Industry Application

Machine Vision For Display Glass and Film

Transparent and semi transparent web material where the defect you are looking for transmits almost as much light as the good product around it.

Industry Pain Points

Why These Parts Are Hard To Image

  • Glass is transparent and highly reflective at the same time, so a single lighting angle rarely works.
  • Internal foreign material and tiny bubbles only appear under controlled dark field or bright field conditions.
  • Film moves fast and continuously, so illumination has to be uniform across the full web width.
  • LCD and OLED panels show mura and scratches that depend entirely on the angle of incidence.

Solution Process

How A Project Runs From Enquiry To Delivery

Send The Part And The Target

A photo of the part, the defect you need to catch, the field of view and the line speed.

Lighting And Optics Proposal

Our design engineers propose a lighting geometry, a lens format and a camera that hold together as one chain.

Sample Or Custom Build

Standard parts ship from catalogue. Custom lighting samples are normally provided within 10 working days.

Validation On Your Part

You prove the image on the real part. Where the geometry needs changing, the design is revised before volume.

Supply And Repeat Orders

Once the model is fixed, repeat orders reference the same model number and the same imaging result.

Delivery Capability

What We Commit To

  • More than 20 experienced customized design engineers for lighting and optics design.
  • Most customised products provided within two weeks.
  • Urgent customised demand shortened to around five days.
  • Customised lighting samples normally provided within 10 working days.
  • Most focal lenses shipped within three days.
  • Lending samples for test available on the telecentric line scan lens range.

FAQ

Display Glass and Film FAQ

Which component range matters most for display glass and film
Lighting usually decides whether the defect is visible at all, so it is the first thing to fix. The relevant ranges for this industry are led machine vision lights, line scan lenses, telecentric line scan lenses.
Are these applications published or estimated
Published. Every task in the application list on this page is taken from the application notes for a specific SBS Vision product series.
Can the lighting be designed for our exact part
Yes. More than 20 lighting and optics design engineers work on customised builds. Most custom products are provided within two weeks and samples of customised lighting within 10 working days.
How do I start
Send a photo of the part and one sentence describing the defect through WhatsApp or email. A lighting geometry suggestion normally comes back on the same thread.
