Today's inspection solution

The FleXinspect M - gen III is a servo-indexing, rotary inspection system designed to be a drop in replacement for many of the well know mechanical machines of the past.

The FleXinspect M - gen III gives glass manufacturers the potential to reduce the cold end footprint by combining multiple inspections within a single machine frame. The unique design of the servo-driven handling devices allows accurate reliable inspections not historically associated with rotary inspection machines.
