ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for inspecting articles of glassware at a plurality of angularly spaced inspection stations includes a conveyor that moves articles of glassware to and from inspection stations, a drive roller that rotates articles of glassware at at least one inspection station, and an inspection device spaced from an inspection station and adapted to inspect an article of glassware as it is moved by the conveyor and caused to pass by the inspection device. A method for inspecting articles of glassware at a plurality of angularly spaced inspection stations includes the steps of moving the articles of glassware to and from the inspection stations, rotating the articles of glassware about an axis at at least one inspection station, inspecting the articles of glassware while they are rotating, stopping the rotation about the axis of the articles of glassware, moving the articles of glassware away from said at least one inspection station without rotating the articles of glassware about said axis, and inspecting the articles of glassware as they are moved.
