Each of these SGG Polska glass processing companies use Softsolution's LineScanner system to inspect the quality of their finished insulating glass units. Working 24/7, the system documents quality to ensure that only the highest quality IG units leave the company premises.
[New partnership in tempered safety glass quality inspection]
With its Glass Thickness & Coating Sensor, the LineScanner inspects the entire process of building up the insulating glass unit, including the thicknesses of each individual glass pane, the distance between the panes and which surfaces the coatings are on. Strict quality criteria help to prevent defective assembled units from leaving the facility. At the same time, the LineScanner stores the scan data such as sightline check results, muntin angularity and other quality issues in a centralized data archive which can then be accessed in the future when dealing with customer complaints.
Sometimes looking is not enough
While the production line is running, the system displays the defects on the IG unit with pinpoint accuracy. Some defects are not always visible to the naked eye and locating such defects on a large pane of glass would be comparable to trying to locate a grain of rice on a soccer field.

The LineScanner highlights these defects on the unit which prevents the bad glass from slipping through while at the same time increasing the throughput by helping the operator perform his or her job quickly and reliably. Reducing defective units leaving the facility, helps to cut back on transportation costs.
