Inline inspection of film position on laminated safety glass
Detect film overhang, underhang, film residue and foreign objects at the glass edge during production. A scanCONTROL 8500-100 4K laser scanner inspects the moving glass edge and uses optical contrast from birefringence to distinguish film from glass; the SMART sensor can stop the downstream process via PLC when a limit is violated.

Application challenge
Detect film overhang, underhang, film residue and foreign objects at the glass edge during production.
Measurement conditions
The sensor is positioned above the laterally moving glass edge and targets the film.
Measurement method and system
A scanCONTROL 8500-100 4K laser scanner inspects the moving glass edge and uses optical contrast from birefringence to distinguish film from glass; the SMART sensor can stop the downstream process via PLC when a limit is violated.
System components named by the manufacturer
- scanCONTROL 8500-100
Result
The source reports early detection of deviations and reduced scrap from incorrect film positioning.
