Abstract
A device for crizzle detection, provided with a means for rotating a glass container placed at an inspection position, a data collecting means which has N light projectors and M light receivers arranged on a generally semispherical mointing jig around the mouth or thread of the glass container and which is adapted to collect N×M pieces of data for each scan over the glass container, a means for rearranging the collected data, and a means for differentiating the rearranged data. At regular intervals or each time a predetermined number of glass containers have passed, data on acceptable containers for all or part of N×M channels are automatically collected to update the threshold values initially registered for acceptable containers based on the collected data. Thus, the rate of detection of crizzled glass containers in not lowered.
