Quality Control

Automated quality control is standard practice in modern glass manufacturing — manual inspection cannot match the speed, consistency, or sensitivity of automated vision systems. Float glass inspection must detect inclusions, bubbles, and distortion; container glass inspection must detect stones, seeds, and dimensional non-conformities. We supply inline inspection and plant automation systems for glass plants.

What we supply

• Float glass inline inspection — bubble, inclusion, and cord detection
• Container glass electronic inspection — dimensional, cosmetic, and functional
• Thickness measurement systems — continuous online for float glass
• Optical distortion measurement for automotive and architectural glass
• Plant SCADA and production monitoring — pull rate, energy, quality KPIs
• Furnace control systems — temperature, atmosphere, level control
• Quality management systems — statistical process control and defect trending

How the project proceeds

1. Define the inspection requirement — defect types, detection sensitivity, and product specification
2. Select inline inspection technology matched to the glass product
3. Source hardware from qualified glass inspection equipment manufacturers
4. Support system installation, calibration, and qualification against the product standard

Why Infinity

Glass inspection equipment qualification requires reference samples with known defects — seeds, stones, or dimensional non-conformities of defined size. We source systems from manufacturers who supply certified reference samples and calibration procedures, enabling the system to be demonstrated compliant with the applicable glass standard.
