and modular system design maximizes the inspection performance of the GlassInspect system in order to best serve the needs of the glass sheet manufacturer.
