In the glass manufacturing industry, achieving high-precision manual measurements of glass panes can be a challenging task, especially for oversized panes, special shapes, or panes with internal processing.
However, LiSEC has introduced a solution to simplify and automate this process with the LiTEC Accurate quality control station, which features new suction cup technology.
So, how does this quality control station work? As the glass passes through the scanner, the suction cup axis informs the scanner of the exact longitudinal position of the glass. The scanner then combines the individual images into one and saves it for further analysis. This streamlined process ensures accurate measurements of the glass panes.
There are several advantages to utilizing accurate glass measurement in the production process. Firstly, the continuous automatic measurement of all panes in the production flow eliminates the need for constant manual intervention. Operators only need to step in if faults are detected, saving time and improving efficiency.
Additionally, the quality control station allows for the identification of production errors before delivery, ensuring that only high-quality glass products are sent out to customers. By rapidly detecting faulty processes, there are fewer affected end products, reducing waste and increasing overall productivity.
Furthermore, the station’s ability to compensate for tolerances through active corrections leads to increased process stability. This results in a more reliable production process and ensures that the final glass products meet the required quality standards.
In conclusion, the LiSEC LiTEC Accurate quality control station with new suction cup technology offers a practical and effective solution for high-precision glass measurement in the manufacturing industry. By automating the measurement process and providing real-time quality control, this innovative technology helps to streamline production processes, reduce errors, and improve overall product quality.
