Flatscreens Under Close Scrutiny: Basler Inspection Systems in TFT Display Production

From Basler Vision Components
 

 
Ahrensburg, June 2005 - Driven by its innovative technology, Basler has assumed market leadership in the flatscreen glass inspection segment. Its tailored systems are used by vendors of primary products for the flatscreen industry where they are mainly deployed for inspection of glass substrates before these are layered in subsequent production processes and configured in the end product. Basler is continually working on the development of high value, reliable inspection systems for other production phases. The highly sensitive primary glass can now reach a maximum size of 220 cm x 190 cm and is less than one millimetre thin. Inspection is carried out "inline" within the production process itself using up to 64 high-performance digital cameras. These cameras can reliably locate flaws of less than one 20 thousandth of a millimetre in just a few seconds and classify them according to their key differential characteristics. This kind of automatic inspection enables not merely classification of the glass in various types of quality but also allows for dynamic learning of the production process itself as subsequent readjustment of production settings eliminates the further occurrence of identified flaws. Such yield management significantly enhances production efficiency.
