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

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 the outlet from the machine in a transfer direction (F) past at least a first inspection device (I), the containers being placed in succession on the conveyor plane (P) of a conveyor (5) of variable height or slope, the first inspection device (I) including at least one camera (10) mounted inside a support chamber (11), the installation being characterized in that it includes a system (13) for fastening the support chamber (11) of the first inspection device on the conveyor (5) in such a manner that the support chamber (11) is positioned on one side of the conveyor, presenting, below the conveyor plane (P), a low section (11b) in which the camera (10) is mounted so as not to be exposed directly to the radiation from the containers, the 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 the field of observation of the camera is directed through the observation port in order to inspect the traveling containers.
