Flat glass measurements
Immediately after moulding at the hot end, the TMF-FLX system measures the thickness of the flat glass in the area of the cooling conveyor at 600 °C. This measurement is taken from underneath due to the high temperatures. Having a basement area with a floor gap is therefore a requirement for installing the thickness measuring system. The challenging ambient conditions, such as heat, gases and thermal radiation, require the system to have a particularly robust design.
At the cold end, the TMF-FLX system measures the thickness and temperature of the flat glass after the controlled air cooling. If there is broken glass, the TMF-FLX system responds immediately by moving the measuring head into the parking position and switching the system off.
The thickness measuring system can be used to measure at specific points or traversing across the line. Moreover, the precise position of the measuring system at the hot and cold ends can be customized.
Offline thickness measurement with the LabTMC
Our compact measuring device can be used for quick and accurate quality control in laboratories or for sampling inspections at the hot or cold ends in manufacturing.
The sensors
The TMF-FLX system is designed such that our sensor for thickness measurement and our sensor for temperature measurement can be used in a modular system.
Low-maintenance
- No recalibration required over the product's entire lifetime
High-performance
- Can measure thickness even at low transmission
Measured values
The data is shown in a visual form to give users a quick overview and to enable reliable quality control and efficient process control
