IGU Scanner: Deltamax’s System for Finished Insulated Glass Unit Inspection

IGU Scanner: Deltamax’s System for Finished Insulated Glass Unit Inspection

More than 20 years alongside insulating glass manufacturers have given Deltamax a deep understanding of production processes, quality challenges, and the real needs of operators working on the line every day. This expertise drives the development of inspection solutions designed to deliver tangible support in quality control, starting with the latest IGU Scanner update, Deltamax’s system for the inspection of finished insulated glass units.

Combining accuracy, reliability and flexibility, IGU Scanner detects the most common glass and process defects while verifying key quality parameters of the finished product, including spacer positioning, butyl presence along the edges, butyl contamination in the transparent area, and other critical quality aspects of the insulated glass unit.

These checks matter because even small inconsistencies in spacer alignment or butyl sealing can compromise the long-term performance of an insulating glass unit, affecting thermal insulation, moisture resistance and structural durability over time. Catching these issues automatically, rather than relying on visual inspection alone, allows manufacturers to address problems before units leave the production line, rather than facing costly returns or complaints after installation.

Designed to adapt to different production requirements, the system can be integrated in two ways: as an enhancement to the traditional inspection of individual glass panes after the washing machine, or on a dedicated line for the direct inspection of finished insulated glass units. This flexibility means manufacturers can introduce automated quality control at the stage that best fits their existing production layout, without needing to redesign the entire line.

Two decades of field experience have gone into technology built to help manufacturers achieve the highest quality standards and deliver defect-free insulated glass units with confidence.

This latest IGU Scanner update was recently showcased at Wolf Fenster in Pergine Valsugana (TN), Italy.
