Abstract: The invention relates to a device for inspecting in transmission glass-wall containers (2) including at least one driven elementary source (5) constituted by a light-emitting diode (6) with at least two juxtaposed dies (7) emitting light radiation in different spectral emission bands which are a function of the transmission spectra of families of glass container tints, each spectral emission band of a die being limited to a spectral transmission band (Zt) suitable for the inspection in transmission for at least one family of glass container tints, excluding the spectral absorption bands (Za) for this family of glass container tints and in that the device comprises an electronic power supply device (15) independently controlling each die (7) of each elementary source (3).

Abstract: A station for detecting glass disease-type defects in a segment of containers includes: a non-deformable support on which the projectors and the imagers are mounted by a complete connection so as to fix beam directions of the projectors and the optical axes of the imagers; several sets of projectors each include at least six projectors whose beam direction is tangent to a cylinder with a diameter included in a determined range of diameters; an electronic system configured to inspect the containers falling within all of the ranges of diameters, such that during inspection of the containers whose segment diameter to be inspected is included in the range of diameters of a set, the electronic system ensures acquisition of at least six images of each container when it passes through the inspection area by selectively activating the at least six imagers simultaneously with the associated projectors of said set.

Abstract: The invention provides a device for optically inspecting high temperature glass containers (2), the device comprising a lighting system (7) having a light-emitting surface that is adapted to emit both: a “flash” first light flux during a flash duration of less than 1 ms and at a wavelength longer than 650 nm; and also a “bottle-scanning” second light flux having wavelengths shorter than 650 nm and for a duration of not less than 2 s, the lighting system (7) being controlled: to emit the flash light flux so that the camera can take images of each container while back-lit by said flash light flux; and to emit the “bottle-scanning” light flux that is perceived by a human eye as being continuous.
