Apparatus for inspecting the seal of insulating glass panes
First Claim
1. Apparatus for inspecting the seal of insulating glass panes (1) in the zone of corners (4, 5, 6, 7) of an insulating glass pane (1), comprising at least one TV camera (12), located in the region of a delivery conveyor (3, 14) of a sealing facility for insulating glass panes, and at least one monitor (41) connected to the at least one camera (12) for displaying the stationary recorded images of corners (4, 5, 6, 7) of an insulating glass pane (1) recorded by the camera (12), the at least one camera (12) being provided in an interruption (16) beside the beginning (10) of the delivery conveyor (3, 14) through which a sealing nozzle (50) moves from a ready position into an operative position.

Abstract
An apparatus for conveying sealed insulating glass panes (1) includes a conveying device (3, 14) associated, in the zone of the end (10) on the inlet side and the end (11) on the outlet side, with recorders (12), preferably those with respectively two TV cameras, producing images of the corners (4, 5 , 6 , 7 ) of the insulating glass pane (1), these images being displayed as stationary images on a monitor (41) until the subsequent insulating glass pane (1) arrives. In order to improve the quality of the images, illuminating devices (15) are associated with the recorders (12), these devices being activated only when the recorders (12) are in operation. Based on the images of the corners (4 and 5) of the insulating glass pane (1) produced by the recorders (12) and displayed on the monitor (41), the quality of the seal (20) in the zone of the corners (4, 5, 6, 7) can be evaluated even without lifting out and turning of insulating glass panes (1).
