At the Hot End XPAR Vision’s IR-D system detects the intensity of infrared radiation emitted by the hot glass containers. The pre-conditional IR-D measures the intensity of each single glass container where the IGC relates this measurement to the weight of the related gob. Any deviations in gob weight are automatically compensated by the IGC in adjusting the position of the tube.
The IGC ensures a constant weight of the cut gobs, thus eliminating an important source of process variation.
Connected to the company’s network the IGC and IR-D enable remote access for production specialists to review the status of the forming process and apply changes to settings and configurations.
