Intercept defects before shipment.
Hawk™ 4 is a high-resolution camera-based inspection system. The Hawk inspects both front and rear surfaces of monolithic or laminated glass as it moves down the fabrication line
» Key Application: Tempering Lines, Coating Lines, IG Lines
High-resolution cameras find all defect types in dark field & bright field dual lighting systems
Defects are graded based on easy-to-use criteria
Defects are displayed on the screen when the part arrives at the inspection station or past a certain point on the conveyor
