Thermal Glass Inspection Systems

When to use Bottom-Up Glass Inspection Systems?

Bottom-Up Infrared Glass Inspection System

• When infrared cameras can be installed beneath the furnace exit, between the furnace and quench, with at least one free roller gap for an unobstructed view of the glass underside.
• When the tempering line mainly runs Low-E or coated glass, and coating-independent temperature measurement is required by viewing the uncoated, high-emissivity underside, avoiding emissivity deviations and frequent parameter changes.
• When temperature should be captured as close as possible to the furnace outlet, before the quench, to obtain precise cross-sectional profiles for recipe optimization, flatness control, and consistent mechanical strength.

Why the Bottom-Up Infrared Glass Inspection Systems?

• Bottom-up system for coating independent temperature measurement from underneath
• High-resolution bottom-up glass inspection system for process control in glass tempering machines
• Excellent 1600 px resolution on a maximum 4.3 m scan width at 900 mm distance
• Integrated ultra-fast glass breakage detection combined with a digitally controlled lens protection system (DCLP)
• No cooling or air purge requirement
• Glass area calculation
• Automatic Adjustment of the scan line (Automatic Line Adjustment – ALA)
• Pre-assembled system for easy installation on glass tempering furnaces
