The Nowak Glas factory in Wattenscheid in western Germany has a strong focus on insulating glass and the many kinds of safety glass that are available. Recently, a horizontal Viprotron ECO Scanner system was installed to optimise the production of laminated glass and keep high quality standards. Its compact size made a retro-fit installation in the existing Benteler-line very easy. Only two camera heads cover the width of 2,80 metres.

These were put into operation last summer and offered great results from the beginning. The Scanners inspect every single pane of glass that comes out of the washing machine for scratches, bubbles, dirt and fingerprints etc. A large screen shows results and defect positions in real time. Defective panes are sorted out to make sure none of them are processed into laminated glass.
The quality check using the ECO Scanner system assures a much better and more reliable output than any visual inspection ever could. It is a solution that saves both time and cost during the production process and allows the best product quality possible.
