High-precision manual measurement of glass panes is difficult for rectangular panes up to a certain size – and almost impossible for oversized panes, special shapes or panes with internal processing (such as holes and cut-outs). LiSEC‘s LiTEC Accurate quality control station with new suction cup technology was developed to simplify and automate this process.
How the quality control station works
- The glass is measured as it passes through the scanner.
- The suction cup axis informs the scanner of the exact longitudinal position of the glass
- The scanner combines the individual images into one and saves it for further analysis
What are the advantages of accurate glass measurement in the production
- Continuous automatic measurement of all panes in the production flow
- Operator intervention only necessary if faults are detected
- Identification of production errors before delivery
- Rapid detection of faulty processes, and therefore fewer affected end products
- Compensation of tolerances through active corrections
- Increased process stability
