Optima Srl and Deltamax Srl are pleased to announce the first totally automatic Italian system for the recognition of defects and glass cutting optimisation as per the positions of the same defects. The inspection of glass on a double-glazing line, and therefore during assembly phases, is now well-known and widely used, and has led to considerable savings in time as well as increased productivity, with consequent reduction introduction costs (and transport) for the glass. However, considering that defects are often present on the glass sheet right from the start, why not identify them before cutting, and take them into account during optimisation? This article describes the first integrated system "Made in Italy" for the online recognition and optimisation of defects in glass.
