J.M. Canty Float Glass Industrial High Temperature Camera

ABLE Instruments are J.M Canty’s Exclusive Representative for Sales and Service in the UK, including the J.M. Canty Float Glass Industrial High Temperature Camera. The J.M. Canty Float Glass High-Temperature Industrial Camera System is purpose-built for real-time monitoring and measurement in the demanding environment of float glass manufacturing. It features a high-temperature Ethernet process camera, paired with specialised software that reduces glare, ensuring a consistently clear, accurate view of the glass ribbon during production.

At the heart of the system is a custom orifice plate designed to prevent debris accumulation on the lens, maintaining uninterrupted visual clarity even under intense heat. The camera is mounted in a non-contact configuration, enabling continuous web width measurement as the glass exits the furnace and enters the Lehr annealing chamber.

Features:

• No Cooling Air Required – Air is used only for cleaning, not for cooling
• Disposable Quartz Protective Shield – Offers extra protection for the lens
• High-Temperature Furnace Lens – Models can withstand temperatures up to 2500°F
• Auto Electronic Iris – Automatically adjusts for optimal image quality
• High-Quality Quartz Optics – Provides superior image clarity and precision
• Fused Glass Seal – Separates electronics from the process for added safety
• Insertion Lens – Available in lengths up to 36 inches for flexible use
• Non-Blooming CCD Cameras – Ideal for clear imaging in high-temperature environments

Using CantyVision™ Client Software, the system provides high-resolution edge tracking with a precision of 0.015″, capturing the extreme edge of the glass ribbon and the edge of the knurled region formed by the top roll machines in the float bath. These rolls play a critical role in shaping and stabilising the ribbon, and the system offers continuous, real-time feedback for precise width control and process optimisation.
