An inspection system for detecting stones and knots in glass tubes has been developed by Jorgen Laessoe Ingeniorfirma. The system has already been working continuously for more than nine months and has proven its capability. It can handle different line speeds and tube diameters in real time covering the entire tube, while detecting stones and knots down to a size of 0.4mm in diameter.
