Control of the separator on a pane of glass

System tasks

System tasks

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.

Software features

  • Full automation of the measurement performed. Measurement initiated from the central control room,
  • Full visualization and archiving of measurement results on the monitor in the control room,
  • Possibility of testing glass panes of different thicknesses,
  • Possibility to control different types of separators.

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.

Software advantages

  • Possibility of measuring up to 100% of the panes produced,
  • Economical – no need to throw away a tested pane,
  • Possibility of compiling data from an entire day or month,
  • Immediate results allow for a much shorter set-up of the powder station,
  • The alarm (when the amount of microgranules is too low) allows the operator to react before the product is packed without a separator,
  • Time saving, manual test takes approx. 20 minutes (the inspection operator can perform other activities),
  • Increased test accuracy, independent of the human operator (different operators performed the test with different measurement errors),
  • The system is automatic.
