The invention relates to an installation for optically inspecting containers (2) manufactured by a forming machine at the outlet of which the containers travel by means of a conveyor (5) past at least one inspection device (I) including at least one camera (10) mounted inside a support chamber (11). The installation includes a system for fastening the support chamber (11) on the conveyor (5) in such a manner that the support chamber (11) is positioned on one side of the conveyor and presents, below the conveyor, a low section (11b) in which the camera (10) is mounted, the support chamber (11) also presenting, above the conveyor, a high section (11h) provided with an observation port (15) and in which an optical deflector system (16) is mounted.
An installation for optically inspecting glass containers (2) at high temperature as manufactured by a forming machine (3) with the containers traveling at a high rate at an outlet from the forming machine in a transfer direction (F) past at least a first inspection device (I), the containers being placed in succession on a conveyor plane (P) of a conveyor (5) of variable height or slope, the conveyor having a stationary structure (5a) standing on a floor(S), the first inspection device (I) including at least one first inspection device camera (10) mounted inside a first inspection device support chamber (11), the installation further comprising a system (13) for fastening the first inspection device support chamber (11) on the stationary structure of the conveyor (5) in such a manner that the first inspection device support chamber (11) is positioned on one side of the conveyor, presenting, below the conveyor plane (P), a low section (11b) in which the at least one first inspection device camera (10) is mounted so as not to be exposed directly to radiation from the containers, the first inspection device support chamber (11) also presenting, above the conveyor plane (P), a high section (11h) provided with an observation port (15) and having mounted therein an optical deflector system (16) so that a field of observation of the at least one first inspection device camera is directed through the observation port in order to inspect the containers when traveling.
