German-based ISRA Surface Vision has developed the fully automatic FLOATSCAN Colour system which inspects the coating quality directly on the production line and detects all serial defects at an early stage, before they become relevant and lead to defective material being processed further. Defects such as colour inconsistencies can occur during the on-line pyrolytic coating of glass ribbons. In order to prevent defective material being processed, such coating defects need to be taken into account when sheets are cut. In many cases, such defects are caused by errors in the coating process. To meet these challenges, the company offers fully automated solutions that ensure full area inspection for colour defects.
