Glass Defect and Contour Scanner
LYNX-560
Scanner System for the Detection of Defects in Transparent Materials
The modular scanner system serves to detect even the smallest contaminations, inclusions and scratches in float glass sections as well as all other transparent materials.
The scanner can also be utilized to accurately measure the contours of transparent and other plate materials.
The scanner has an impressive measurement rate of up to 36m/min.
LYNX-560 consists of special LED-Light emitters and receptor modules. These pairs of modules are positioned opposite each other and are set to the desired maximum width making up the x- axis.
An encoder , mounted to the transport equipment , ensures synchronization in the y- axis.
The receptors are equipped with highly solvent CCDs, special filters. Fast DSPs (Digital Signal Processors) are integrated into each module and allow local data processing and data volume reduction. The opposite module pairs are connected via plug-in BUS cables.
An interface module ensures the central current supply for all modules and the data conversion for a simple connection to a PC.
