The purpose of the system is to control the amount of separator that is fed to the individual panes of glass on the production line. The separator constitutes 30-100 μm micro-granules which are sprinkled onto panes of glass on the production line at the glassworks. It protects the panes from scratching during transport. The system also makes it possible to vary the amount of sprinkled material, ensuring the optimum separation of the pane.
The vision system is made up of cameras placed on a portal installed directly above the production line. Each of them dynamically adapts to changing product parameters by means of a servo drive. The results of the image-based analysis are presented in a specially developed application.
