GLASS QUALITY VISION SYSTEM (GQVS)
Installed downstream of the washing machine, this system scans the entire glass surface to detect defects such as scratches, breakages, air bubbles, chips, contamination, and water residues. It is suitable for raw, cut, or ground glass.
Advanced optical technology based on alternating light patterns allows the detection of even the most subtle defects. During setup, sensitivity levels can be defined for each defect type, ensuring precise and reliable inspection.
Different sensitivity zones can also be configured across the glass surface, enabling stricter control in critical areas while maintaining optimized inspection along the edges.
PRINT QUALITY VISION SYSTEM (PQVS)
Installed immediately after the printing machine, this system ensures the quality of the printed design by detecting defects such as smearing, widening of details, pinholes, faded dots, and missing elements.
Each glass is inspected and compared with predefined tolerances set in the inspection recipe, which can be reused for consistent production. Sensitivity zones can be customized to provide enhanced control in key areas such as logos and barcodes.
The system provides real-time feedback and enables automatic correction of the frame position without stopping the conveyor. High-resolution linear cameras ensure precise inspection of even the smallest print details.
AUTOMATIC SCREEN REGISTRATION (ASR)
This system uses two cameras installed under the printing table and controlled by servo motors to automatically align the screen with the glass. All alignment parameters are stored within the production recipe for repeatability.
It significantly reduces setup time and simplifies model changeovers, allowing operators to switch production with minimal intervention. The system automatically adjusts positioning, improving accuracy and consistency.
As a result, it enhances process efficiency, reduces human error, and ensures reliable registration across different production batches.
BROKEN SCREEN DETECTION SYSTEM (BSD)
Installed downstream of the printing machine, this system detects ink leakage on the lower surface of the glass caused by damaged or broken screens. The ink is deposited onto a white roller, where it is then inspected, with green lighting used to detect specific ink colors.
Using a dedicated camera and specially developed software, it identifies even very small ink spots, down to 1 mm in diameter, regardless of their position on the glass.
This ensures immediate detection of screen damage, preventing defective production and allowing timely corrective actions without compromising efficiency.
INK DETECTION SYSTEM (IDS)
Based on the same principle as the broken screen detection system, IDS identifies ink residues on the lower surface of the glass, preventing contamination of the conveying system and print defects.
The glass passes over a white reference roller, integrated into the system support structure or as the first conveyor roller, where any transferred ink traces are detected by a vision system with linear cameras and dedicated lighting.
The system processes data in real time and communicates directly with the PLC, enabling immediate response and continuous process monitoring.
BROKEN EDGES DETECTOR (BED)
BED is an advanced vision system designed to detect defects on glass edges and corners before critical processing stages such as printing, bending, or tempering.
It integrates easily into existing production lines and quickly adapts to different glass formats thanks to its automatic training capability.
Real-time defect visualization and direct communication with the line PLC allow immediate corrective actions, ensuring stable process control, reduced risks, and improved overall efficiency.
