Innovative Technologies and Years of Experience in Glass Inspection.

A comprehensive catalog

• of telecentric measuring lenses,
• telecentric large-field lenses,
• microscope lenses,
• and entocentric lenses, combined with custom optical development or adaptation to your requirements, ensuring the shortest time-to-market and moderate batch sizes

Vision & Control also offers a wide selection of telecentric illuminations, ring, line, area, apot, and dome Illuminations.

If no suitable solution is available, the illumination can be adapted to specific requirements. The integration of illumination into an optical system is another component of our OEM services.

A guarantee that Vision & Control transforms the unique properties of light into innovative applications for glass inspection. Some optical phenomena only become visible through the mathematics in the background.

Our application team is happy to support you in implementing your inspection tasks.

A wide range of accessories and optical filters supports the development of solutions.

The highest precision in the measurement of pharmaceutical and container glass is achieved in transmitted light through the combination of telecentric optics and telecentric illuminations.

Especially for surfaces with optically critical properties and material characteristics—such as glass in general and pharmaceutical/container glass in particular—this combination delivers outstanding results despite strong reflections, optically active materials, and variable edge shapes.

By specifically utilizing the optical properties of glass, precise measurements of material thickness or wall thickness can be achieved without changing the viewing angle.

The use of linear or special circular polarization filters makes it possible to reveal many defects in glass or glass products.

Polarized light, in combination with polarization cameras, can make stress and strain states in glass visible. Here, too, the effect becomes apparent through calculations performed on.

Optical systems with adjustable focus or mounted on moving axes make inclusions or bubbles in glass visible.

Different types of glass within a single glass body can be made visible and even measured by combining telecentric optics with structured illumination.

Here, too, the optical properties of glass are specifically utilized.

Utilize the infrared radiation of glowing or hot glass for inspection at the hot end of glass production through imaging and processing in the SWIR wavelength range. Vision & Control develops, manufactures, and supplies the appropriate optics, cameras, and vicosys^® image processing systems. Our application team is happy to support you in implementing your inspection tasks.

Also utilizing the infrared radiation of hot bodies, thermal inspection with specialized thermal cameras (microbolometer cameras) enables both optical inspection tasks and precise measurement of temperatures and temperature gradients.

This technology allows the detection of infrared radiation in the MWIR and LWIR wavelength ranges.
In combination with the thermography function of our vicosys^® image processing systems, thermographic inspections can be performed and transmitted to the system control via an interface.

The special properties of pericentric lenses make it possible to optically inspect the top and sides of bottles and glass containers during production and filling.

Large depths can also be achieved through the use of wide field lenses.
