The clearly arranged user interface immediately displays defect data and calculated quality
Vitro Architectural Glass strengthens its quality assurance process by installing four new optical inspection systems from ISRA Vision. The North-America based glass giant decided to take the inspection of Magnetron coated glass sheets to the next level: using the fully automated P2-Coating and P2-Color systems, Vitro ensures virtually perfect glass surfaces – for products free of debris, scratches, coating inhomogenities and many more defects that occur when low emissivity coatings are applied.
Vitro’s goal is to provide the highest quality architectural coated glass in the industry, which prompted the company to begin looking for a way to ensure quality consistency across all of its manufacturing locations. Installing the P2-Coating systems meant solving several problems with a single solution: “The PowerPlate systems have made product quality more consistent from day to day and across all of our production lines,” explains Joe Koepfinger, Senior Staff Engineer at Vitro. According to Koepfinger, production waste was also successfully reduced.
ISRA uses the most advanced technology with camera based inspection that detects even the smallest deviations or defects that lead to production and quality issues. Employing multiple cameras and light sources positioned on both sides of the glass, P2-Coating scans the glass surface to identify defects far more precisely and efficiently than manual inspection can. When the rejection criteria have been exceeded, the entire piece...
