Warp Metrology

Glass warp must be carefully monitored as excessive warp will impact scribing and panel lamination/life (high residual stresses will cause the panel to delaminate).  Incoming glass needs to be checked for panel warp after high temperature coating operations and lamination.

Dark Field Technologies is the FIRST to develop and prove an integrated solution for on-line panel warp measurement.  Proprietary laser sensors deliver thousands of data points for each panel.  NxtGen™ proprietary processing modules match the data points to the specifications and provide reject outputs for deviant panels.

Unique NxtGen™ Features and Benefits:

• First in the world on-line warp measurement system.
• On-line, real-time inspection at full production speed.
• Increase field life.
• Operator-friendly Windows® user interface.
• Communication links and digital outputs (Panel Reject).
