The invention relates to an installation for optically inspecting containers () manufactured by a forming machine at the outlet of which the containers travel by means of a conveyor () past at least one inspection device (I) including at least one camera () mounted inside a support chamber (). The installation includes a system for fastening the support chamber () on the conveyor () in such a manner that the support chamber () is positioned on one side of the conveyor and presents, below the conveyor, a low section () in which the camera () is mounted, the support chamber () also presenting, above the conveyor, a high section () provided with an observation port () and in which an optical deflector system () is mounted.

Installation for optical inspection of glass containers at the outlet of a forming machine

The invention provides a device for optically inspecting high temperature glass containers (), the device comprising a lighting system () having a light-emitting surface that is adapted to emit both: a 'flash' first light flux during a flash duration of less than 1 ms and at a wavelength longer than 650 nm; and also a 'bottle-scanning' second light flux having wavelengths shorter than 650 nm and for a duration of not less than 2 s, the lighting system () being controlled: to emit the flash light flux so that the camera can take images of each container while back-lit by said flash light flux; and to emit the &#x201c;bottle-scanning&#x201d; light flux that is perceived by a human eye as being continuous.
