摘要:
The invention relates to an installation for optically inspecting containers (2) manufactured by a forming machine at the outlet of which the containers travel by means of a conveyor (5) past at least one inspection device (I) including at least one camera (10) mounted inside a support chamber (11). The installation includes a system for fastening the support chamber (11) on the conveyor (5) in such a manner that the support chamber (11) is positioned on one side of the conveyor and presents, below the conveyor, a low section (11b) in which the camera (10) is mounted, the support chamber (11) also presenting, above the conveyor, a high section (11h) provided with an observation port (15) and in which an optical deflector system (16) is mounted.

The invention is related to a method of producing glass products from glass product material. Said method comprises the steps of heating the glass product material, shaping the heated glass product material into a glass product, cooling the shaped glass product, and inspecting the shaped glass products by means of at least one sensor sensitive to infrared radiation In said inspecting step a first image of the glass product is taken under a first viewing angle. In addition a second image of said glass product is taken under a second viewing angle which is different from the first viewing angle. The first image is compared with the second image for eliminating parasite reflections. The first and second images are analyzed for detecting whether said glass product is defective or not. An assembly is described for performing said method of producing glass products from glass product material.

The invention provides a method of using at least one sensor sensitive to infrared radiation for inspecting hollow, transparent or translucent articles at high temperature leaving various different forming cavities. The method includes a step of evaluating the level of infrared radiation from the articles coming from the forming cavities so as to adapt the exposure of the sensor in a subsequent step of inspecting the articles in such a manner as to cause the response of the sensor to be uniform regardless of the different cavities from which the articles come.
摘要:
An opposed pair of inwardly facing radiant energy detecting sensors (20, 22) is positioned to sight on freshly formed glass containers (C) being conveyed on a side by side pair of conveyors (12, 14) to determine if any of the containers is misoriented from its desired orientation. Each sensor has a sharply focused fiber and lens assembly (24) that is focused to sense radiant energy in a cone of view no greater than 1null. A baffle (32) is positioned between the conveyors and in alignment with the opposed sensors, to isolate the sensors from radiant energy emitted by containers on the away conveyor.

A bottle inspection method is provided which is capable of compensating for random variations in the orientation and position of objects being inspected, such as glass bottles on a conveyor. The inspection device creates an image of the object and then analyzes the image to determine the amount of variation in orientation and position. The desired measurements are made from the image and then adjusted relative to the variation previously determined. Also provided is an improved housing for the imaging devices which eliminates the need for clear panels which are prone to dirtying.

A system and method are disclosed for monitoring hot glass containers at the hot end as they stream from an I.S. machine manufacturing them to enable their quality to be monitored, enhanced, and controlled. The system monitors radiation from the hot glass containers, extracts images of each hot glass container, analyzes the images of the hot glass containers, and provides the images of the hot glass containers together with information indicative of the quality thereof to a display screen viewable by an operator to enable the quick identification of glass forming process deviations and to occasion continuous improvements in glass container quality. The system and method are independent of conditions and parameters that have hampered previously known attempts to monitor hot glass containers, and make possible the production of glass containers of both high quality and substantially increased consistency.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method and system for monitoring and controlling a glass container forming process. The radiation emitted by each hot glass container is measured with measurement unit immediately after the forming machine. The described method normalizes the measurement from glass container to glass container and thereby removes the effects of overall temperature variations between glass containers, changing ambient conditions, and other variations affecting the measurements, which provides a unique quality reference for each glass container. By reviewing this reference for each produced glass container, the quality of the produced containers can be improved

The invention relates to a process for inspecting, by means of at least one sensor (6) sensitive to infrared radiation, hollow transparent or translucid objects (2) at high temperature leaving different moulding cavities (4). According to the invention, to inspect an object the infrared radiation taken into account for the sensitive sensor, and the infrared radiation reflected by said object and issuing from nearby infrared sources to said object are eliminated.

A camera based inspection system for inspecting glass bottles made in a glass-forming machine. A single picture shows the heat distribution of an inspected portion of the bottle over a period of time whereby the operator will see a loss of stability in the glass process.
摘要:
A mounting framework for mounting contactless testing devices for testing molded objects, in particular glass objects, at high temperature, comprises a rigid frame structure positioned above a conveyor belt on which glass bottles at high temperature move. The conveyor belt is driven with respect to a conveyor frame with an adjustable inclination in the same vertical plane. The mounting framework is placed astride above the belt. The framework comprises two units defining two parallel reference planes and constituting a nondeformable structure which is not connected to the frame of the conveyor and is supported on the ground by three jacks with controlled displacements. Three light sources emit light rays whose characteristics depend on the inclination of the conveyor belt. The light sources interact with networks of linear photodiodes capable of generating electrical signals for controlling the jacks in order to maintain the aforementioned reference planes of the framework continuously parallel to the plane of the conveyor belt whatever its inclination. A plurality of contactless testing devices may be mounted on the framework.
