STONE DETECTION
On a float glass line with glass coating taking place, an ExtremeTemp™ camera is mounted in the upper region of the tin bath, to not only provide an unrivalled view inside the process, but also to automatically detect the presence of foreign objects (stones from refractory, insulation etc.) on the glass surface. If undetected, these foreign objects move downstream where they can become lodged on the coater, and cause scratches and imperfections on the glass as it passes by.
Product Description
- The ExtremeTemp™ camera allows for process temperatures up to 3000°F (1650°C)
- A positive gas (air/nitrogen) flow ensures the view remains clear at all times
- Vector Control Module analyzes the Gigabit Ethernet camera image to detect stones and digitally outputs alarms
