Thickness Gauge

The TG system provides a generic one-stop solution for the measurement of glass thickness with the following features:

 

• Horizontal or vertical configurations
• Hot or cold end location
• Continuous scan or fixed position modes
• Glass edge position reporting
• Stress measurement module integration

 

Principle of Operation

• Confocal sensor with controller
• Wide range of thicknesses
• User configurable sweep/spot reading options
• SQL database support

 

Measurement & Display Options

• Cross-web thickness profile
• Longitudinal thickness profile
• 2D thickness zone map
• Edge position trends
• Temperature profiles
• Optional stress module

 

Benefits

• Repeatable & robust measurements
  -24/7 operation
  -More effective use of manpower
• Feedback to production & maintenance teams
  -Optimise product thickness
  -Detect thickness variations
  -Detect ribbon shifts
• Prevent
  -Waste incurred in making glass too thick
  -Issues related to ribbon position
