Cold End Inspection
SELF-LEARNING, COLD-END INSPECTION SYSTEMS
We’ve come a long way since we paved the way more than 10 years ago with the Atlas, a camera-based check detection, with automatic settings adapting themselves to the production changes.
Tiama has never stopped improving its various machines, which led to it’s range being the most trusted and widely distributed cold end inspection machines on the market. Today, Tiama has taken the next steps with Big Data analysis and deep learning features to increase the predictability of glass production. The result: a self-learning inspection systems range with sensors providing precise measurements that, combined with our software solutions, closes loops.

Benefits & Features
The MCAL 4 AI revolutionizes the performance of inspection machines and drastically simplifies their usage:
- The adjustable shoulder cameras ensure a cover of the ring and shoulder regardless of the height of the article.
- The 3D mask and dynamic zones ensure optimal control of articles with engraving.
- It maximizes defect detection performance and runs inspection of the entire container, reducing the exposure to critical defects
- Thanks to a better identification of acceptable defects like brush marks, black spots or mold seams, wide amounts of sellable containers can be kept
- By providing a meaningful glass-type name to all defects, AI provides insights to understand and adjust the glass making process
- Only 2 simple parameters are required to set it up, making it faster and easier to proceed job changes compared to standard vision algorithms
Operating principle
Adapted to all users: with easy settings, user-friendly
interface.
- Job change time saving with AI.
- Fully compatible with the MULTI4.
- 24’’ inch HD screens.

Tiama MCAL 4 AI & MULTI 4 AI
In addition to quality control, this high-tech equipment offers several useful features for both the cold end:
- The possibility of associating Mcal and Multi defects with mold numbers.
- Automated quality control with virtual samples.
- Continuous backup of images and sample test results history to track your production.
Defects and measurements are associated with the mold number and process-mounted information

Operating principle
To ensure the integration of all the measurement and control stations in one single framework.
MX 4 combines up to 7 control stations, 6 of which are rotating ones. Each detection can be positioned independently in accordance with customer needs.
All forms of glass containers are inspected on a motorized servo platform.
A single or double infeed screw and a specific guide allow the containers to arrive in a simple, stable and safe manner.
Next, the carrousel allows the glass containers to be accommodated on rotating stations which can be adjusted according to the height, diameter. All inspections are performed independently thanks to all integrated detections system.
Finally, the outfeed system is made in a very smooth manner, in particular with a standard motorized foam roller with belts.

&
The inspection range is one of the cornerstones of your YOUniverse. It gathers sensors that provides a huge amount of measures from 100% of the production.
For example the MX4 provides (shares) precise measurements and data of 100% of the production, linked to the section/cavity, to optimize productivity and gain process control
All the data, including datamatrix information, is collected, displayed and analyzed to offer high value to glassmakers and help them to take the right decisions, on time, to master their process.
