Glass quality control scanner
In modern production processes, considering the increasingly narrow margins applied to individual products, attention to quality is an increasingly topical and indispensable issue to guarantee the delivery of defect-free items to the end customer, avoiding complaints or even worse replacements.
Deltamax has developed different solutions that can be used at any point in the production process. Among these could not miss“ endof-line” control, one of the never hidden desires of all manufacturers, in any sector. At the Vitrum exhibition, Deltamax will officially present an IGU scanner, a system capable of controlling the quality of the finished glazing unit, before or after sealing. While retaining the distinctive features of all Deltamax solutions, from compactness to positioning behind the line( to avoid getting in the way of the operators’ work), from modularity to ease of installation( which generally does not require any changes to the production line), this new system allows precise and punctual checks, identifying non-conformities in the transparent area or in the application of the channel. Defect control in the transparent area: IGU scanner’ s performance in detecting non-conformities in the transparent area of glass is comparable to that of its“ parent” GlassInspector. It is therefore possible to detect the presence of bubbles, inclusions, scratches, the presence of foreign bodies or butyl residue on each of the glass units. Spacer inspection: in this case, IGU scanner makes it possible to detect discrepancies in the installation of the spacer, regardless of its type. Thus, out-of-squareness or misalignments in the positioning along the sides can be detected, as
well as non-conformities in the corners. The IGU scanner has already been installed by several customers:- in double-glazing production lines: installed immediately after the press, which is interfaced with the line, our system allows noncompliant double-glazing to be stopped before it is sealed.
- in a dedicated line: Deltamax has also created control islands, equipped with a loading / unloading area and washing machine, which allow each insulating glass unit to be checked after sealing. The data collected by the system can then be managed by the Production Anazlyer software, developed to allow statistical checks and to collect images of defects, as well as to automatically produce reports with the results of the check, also to be made available to customers with cloud-based solutions. Like all the products produced by Deltamax, the IGU scanner allows our clients to customise the inspection, making it more or less restrictive depending on the customer, the type of the product, etc.
