Precise defect detection for reliable quality classification

The surface inspection system FPM-Inspect checks thin glass substrates using various illumination channels and high-resolution cameras. It guarantees reliable quality classification and ensures that customers receive only flawless material.

The system can combine up to three inspection tasks: 

• High-resolution detection of typical glass and surface defects: FPM-Inspect reliably detects and classifies even the tiniest defects like cullets, dents, PT needles, inclusions, or bubbles.

• Detection of even the tiniest scratches; the illumination system is specifically designed for detection of scratches independent on orientation. 

• Particle counting: The integrated particle illumination system allows FPM-Inspect to detect all sub-µm particles.

This 3-in-1 solution saves space and operating costs by eliminating the need for additional inspection systems. The additional products FPM-Edge and FPM-Review complete the inspection line with edge inspection and an automatic microscope for defect review.

• Complete product range for surface and edge inspection, plus review station

• Extremely short inspection line for thin glass substrates

• Improved classification due to defect information from multiple optical channels

• Detection of even the tiniest scratches
