Traditional PID Control Strategy

PID control is applied to loops that typically have fastresponse times. Traditional PID control works on errorfrom setpoint. For example, in a forehearth, a sensoris placed at the exit of each forehearth zone to mea-sure glass temperature as it exits the zone. The sensorrelays data to a PID controller, which adjusts the heatin an attempt to bring the glass temperature back to setpoint. As the moltenglass travels through each forehearth chamber, respective controllers continueto “play catch up.” The result tends to be a lengthy recovery time, during whichproduction values decrease. .

08/17/2010 Minimum waste within an optimum productionsequence:DynOpt Software from ALBAT+WIRSAM OptimizesContinuous-Flow Production

Fully-automatically, in any desired sequence, A+W’sDynOpt achieves highest material yield in the modernproduction environment. Steering state-of-the-art sort-ing and dynamic buffer systems like HEGLA SortJetand BYSTRONIC first’sort, DynOpt’s flexible configu-ration can be implemented according to the requirements of any production op-eration, as a fully-automated, closed-circuit system on-line, or in combinationwith an intermediate buffer. Simple in concept, revolutionary in results: DynOptreduces raw material input across the board, even eliminating residue platescompletely with the most frequent glass types. Labor, too, is reduced to a mini-mum: only one operator is needed to oversee and support an entire optimizationscheme. Within this constant stream of glass, the just-in-time handling of break-age and the integration of rush jobs are significantly improved. ALBAT+WIRSAMhas finally tamed the high-waste factor in just-in-time production, and as a bonus,eased the accompanying job organization pressures which plague every mod-ern glass facility today.

08/17/2010 ALBAT+WIRSAM: Automation in the Glass Industry

The speed at which glass processing machinery re-places manual processes by automatic ones, is trulybreathtaking.The useful these individual functions are: They are notenough to achieve the full saving poten¬tial. To use thenew possibilities to the best effect, the entire processchain has to be adjusted to produce a constant flow ofmaterial, permitting quick reactions in case of emergency.ALBAT+WIRSAM links the individual technologies in one interactive network.The elements in the cutting area for instance exchange information real-timewith the components of the IG line. The material flow is adjusted real-time. Thishelps to achieve the original, actual aim of automa¬tion: A constant stream ofglass. Even for medium-sized companies, ALBAT+WIRSAM and their machin-ery partners achieve the feat to run IG productions with just 3-4 persons pershift – including float and laminated glass cutting. All machinery required forproducing triple IG like sheet turning devices, are of course integrated in thenetworked control of the production environment. The staff of these compa-nies do not carry sheets or stacks of papers – they control and monitor the pro-duction. ALBAT+WIRSAM realises similar automation processes in the field oftoughened glass, laminated glass, and processing.With this state-of-the-art production software, ALBAT+WIRSAM links the ma-chinery of all the leading manufacturers. With ALBAT+WIRSAM as their partner,customers just choose the tech¬nologies best suited to him – we will take careof the networking!ERP and order entry: Ready for new market requirementsALFAK is a proven ERP system which has been improved and adapted all thetime to our cus¬tomer’s needs. Its current version can handle triple IG – evenmultiple IG – the structure, layers etc. of which can of course be displayed. Bypopular request, the input of laminated glass has been improved: As for IG input,the structure is visualised by pictograms; changes of the product structure likethe addition, removal, or amendment of glass or film layers are easily made inthe bill of material; the same applies to the prices of the individual elements.These are just a few of our highlights 2010 – we should be pleased to welcome

08/17/2010 Five Questions Glass Processors should ask BEFOREinvesting in Integrated Software Technology

Manufacturers are always looking for ways to improveefficiency & profits. Increased competition in the mar-ketplace causes added stress amongst top managersto increase revenues in the most organized, cost effec-tive way. How are top flat glass, window and door com-paniesmanaging to increase production and overcomecostly production deficits in their operations? They areturning towards new technology and investing in Integrated ERP /PPS SoftwareSolutions and creating one central platform to control, organize, and maintain allaspects of their production flow from start to finish. Selecting the right softwarecompany for such a project is critical. It all boils down to doing your home-work/research. First you must identify needs and the unique challenges yourcompany faces. Then you need to evaluate the software solutions on the marketspecifically for Glass Processing and Window +Door Manufacturing. Whichevercompany you select, they will become a life-long partner working directly withyour business, assisting in automating your production processes; positioningyour organization for future growth. The last thing you want is to spend thou-sands on a software system, only to find out later on that it does not meet yourexpectations or the comprehensive needs of your business. We encourage youto ask these 5 important questions when considering a software proposal: 1.Is the software you’re evaluating a truly Integrated ERP /PPS Solution? This isthe #1 question you should ask before investing time with a software company.Why? Because there are only a handful of companies on the market specializedin software solutions exclusively for Glass, Window + Door Manufacturing. Youwant a system that has your industry know-how behind it and is adaptable to thegrowing need of the industry.Why is this important? You want to invest in a system that is flexible and can in-tegrate with any other systems you are operating, avoiding having to reconfigureor spend hours on expensive staff training. The new system should be able to tieinto any current system, support one-time entry of data (at order entry) for all sub-sequent applications, and circulate it continuously throughout all cells. Depart-ments should be able to access information electronically at anytime, eliminatingpaper trails. Finally, you want the certainty of working on a single, Microsoft SQLbased platform. 2. Who are the software developers? How financially sound isthe company, and will they be around to take care of things if they go wrong?



You’re about to make a major investment in a complete ERP solution to main-tain your company’s flow of information and streamline your entire productionoperations. Shouldn’t you know the company’s history and be sure they have asound knowledge of your industry? Ask about their track record, case studiesand testimonials from satisfied clients. Schedule a live demonstration onsite. 3.What kind of technical support is offered? All software companies should havea highly qualified technical team to support clients through every step of the im-plementation process, and assist afterwards when needed. Technicians whoknow the software and communicate well with your team can quickly resolveproblems and make sure all systems are properly functioning. 4. How long willthe implementation process take? A successful ERP Solution installation is notcompleted in a matter of days. Be cautious if a company promises to do so! Toimplement a truly Integrated ERP system, it will take a few months at minimum,depending on the unique challenges you’re facing. 5. How much does it cost?This question is very important when you’re looking at a budget and ROI. Ask it!It’s important that the vendor has a clear picture of your goals, needs and currentoperations. This will assist him in providing you with an accurate cost/ROI as-sessment. The more detailed the offer, the better you’ll know that the softwarewill fulfill your expectations. Beware of a vendor who offers you a system basedsolely on price, and not on the tasks the system is expected to do to secure yourcompany’s future growth:Choosing the right software system is like buying a car. Any one will get youfrom point A to point B. But, if you do a little homework in preparation, the sys-tem you ultimately choose will be reliable, save you money and grow with yourenterprise. Everyone in the Glass Processing industry faces similar challenges.Do these still apply to you? A. Inefficient “paperwork” data flow B. High errorrate at order entry and from dealers C. High waste, scrap and inventory costsD. Hit a plateau with new customers and dealer s E. A combination of any of theabove If any of these problems are typical of your organization, you may wantto consider evaluating some Integrated ERP and PPS Software vendors on themarket, and develop a strategic plan for overcoming them. Many vendors offerfree workshops and live demonstrations, so you can see their software capabili-ties first hand. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your current software systemor introduce your company to its first Integrated Software Solution, you are now5 steps closer to streamlining your production processes and operation!Link to our websites: /www.a-w.de www.glaston.net

08/18/2010 High Tech Lego on the Magical Board: Composing andVisualising Production Environments Within Seconds

No scrawled sketches on paper for visualising production environments, vari-



ants, and networked solutions: On the Glaston stand, ALBAT+WIRSAM is goingto present a virtual construction kit con-taining modules such as machinery, el-ements, and IT tools for composing, rearranging, and re-inventing the desiredsolutions. With just a couple of movements and the right instinct we will ‚build’a model of your production line, a layout for a production hall, or a completeproject to work on together: moving elements, adding a transport belt, a labelprinter, a rotating device. Of course you can try it out yourself because it is notonly useful but also a lot of fun – after a short training session you will feel justlike Harry Potter. We are not going to tell you how exactly this works because itshall be a surprise after all. Just this: Visualisation has the size of a slide show,with high resolution, and true to scale. You want to bring your own Lego bricks?No problem. Just bring your technical drawings in JPEG or PDF format – wewill adjust the scale and integrate your material. We shall be pleased to discussthe scenarios created as well as their possible realisation in a follow-up meetingat your premises. Be prepared for a completely new planning and visualisationexperience – on the Glaston / AL-BAT+WIRSAM stand in hall 14, stand B 40.www.a-w.de www.glaston.net [email protected]

08/17/2010 In record time: Production control with ALCIM atSEMCOGLAS Glastechnik Nordhorn

In record time: Production control with ALCIM at SEM-COGLAS Glastechnik Nordhorn May 2009: In Nord-horn, Semcoglas Glastechnik are producing tough-ened and laminated glass of the utmost productiondepth. The new, ultra modern processing machineryis meant for the produc¬tion of safety glass units of upto 2,80 x 6 metres in size. Optimum quality combined with highest de¬liverycapacity – the machinery is meant for the job, the staff is highly qualified. Still,the processes of this sophisticated production have to be controlled with utmostprecision to ensure that the production machinery work in tune, down times areavoided, and all processes of this multi-step production are perfectly synchro-nised. Branch manager Stefan Herrmann says: „The workers are not supposedto run all over the place looking for information but shall be able to get the infor-mation they need for the present step right at their workplace.“ In the spring of2009 it became clear that the software Semcoglas were using at that time couldnot cope with these requirements. The Semcoglas management team decidedto make a radical cut: Semcoglas Glastechnik will introduce a software systemfor production planning and control that permits to establish a slim yet quick in-formation network. In the fully networked environment, not only the productionmachinery shall be controlled online: According to the information philosophydefined by Stefan Herrmann, all necessary product and processing information



shall be available online, displayed on monitors at all pre-processing machines,silk screening and coating lines, toughening furnaces, and laminated glass pro-duction.After a thorough check of all available options, the decision was made for AL-BAT + WIRSAM’s pro-duction planning and control system ALCIM. Parallel withthe production software, the ERP system ALFAK shall be implemented for ad-ministration and order processing, thus ensuring a smooth and reliable flow ofinformation between administration and the shop floor.Time is running out because the high-tech production shall run as soon as pos-sible at full throttle. Together with the A+W partners, Semcoglas decided to em-bark on a demanding ‚lightning project‘: Within just three months, the completeALCIM system including the information system ToolTV on all terminals and anoverall capture of production data shall be implemented. In October, SemcoglasGlastechnik shall be working with only one type of production papers, with justa few exceptions: the label. Based on barcode registration, the sheet shape,layers, necessary processing steps – simply all necessary information will beclearly displayed at the terminal monitors.Overall barcoding: This means also that by means of barcode-based sheettracking, a sheet’s proc-essing state and whereabouts will be known at all times.The flow of goods and material is highly complex: It may take two to fifteendays (in extreme cases) for a sheet to pass all processing steps at SemcoglasGlastechnik. Customers asking ‚Where is my sheet?‘ have to get precise an-swers, every time they ask – customers can expect this service. Since Sem-coglas Glastechnik registers every single proc¬essing step, this information isavailable all the time, even to the order entry staff.October 2009: With a joint effort, Semcoglas and ALBAT+WIRSAM have madea precision landing. „On 1 October“, Stefan Herrmann states, „ the system wentonline, and we have cut the first sheets with the help of the new software. Ithas been hard work up to that point, but from day one on we have been able towork. We have been able to cut glass and control all machines so that we couldgo on supplying our customers with sheets.

CAM-DXF

Quite often, the efficiency and performance of state-of-the-art CNC processing centres are not used to the besteffect because manual programming of machines re-sults in a loss of time and flexibility while opening up un-necessary sources of error. Clever interaction of soft-ware and machines however means that input of thesheet geometry will automatically create the data for machine control (tools,suction cup positioning) which are then transferred via the control unit ToolTV /CAMDXF to the CNC centre, together with the geometrical sheet data.



Added value of using CAM-DXF:

→ Increased output

→ Prevention of input errors

→ Faster ROI for your investment

Practice shows that with this method, machine operators can operate two CNClines simultaneously. Needless to say that the operator can edit the data sug-gested by the system if required.

CAM-DXF has been designed so that it can be supported by all machinery man-ufacturers. CAM-DXF is currently used with BAVELLONI, LISEC, FORVET, andINTERMAC-Machinery.


ALCIM

A+W PPS ALCIM

is a comprehensive production planning and controlsystem for IG, toughened, and laminated glass, andmulti-step production.

ALCIM provides you with all the necessary tools for planning and controllingyour production. Individual configurations may include e.g. integrated monitor-ing, production support via monitor display, tracking of sheets, and CNC controlbased on barcode scans as well as a complete production data collection.



Shaping & Nesting

CAD for the glass industry Shaping & Nesting is used toenter geometric shape data, either directly, via dimen-sioned sketches or co-ordinates, by importing externalCAD data, or by digitising templates. From these data,Shaping & Nesting creates CNC codes for cutting linesand processing machinery such as positioning param-eters, grinding codes, drilling instructions, as well as sketches for commercialpaperwork and production. Furthermore, Shaping & Nesting transfers the datato ALBAT+WIRSAM’s optimisation systems (e.g. ALCIM, XOPT2000).


ALCIM Networked Production

ALBAT+WIRSAM:Automation in the Glass Industry

The speed at which glass processing machinery re-places manual processes by automatic ones, is trulybreathtaking.

The useful these individual functions are: They are not enough to achieve the fullsaving potential. To use the new possibilities to the best effect, the entire processchain has to be adjusted to produce a constant flow of material, permitting quickreactions in case of emergency.

ALBAT+WIRSAM links the individual technologies in one interactive network.The elements in the cutting area for instance exchange information real-timewith the components of the IG line. The material flow is adjusted real-time. Thishelps to achieve the original, actual aim of automation: A constant stream ofglass.

Even for medium-sized companies, ALBAT+WIRSAM and their machinery part-ners achieve the feat to run IG productions with just 3-4 persons per shift –including float and laminated glass cutting. All machinery required for producingtriple IG like sheet turning devices, are of course integrated in the networkedcontrol of the production environment.



The staff of these companies do not carry sheets or stacks of papers – theycontrol and monitor the production. ALBAT+WIRSAM realises similar automa-tion processes in the field of toughened glass, laminated glass, and processing.

With this state-of-the-art production software, ALBAT+WIRSAM links the ma-chinery of all the leading manufacturers. With ALBAT+WIRSAM as their partner,customers just choose the technologies best suited to him – we will take care ofthe networking!

IPMS - Intelligent Pyrometrical Measurement System

An innervated tool, that precisely measures and analyses (atreal time) both glass and metal temperatures.

Method of Operation

A complete temperature signal is plotted, displaying all re-ceived data from one complete machine cycle (in relation toit’s viewing location).The user then placesmarkers onto the cycle curve, which will corespond to thoseareas that he whant to be analysed.

Intelligent Data Filtration

Measurement viewing location and real times are saved Automatic scaling fea-ture Up to four measurement locations can be extracted Identification markerscan be placed within the saved data Same software is used to review saved datafiles Flexibility to plot a trend temperature Many print-out options available

Typical Applications

Analyse temperature changes within the process (swab cycles, a stopped sec-tion, weight variation, mould changes etc.) Develop manufacturing techniquesto minimise fluctuations of mould and glass temperatures. Precise measure-ment of plungers and blank moulds. Temperature quantification when applyinga speed increase Identify optimum forming pressure, by measuring then identi-



fying the maximum heat transfer between the glass and mould Determine whichneck rings provide optimum cooling


NEW!!! — HMS —- NEW!!

Hot-End Measurement System (HMS)

At the Hot End, glass containers are currently measuredwith go /no-go gauges (only exception: weight). Character-istics as lean, ovality and glass wall thickness are currentlymeasured only at the Cold End and then the information istransferred back to the Hot End. This leads to a delay ofmore than one lehr-length.Therefore, Buss & Partner has now developed the HMS (Hot End MeasurementSystem). The HMS, constructed to be compact and simple to use, providesquick automated sample measurements of bottles with high accuracy (varianceless than 0.1mm).

HMS measurements include:

Dimension (height, diameter, finish) Lean Finish measurements (Tilt, T, E, A, B)Ovality Glass thickness

HMS can be used for:

All colours of glass containers Height 10 mm – 375 mm Diameter 10 mm – 118mm Weight up to 2.0 kg

Operation principles of the HMS

Laser MicrometerUsing a laser micrometer for the dimensional measurements, the HMS grantsprecise and fast measurements.



Glass ThicknessThe HMS glass thickness measurement feature works based on an optical sen-sor, automatically brought into position by a linear positioning device.

Bottle Handling HardwareThe glass containers are placed on a turntable and automatically lowered intothe measuring zone by an elevator.

Software and User InterfaceThe HMS uses a standard PC with touch screen and Windows7, thus providingthe user with a familiar environment. The dedicated HMS software is developedby engineers and programmers accustomed to the procedures in the glass con-tainer production.

Operator ControlsA simple control panel with large control buttons is integrated into the HMS hous-ing, allowing basic tasks to be performed when wearing gloves.

Inspektion von texturiertenOberflächen auf 3-D-FehlstellenAufgabenstellungBei der Inspektion von Oberflächen müssen Fehlstellensicher von zulässigen Störungen imAussehen des Prüflingsunterschieden werden. So können Verfärbungen zuge-lassen sein, Glanzstellen und Dellen jedoch nicht.

LösungEinmenschlicher Prüfer würde ein schwierig zu beurteilen-desObjekt aus unterschiedlichenRichtungen betrachten. Diese Vorgehensweiseist Vorbild für das eingesetzte Verfahren des fotometrisches Stereo. Dazu wirddie zu prüfende Oberfläche aus verschiedenen Richtungen beleuchtet, wobeidie Richtungen farblich oder zeitlich unterschieden werden. Durch Vergleich deraus verschiedenen Richtungen beleuchteten Bilder erreicht man eine höhereErkennungssicherheit, eine bessere Unterscheidung verschiedener Fehlerartenund eine Reduktion der Falschalarmrate. Dabei bleiben hoheOrtsauflösung undPrüfgeschwindigkeit erhalten.

EinsatzfelderBesonders gut geeignet erweist sich die Vorgehensweise bei der Inspektion vonOberflächen, die im wesentlichen eben sind. Dazu gehören zum Beispiel Bah-nen oder Zuschnitte aus Metall, Bodenbeläge und Laminate.

This information is sent to the central unit for signalconditioning and processing by a powerful micro computer which, with the helpof a set of configuration and calibration parameters, calculates the glass flow.The GFM Glass Flow Measurement System is available in two different config-urations: One for up to 3 cameras and another for up to 10 cameras.

Laboratory Redox Measurement by GS Rapidox IIYour problem - our solution GS Rapidox II™ can beused for a variety of applications in the glass industryincluding: Batch Redox control for the characterisationof ”unknown” components, such as recycled cullet andfilter dust, an aspect of importance to container glassproducers. Monitoring of the melting process by analy-sis of scoop samples taken from the melting tank, e.g. during a colour changeof a container and a float glass furnace.Evaluation of the samples taken from the feeder and the final glass products, im-portant in obtaining a stable forming process and for ensuring consistent colourquality.

Measurements for:

Container glass

GS Rapidox II™ has been successfully applied on a routine basis for measuringthe reducing power of organic and other pollutants which may be present in thecullet. Values measured can be used to correct the batch ”recipe” in order tostabilize the colour and fining of the melt.

Float glass

GS Rapidox II™ measurements can be of benefit in controlling the fining andfoaming processes which take place during float glass melting. Oxygen partialpressure in glasses as a function of temperature relates to the addition of fining



agents such as sulphates and minor amounts of coke or blast furnace slag.

Fiber glass

GS Rapidox II™ measurements can be of benefit in controlling foaming pro-cesses. Besides this the GS Rapidox II™ measurement can show the effectsof different raw materials and scrap recycling on the radiative properties of thefibers during the forming process and also fiber breakage.

Tv glass

Fining efficiency of antimony and nitrates often used for TV glass productioncan be monitored by measuring the change in Oxygen activity in the melt withincreasing temperature.

Speciality glasses

GS Rapidox II™ can be a valuable tool in optimizing the production of a varietyof speciality glasses ranging from fiber glass to domestic high quality tableware.

08/16/2010 VIG - a window with wall insulation properties !

VIG - a window with wall insulation properties !Insulating glass windows by double-glazing, bondingtwo glass panes with a gas-filled spacing, has been asuccess story for the last 50 years. However, in 2012the new European Energy Saving Regulation EnEV2012 will come into force, demanding thermal insula-tion values which traditional double glazing will be un-able to achieve. Not only our own regional authorities, but also the US Gov-ernment, have approved regulations which will herald the end of double glazingunits, as we know them, by 2013.As a solution, windowmakers already offer the familiar triple pane window whichcan reduce energy loss below the new limit values. However, such heavy-weightinsulating glass panes with a thickness exceeding 3 cm over-complicate win-dow installation and place high demands on window frames and window fittings.Moreover, they add considerable weight to glass facades and are often a de-termining factor as to the viability of retrofitting existing buildings, for example.The use of krypton gas filling offers some improvement in triple pane design .



However, cost and environmental considerations make this impracticable on alarge scale. The metal coating on the inner glass side, limiting thermal radiationto the outside or solar irradiation to the inside„ are only justified for cost opti-mization purposes. At best, this window pane can produce a U-value (formerlyK-value) of about 0.6, i.e. each square meter window surface just loses 0.6 wattper degree K of inside/outside temperature difference. This is a good result butstill represents twice the value of an insulated exterior wall.There is a better, visionary solution - VIG! This vacuum-insulated glass does notrequire an insulating gas between the inner and outer pane, but relies on a void– in reality - a vacuum. To prevent the atmospheric pressure from squeezing the2 panes together, barely visible tiny spacers are placed in between. These newwindow pane structures can theoretically achieve U-values of 0.2 and as suchmatch the efficiency of an excellently insulated exterior wall !Considering that the vacuum requires just a few tenths of a millimeter spacingbetween the panes, the slim VIG window is not half as thick and is overall lighterand more stable than current double or triple pane glazing. The two panes,squeezed under atmospheric pressure, and the spacers constitute a compositestructure making a glass pane thickness of just 2 mm possible, whilst achievingthe stability and sound insulation values of 4 mm glass.The use of the thermos flask principle for windows is not a new idea, the firstVIG patent in Germany being granted in 1906. Since then, numerous attemptshave been made, world-wide to bond both panes in a way that, on the one hand,allows a high 10-4 mbar inner vacuum to be maintained over a span of 20 yearsor more, and, on the other hand, ensuring that the strain generated betweenthe inner and outer pane does not result in glass breakage. A few successfulsolutions have merely satisfied a niche market as a substitute for single-glazedsmall windows in Asian housings. The demanding requirements of Westernworld markets however, have not been met - until now.In 2004 Grenzebach, an engineering company with headquarters in Asbach-Bäumenheim (Hamlar), in the Donau-Ries region of Bavaria, sponsored by theDepartment of Trade and Industry (BMWi) and assisted by the Project Manage-ment Organisation Jülich (PTJ), initiiated a new approach to this market demandand launched the ProVIG research project (#0327419). Grenzebach, alreadyan established manufacturer of glass processing equipment, gathered aroundsome suppliers, an insulating glass manufacturer and a window maker, andcompleted the project team with several Fraunhofer Institute affiliates and theZAE Bayern (Bavarian Center for Applied Energy Research).Bonding two glass sheets vacuum tight, not too rigidly while allowing durableflexibility, was a real challenge. Newmaterials had to be developed and new pro-cessing methods invented. Several thousands of tiny spacers had to be placed



and accurately positioned between the two panes. Next, a vacuum needed tobe generated in the inner spacing. This vacuum had to remain free of any con-tamination or moisture even after 20 years, requiring a vacuum with a maximumof one millionth molecules in the air.Grenzebach now have a demonstration line in operation.for panes measuringabout 1 m x 1 m. The experience gained is already projected into full scale in-dustrial production with an annual capacity of 400,000 VIG. The aim is to offera VIG production line manufacturing panes of any desired size and able to with-stand demanding inspection cycles and tests. It must also be marketable at afair market price.The first 8.5 mm slim panes have an initial U-value of 0.5 and excellent noiseabsorbing properties. The spacers are so inconspicuous that at 1 m distancethey are only visible in a freshly cleaned window when they are pointed out. .The next generation with a mere overall thickness of 6.5 mm and still better Rvalues is already in process ...‘Glass-technology-live’ is a special show during glasstec 2010, in Düsseldorf, Itis an excellent stage on which to showcase the first VIG results in September2010. Product and process details will be presented in a gtl series of presenta-tions on 29 September in the afternoon. Throughout the period of the trade fairthe special ’Glass-technology-live’ show will serve as platform for our VIG ex-hibits and demonstrate how our windows will look in a few years from now. VIGwindow panes made of float glass and of tempered single-layer safety glass,measuring 1 m x 1 m, and even 1800 mm high VIG will be exhibited along withthe new VIG ISO window pane. This combined dual-pane glazing consists of aVIG and of a coated float glass pane. Achieving a U-value of 0.3 it is a world-beater in solar protection for such composite structures. Its R values alreadymatch those of an insulated exterior wall !More and more window makers and architects world wide are asking the ques-tion: When can we buy this VIG ? This demand redoubles the determination ofthe project team. Whereas inventors prefer step by step functionality optimiza-tion in a small scale line, Grenzebach insulation glass customers are impatientfor short-term annual production capacities producing millions of VIG sheets.This incentive has encouraged further co-operation between Grenzebach andits partners with the aim of starting up, in a joint effort, such VIG production linesby 2012.It will be interesting to see if an equally visionary innovation will be introducedduring ‘glasstec 2012’!



07/27/2010 50 years Grenzebach Maschinenbau GmbH

50 years Grenzebach Maschinenbau GmbH Staff rep-resentatives from all over the world hosted in HamlarGrenzebach Maschinenbau GmbH, the founding com-pany of the Grenzebach Group, celebrated their 50-year jubilee on July 9 when all members of staff wereinvited to join the festivities in Hamlar.In his address under the theme „Grenzebach: yester-day – today – tomorrow“ CEO Bernd Minning depicted the impressive develop-ment history of the former craftsman business that started off with just 7 employ-ees in 1960. Today the Grenzebach group is a global player with a workforceof 1500 spread over manufacturing locations in the three key currency regions(dollar and euro as well as the Asian market) and with a worldwide network ofsales and service agencies.Grenzebach’s product portfolio is clearly structured ,starting with the core busi-ness ”glass“ with equipment for basic glass, TFT glass and solar panel manu-facturers., The group’s second major field of activity is the “building materials“business supplying manufacturing lines for makers of gypsum plaster board andinsulation materials.. The “General Industry“sector focuses on intralogistics, onairport baggage handling and on the automotive industry. Grenzebach provideequipment for all of the these businesses, including a wraparound service pack-age: from a basic screw to a spare parts kit as well as full-scale maintenanceservices with up-to-the-minute software updates.World wide service agencies are an essential part of the „Service“ strategy. Theyensure Grenzebach stays close to their customers and facilitate a quick andproficient response to customer requests and needs.There are four mainstays which reflect the Grenzebach philosophy: Grenzebachserve strongly growing markets with a strong emphasis on automation and in-novation. In all this Grenzebach excel in: • innovative technology and processknow how, • short implementation times, • top quality and high reliability, • and– most importantly – highly skilled and extremely motivated staff.This emphasis on internationality and professionalism does not deflect the Gren-zebach family or the group companies from a strong commitment to social ac-tivities – especially in fostering schools and development of young people.Hamlar, July 2010



08/18/2010 Grenzebach - Cutting Process Optimization in FloatGlass Lines

Cutting Process Optimization in Float Glass LinesGrenzebach is a longstanding supplier and develop-ment partner to glass manufacturers in need of pro-cess equipment, automation technology, specializedcutting and handling systems as well as entire man-ufacturing lines and cold end equipment. Grenzebachalso engineers process technology and manufacturingequipment for the photovoltaic and solar thermal industries.For flat glass makers job-specific optimization and cutting plays a key role inmanaging the cold end of a glass processing line. In fact, this high art of opti-mization directly affects the achievable peak glass yield.A novel technical achievement (patent pending) strikes a new path to a signifi-cant yield increase in the float glass production business.The assessment and qualification of non-conformities in the glass ribbon in-evitably forces glass makers to score strips of faulty glass for elimination ascullet. So far the shortest possible “cullet sheet” measured some 600 mm asdetermined by the roller spacing of the downstream conveyors directing this cul-let sheet to the next available drop and elimination section.This minimum sheet length, seen over the full ribbon width, frequently embod-ied an avoidable glass loss especially when the particular glass defect situationwould allow a shorter cullet sheet.The Grenzebach innovation now allows to reduce this 600 mm sheet to a merecullet strip of up to 170 mm and, subject to the detected defects, to minimize theglass loss by up to 70 %.Traditionally, the snapping station snaps the scored sheets with the main snap-ping roller. The snapping station raises this pneumatically actuated or motor-driven roller pinpointed on the score passing the roller crest. In interaction withthe press roll assembly over the conveyor the glass snaps in a controlled waydue to flexure, sectioning the endless ribbon into individual sheets.Depending on the job requirements, these sheets then directly go to the stackersas jumbo sheets or are further cut up to smaller sized sheets. Faulty glass is tra-ditionally snapped and conveyed to the next available cullet elimination point inthe very same way. However, the conventional float line roller spacing requiresa minimum 600 mm sheet for this. The now developed new snapping stationprovides a moveable roller section that can open and close within a very shorttime to create a discharge opening. This elimination sequence is initiated by the



Grenzebach PPC optimization system and is then materialized by the conveyorline control system. The new snapping station can now snap and directly elim-inate a scheduled short cullet sheet through the roller segment opening. Aftercullet strip elimination the conveyor rollers return to their original position andresume their function as standard conveyor rollers for subsequent production.The newly developed snapping station design also reflects numerous customerdemands. The top pressure roll assembly is now, for example, driven by servo-motors and allows manifold roller position settings (leading or trailing offset oraccurate positioning over the glass ribbon). A novelty is the likewise integratedupper snap roll. If necessary, this extra snap roll can snap the cullet strip witha linear down-movement in a specific and adjustable angle of attack. This newfeature is to further improve the snapping results in particular situations such asfor thicker glass.An on-site operating terminal provides a variety of parameters for fine tuningthe machine performance. The Grenzebach PC-Panel visualization softwareallows for the display and editing of all machine parameters from any operatingterminal.The newly developed snapping station is already employed on running projectsand will soon prove its yield increasing capacities.Grenzebach is a global corporation with many years of experience in Flat GlassTechnology.Please visit us at Glasstec, Hall 15 Booth B42.Picture captions:Picture 2 shows the new reduced-length cullet strip snapping and on the spotelimination through the snapping station discharge opening.

You ask them.Using a web based survey, Heye International has succeeded in evaluatingtrends and challenges in the market and, at the same time, took the opportu-nity to get customer and partner opinions on their products and solutions.More than 100 specifically invited participants – from various different areas ofexpertise, including plant management, purchasing department, maintenancedepartment and production management – submitted their qualified feedback ontopics such as trends, threats and opportunities in the container glass industry.



As motivation, HI has donated for every filled-in questionnaire a certain amountof money to UNICEF, in parallel to a prize draw for a hotel family week-end forone of the participants.The summary of the survey clearly suggests that energy costs and energyawareness, as well as cost reduction and a higher demand on quality and prod-uct safety are the top trends to impact the business. Of course, these trendsbring major challenges with them straight away: reducing costs while improvingthe product quality as well as the plant and energy efficiency will be the goalsfor the future.For Heye International, these results are a welcome endorsement of our longterm philosophy of striving to reduce costs through innovation and technologicaladvancement without in any way compromising quality or safety. We continueto advance the container glass industry by introducing more advanced and moreflexible production facilities whose potential will enable significant cost savingswhilst maintaining the high standards on which we have built the Heye reputa-tion.

09/08/2010 Online Measuring Systems for powder quantity/glassthickness and opacity

Ingenieurbüro für Glastechnik or IfG in short will be onhand together with its cooperation partners to partic-ipate as exhibitors at the Glasstec for the 15th timenow. As specialist for solutions involving the applica-tion of separating agents, IfG has made a name foritself worldwide and further established its global net-work of local partners and service technicians over the past few years.This year’s exhibit at Glasstec focuses primarily on systems for identifying sep-arating agents on glass. Together with its business partners Grafix GmbH



(Stuttgart) und ksl staubtechnik (Lauingen / Donau), IfG will unveil three newproducts that were developed to monitor the application of separating agents.In addition, the corporate alliance presents special sensors for opacity and color.Overview of New Products for 2010:- EPS Vision System If necessary, one to two cameras are used to check the ap-plication of separating agents and provide the user with feedback as to whetherthe relevant prerequisites are fulfilled. “EPS vision system” is used, for instance,in the production of windshields and can easily be integrated in all glass produc-tion and processing lines.- EPS Powder Detection System The system is based on sensors that facilitatethe online monitoring of separating agents on glass. Depending on the applica-tion, 1 to 20 sensors can be used at the same time.- IfG Opacity and Color Analyzer By combining a capable electronic measuringsystem with an external light source, we have made it possible to measure boththe opacity and color value of products.

At IfG the service life and reliability of our systems arealways at the forefront of our development and ensureproduction reliability for our customers. Both the continual new development aswell as the modification and optimization of existing products are an integral partof IfG’s philosophy. The technology implemented in powder spraying systems isconstantly being improved, and IfG always has new ideas for further optimizingthe customers’ standards and the quality of their products. The following tech-nical changes and new developments of the past few years have proven theirworth in practical application:EPS Economic Powdering System - EPS Eco Series – Introduction of a robustand yet cost-effective line, which allows for the use of standard components oftried and tested systems. - EPS-LP System (Low pressure) – the introductionof this system was a resounding success: Since its unveiling at Glasstec 2006,more than 160 systems of this type have been installed. - EPS Basic – thissystem is especially suited for use in smaller formats as is common in the solarenergy segment, for instance. - Double EPS – for greater production reliability:The systems have a redundant design of up to 95%, which means that thereare two of all essential components available should one fail. IfG customersespecially appreciate this in the float and coating lines with high production vol-umes or sensitive products. The highlight of the Double-EPS system is its abilityto handle two types of powders, which can be applied variably alternating fromglass to glass. - Ethernet interface as standard feature for all Single and Dou-



ble EPS systems. - Automatic adjustment of width of powder spray – everynozzle can be activated and deactivated individually. That saves on separatingagents when it comes to varying glass widths and decreases the soiling of theroller bed. - Fluidization was revised completely – to ensure optimal meteringof critical powder types such as powders based on coconut shells or powderswith high acidity, and to assure reliability in production. - Low-maintenance Pre-mium Pump – for safeguarding the supply of air to the EPS system, we utilizeoptimized pumps that have a maintenance interval extended by 700%.Powder Removal System - Contactless powder removal, e.g. in an offline cut-ting line upstream of the cutting process. Several systems have already beeninstalled in Germany, Czech Republic and Poland.Take the opportunity to find out everything you need to know during your visitto Glasstech: the entire IfG team is looking forward to meeting you at our standE22 in Hall 15.IfG Ingenieurbüro für Glastechnik Gmbh Brunnweinbergstr. 19 71334 Waib-lingen Tel 07151-4879770 Fax 07151-275207 Email [email protected] wwwwww.ifg-glass.com

06/22/2010 Guaranteed quality for clear and pattern solar glassright from the start New optical inspection systems forhigher yield in solar glass production lines

In the solar and photovoltaic industries the condition ofthe glass substrate is critical to the final quality of thecompleted modules. To realize top quality standardsin downstream module production, the glass must al-ready have been checked automatically on the glassmanufacturer’s production lines. The requirement todetect and distinguish defects – typically open andclosed bubbles, stones and knots – in the harsh en-vironment of solar glass production is challenging. The robust PATTERNSCAN-Ribbon system from ISRA VISION is dedicated to this demanding application. Itcan be located directly after the furnace and cooling zones and offers automatedinspection of clear and pattern solar glass.



Depending on the application, the glass industry is producing different glasstypes, such as clear and patterned. All types of cover glass for solar moduleshave to fulfill stringent quality requirements to guarantee a long life time and thehigh energy efficiency of the installed solar system. The new PATTERNSCAN-Ribbon inspection system comprehensively facilitates these requirements. Be-ing fully automated, the system is designed to detect and subsequently differ-entiate all defects within the glass and on the glass surface.Reliable defect classification even at high production speedsThe integrated QUICKTEACH concept offers fast defect classification and en-ables “Learning by Showing”: The data and images of all significant defects arestored for further analysis, and even during production they can be acitvatedby mouse-click. By means of this the generated information is also usable forproduction optimization.New LEDmeasuring principle offers advanced defect classification even for pat-terned solar glassThe new system includes a novel, ultrafast pattern switching LED-illuminationunit. The advantage is that despite a significant hardware reduction, the per-formance is significantly increased. Instead of applying different camera rows,now, with only one bank of cameras, an unlimited number of illuminated views(such as bright field and dark field images) can be used. The information fromthe different views is used to achieve reliable and advanced defect classifica-tion of bubbles, stones, inclusions, threads (white lines), white spots, scratchesand knots. A further advantage for the user is the detection of the formerly diffi-cult to identify bubble defects, which can now be clearly differentiated as open,elongated or closed types.Suitable for connection with cutting optimizing systems The newPATTERNSCAN-Ribbon inspection system is typically connected to systems which optimize thecutting of usable glass areas. By means of defect cluster analysis and classi-fication, the line yield in solar glass production can be significantly enhanced.The result is increased profitability.



06/22/2010 The Standard for Float Glass Inspection – Now EvenBetter! Non-Stop Highest Quality in Float GlassProduction using Second-Generation Camera-BasedIn-Line Inspection

Today, when inspecting float glass, it is critical to notonly detect the smallest inclusions and point defects,but to also be able to find optical distortions that arevery difficult to recognize. Based on the patentedmoire technology, now there is an in-line inspectionsystem available making it possible to control qualityone hundred percent of the time and that is capableof providing reproducible inspection results. The inspection system contributessignificantly to optimizing the production process and in its latest version it hasbeen improved even more.Inclusions, such as stones and bubbles, scratches as well as tin defects are sim-ply unacceptable for float glass applications in the automotive or mirror industry.Even optical distortions can be very annoying. Most image processing systemsthat are typically used in the market are able to detect point defects, but not anyoptical characteristics. If these are not just right, they can be quite distractingfor the human eye and in automotive applications may even have dangerousconsequences.For many years, FLOATSCAN inspection systems based on the patented moiretechnology have been used to reliably identify in real-time not only the smallestpoint defects but also optical warps and line defects. With this technology, theinspection system “sees” just like the human eye, only in a much more reliablemanner and without any symptoms of fatigue – and that even up to a glass ribbonwidth of up to 5800 mm.The new flagship for in-line float glass inspection – FLOATSCAN Advanced II –provides even more reliable results and improved options for detecting and an-alyzing defects in rela-time. As compared to the older generation, it is equippedwith significantly improved optical system set-up and a higher resolution. More-over, it is based on the very latest camera and PC technology. Both technologiesresult in a significant increase in the system’s accuracy and stability: core sizesare now determined even more reliably while at the same time the measuringaccuracy is optimized. The optical measurement is now at an improved rangeof +/- 1 mdpt. In addition, zebra values were majorly improved and the definitionof such is now even more reliable and more rugged than they had already beenin the past. A further advantage: The ground noise that was already very lowhas been reduced even more.Along with rugged illumination technology, the inspection system can even de-



tect dark or unwashed glass as well as coating defects or micro tin defects on theupper or lower surface of the glass ribbon reliably and with the highest amountof accuracy. The FLOATSCAN Quality Information System (QIS) that has beenproven and tested time and again guarantees fast processing and preparationof all relevant quality and production-related data.The resulting information, even more reliable than ever before, contributesgreatly to further optimizing the production process and to increasing qualityand customer satisfaction.

06/22/2010 Thin-film solar module production: Fully automatedinspection right after lamination New inspectionsystem optimizes line yield by early intervention

The quality of the glass and the lamination process aredecisive factors in thin-film solar module production.Selective off-line inspection with tests after productionwould not be sufficient for long-term product warrantiesof more than 20 years. Additionally, to run a PV pro-duction facility 24/7 most effectively, in-line quality in-spection right after the first process station, followed by inspection through thefurther finishing steps is required in a fully automated manufacturing line. By us-ing these advanced optical quality inspection systems material defects can beidentified as scrap before they are further processed. The results are optimizedproduction, highest line yield and reduced production cost.ISRA VISION has an installed base of systems for incoming glass inspection,coating inspection and scribing inspection. They are now complemented by aspecial setup to inspect thin-film solar modules right after lamination. The POW-ERSCAN optical in-line inspection system offers the new option to identify bub-bles, shrinkage and inclusions. The user himself can decide which combinationof inspection configurations can be used most effectively for his particular appli-cation. This results in higher product quality and more cost effective production.Fully Automated In-line InspectionPOWERSCAN is a tool for 100% in-line surface inspection. The system can beintegrated at various steps of a processing line. Thanks to the ISRA proprietaryclassification software the optical inspection runs automatically. Interfaces toproduction control systems permit continuous processing optimization. All op-erator menus are self- explanatory and intuitive. Thanks to theses features nospecial expert knowledge is necessary for operation.Easy update for existing POWERSCAN systemsThe modular product structure of ISRA inspection systems allows for an easy



update or extension. The product portfolio offered covers the whole range ofoptical inspection tasks along the process chain of thin-film solar module pro-duction. The inspection solutions play a role in raising customer satisfactionas well as increasing a company’s ability to compete. They help to maximizequality, lowering operating costs and increase profitability.

glasstec.05.01.01.01 Measurement and control of glass position detectionRetroscannerThe Retroscanner is a a telecentric laser scanner for all purposes with limitedspace behind the measurement object. The usual telecentric laser scannerscomprise an emitter and a receiver, both located on opposite sides of the mea-surement object. Differing from that, the retro scanner comprises only a com-bined emitter / receiver unit (transceiver) and a small retroreflective stripe (height~3 mm) ”behind” the measurement object. This concept provides three main ad-vantages: less effort in the adjustment of the system, minimal space requirementand of course less effort in the installation at a production plant.Measurement Objects: - all objects, shadowing (partially) an incoming laserbeam, - outer contours up to 120 mm, - minimal distance between contour edges2 mmMeasurements - object edges (shadow edges) or values directly related to objectedges (object diameter, slit width...) - resolution 1 µm - on demand: developmentof an on line bow sensorSpecial features: - high robustness against object movement - minimal effort inadjustments / alignment

glasstec.05.01.01.04 Measurement and control of glass thicknessGlass-Scanner I-MikeI-Mike provides contact free measurements of the relevant parameters of trans-parent objects (tubes, rods, bottles…). Within each measurement interval thetransmitter scans the measurement field by moving a laser beam exactly paral-lel to the optical axis. Located behind the measurement object, the receiver isfacing the transmitter. He detects the incoming beams aside and through theobject. The diameter and position of the object is calculated by evaluation of theobject’s shadow.Wall thickness or inner diameter of transparent tubes is measured by evaluationof the beam paths through the object. In the case of glass rods, the refraction in-dex and two diameters are measurable (parallel and perpendicular to the opticalaxis).Measurements: - diameter - wall thickness / inner diameter - siding and ovality- bow - birefringence of tubes - refraction index of rodsSpecial Features - resolution 1 µm - measurement field up to 150 mm - highlyrobust against object movements in the measurement field - easy alignment



and calibration - on demand: double head system for tubes up to 350 mm - ondemand: development of conicity measurement of tubes and rods

Electronic digital drawing machine...for measuring irregular profiles on paper or of a tem-plate. Direct link to a computerized station via RS232Ccable for the automatic generation of the drawing in theCAD-software. Available sizes: cm 100 x 170, cm 120x 220, on demand cm 160 x 370 (max., with doublepedestal). Drawing data entry and transmission to theimage processing software - The template is placed onthe table surface and properly fixed. When the drawingmachine is ready for the data transmission to the linked Personal Computer aseries of dimensions are sent by moving along the profile of the template. Di-mensions can be sent one by one or continuously. When the drawing machineis linked to the Opty-Way CAD system the continuous measurement is possibleas it is the software that eliminates points unnecessary to the cutting profile andoptimizes the profile to be realized. Processing of data received by the drawingmachine and generation of the profile to be machined - Through the RS 232C cable link the Opty-Way CAD drawing system receives all the mathematicalinformation for the realization of the geometrical shape placed on the drawingmachine. At this stage the user can make all the necessary changes. After sav-ing the file the system is ready to transfer the information to the cutting programwithout further passages. Generation of data for the automatic cutting system -Once waste has been optimized, cutting can be performed by the cutting table



via diskette or serial link.

glasstec.05.03.05 Other control systemsNC-WayNC-Way has been specifically developed to meet the ever-increasing need fordirect communication and interaction between software systems and automatedequipment. This module is a real ”environment” that dialogs with the automatedplant. It is the interface between the optimization/display environment and the”actual” cutting phase by the machine. Therefore, it acts as a front end betweenthe operator and the machine.NC-Way is a safe reference for glass-handling, glass-cutting and finished pieceunloading technologies. This is guaranteed by the advanced technology, projectopenness and modular design.Technical FeaturesDirect integration with the PLC systemCreation and editing of the cutting optimizationDynamic display of the cutting cycleDisplay of CNC and PLC alarms and messagesData transmission to the NCSetup of data and machine parametersComprehensive informationIn addition to its special graphics, NC-Way also stands out for the complete infor-mation displayed on the screen, thus providing the operator with the best workenvironment. The program displays all the ”technical” information essential fora classic cutting plant to operate correctly, and namely: plant type, technologi-cal information (dimensions, pressures, times, etc.), cutting head characteristicsand data, Low-E processing parameters, translation and parking axis positionvalues, etc. Visual information is guaranteed instead through full integration withEdit-Way’s optimization modules, of which NC-Way implements all the variousoperating features and advantages.Advanced graphic solutionsThanks to a comprehensive study of the graphic solutions, the cutting plan dis-play is extremely easy to use and complete. To ensure that the user can work asefficiently, precisely and rapidly as possible, the program displays sheet cuttingplans in an optimal graphics mode, highlighting occupied areas (distinguishing,by means of different colors, those occupied by normal pieces from those occu-pied by standard pieces), any Offcuts and waste areas. It also shows the size of



each area. NC-Way stands out for the completeness and accuracy of the datadisplayed on the screen. This helps speed up the production cycle and improvesthe efficiency and productivity of the plant in which it is installed.The advantages of integrationThe NC-Way system tracks the production sequence on the cutting plant andcan work ”in perfect symbiosis” with the plant, thus enhancing the performanceof the entire line. Integration of the various Optima applications (from Edit-wayto optimize cutting to Optistrato to handle and cut laminated glass) ensures thatthe plant operates correctly and maximizes its overall productivity.Connectability to the outside worldLike most of Optima’s cutting management products, NC-Way can interface anddialog with automated material management, handling and storage systems. Itintegrates with the cutting plant but also, and above all, with the other technolo-gies the company utilizes for its production cycle.Very high technological levelBased on the data infrastructure of the entire suite of Optima products, NC-Way has been equipped with an innovative interface personalization system.Some functions allow the operator to interact with the ”graphic section” of theapplication program and thus to customize the software as required. In additionto special graphics, the program also offers various levels of personalization. InNC-Way, the user can add new fields to data tables. As a result, customers canoperate on the software and regain ”possession” of their equipment.Integrated OptimizationEdit-WaySystems for Automated LinesOptistratoTV-Way

CHRocodile M10: Non-contact measurement at 10pointsThe CHRocodile M10 optical sensor represents a newapproach to non-contact, high-precision thicknessmea-surement of transparent and non-transparent materials.The system measures values for up to 10 measuringpoints simultaneously during the production of glass, film, metal or paper forexample.The CHRocodile M10 thus offers significant rationalization potential in both inlineand offline operation for quick and reliable analysis of the thickness and topogra-phy of materials. Whereas in the past several sensors had to be used to monitor



10 measuring points simultaneously, all that is needed today is one CHRocodileM10 with 10 independent channels to measure values synchronously. The si-multaneous nature of the measurement eliminates the need for synchronizationbetween sensors measuring product belt material thickness of non transparentmaterials like metal or paper.Die Gleichzeitigkeit der Messung erspart die Synchronisierung mehrerer Sen-soren bei der Dickenmessung nicht transparenter Materialien wie z.B. Produkt-bänder aus Metall oder Papier.An optical fibre transmits the halogen light to the extremely compact measuringheads that are designed as purely passive lenses without electronic or movingparts. That facilitates the integration of the system into production and inspectionlines, e.g. in the glass industry, and allows measurements to be carried out evenunder difficult ambient conditions, such as on hot flat glass.To ensure even the slightest flaws are detected at high belt speeds, the newCHRocodile M10 boasts a high measuring rate of up to 14,000 measurementsper second. With 10 measurement points, for example, the single module thusmeasures the thickness and condition of the material 1400 times per second. Asthe spot size is only a few hundredths of a millimetre in diameter, even minuteflaws do not go undetected during both inline and offline operation.The new system is configured via an integral PC.The outgoing measurement data is integrated reliably into the process of theproduction line via an Ethernet link.In summary the new CHRocodile M10 sensor offers significant advantages forproduction:- Simultaneous non-contact measurement of the material thickness and condi-tion at up to 10measurement points with just one sensor - Designed for inline andoffline operation - High measurement rate of 14,000 measurements per second- Easy integration into the production process

CHRocodileM4: Non-contactmeasurement of thick-ness & shapeThe thickness measurement system CHRocodile M4from Precitec Optronik now provides a particularly eco-nomical solution for inline inspections during the pro-duction of bottles and container glass.The system from the successful CHRocodile range of sensors directly recordsthe thickness and roundness of the glass body without contact and with highprecision during the ongoing production process. This means that it is not nec-essary to take and measure samples during the production process, so as to



readjust the system if necessary following the production of a large number ofrejects.So that very minor flaws can still be detected even at fast belt speeds of (forexample) 4m/s, CHRocodile M4 works with a high measuring rate of 4000 mea-surements per second. It does not matter whether transparent glass bottles orcoloured glass vessels are passing along the production line.

Flat probes for non-contact glass thickness mea-surementPrecitec Optronik GmbH offers now additionally flat op-tical probes for non-contact wall-thickness measure-ment of container glass. Due to their flat construction acontainer glass manufacturer can now measure morethickness profiles per bottle height.

06/28/2010 Safety Glass Experts sign a new service contract

Safety Glass Experts International Ltd (SGEI) continues to develop their uniqueservices for the glass processors. In the past months company has introducednew services for float glass quality inspections while carrying out successful con-sulting projects for tempered and bent laminated vehicle glazing producers inthree different continents. Last week Safety Glass Experts signed a servicecontract with Romanian safety glass producer Gerom S.A. Buzau.Producing heat treated safety glass, such as tempered, or bend laminated glassis largely operator dependent craft. Tempering operator has to adjust the heatingrecipes every often to maintain mechanical strength and flatness for example.Bending large vehicle windscreens requires operator to control the bending pro-cess through the control panels and user interface throughout the entire durationof the bending/final bending phase. Lamination defects are in every producerstop 5 most common defect list. Perfectly adjusted lamination processing pa-rameters are important to reduce lamination defects, but also the heat treatmentprocessing; tempering and bending quality is in crucial role cutting this wasteand elimination of the lamination defects.Lack of internal specialists and manufacturing know-how will result in slow de-terioration, without continuous efforts, attitude and dedication to develop theprocesses. Machinery producers rarely provide quality training or consultingservices from the glass processors perspective. Therefore usually more costeffective solution is to hire objective external expert for training, and consultingprojects.SGEI provides tailored training, consulting, diagnostic and tooling services forsafety glass manufacturers. Companies core competence areas are bending,tempering, and lamination processes. In addition to these process related ex-pert services, company also conducts float glass quality examinations for safetyglass processors suffering from low level sub-supplier quality.SGEI training programs contain a combination of theoretical training includingdetailed training material, and learning by doing type training for operators in thefurnace’s (tempering or bending). The trainings provide operators real under-standing of the process, skills to independently operate the furnace, understandit’s functions, develop new products, understand causes of defects and eliminatebasic quality defects, acknowledge mould defects, carry out basic mould finetuning activities and develop mould tooling together with the mould fabricators.Evidently training results are seen in positive gains on efficiency, quality, abil-ity produce more complex products, lower waste levels, and increased workermotivation and devotion.



ON-SITE EXPERTSERVICESWITHGEMBAATTITUDE - Go and See for Your-selfSGEI training and consulting services are mainly conducted with on-site visitsin clients manufacturing units. SGEI follows the ideology of Go and See forYourself by Japanese Genchi Genbutsu, which is a part of Lean Manufacturingand the Toyota Production System. Field Specialist Mika Eronen comments:“Our expert services are based on the idea that we go and see for ourselves whatis done on the manufacturing floor. This is required to gain true understandingon the problems client is requesting our help for and furthermore as a base forcontinuous improvement. For us it is normal “Modus Operandi” to put our handsinto the production and perform work on the floor level. Only this way we cansee the direct impact of the improvements we made”The Present State Evaluation service provides perfect conditions for a first steptowards successful development project. Present state evaluation provides newclients a possibility to get external expert view on their current production, a in-dividual process or a production defect. The owner Pekka Kytösaho explains:“We have received only positive feedback on the PSE-visits conducted so far.Although this service does not include implementation of solutions every timea lot of direct solutions are provided for our clients during the visits, improvingprocessing parameters for example. Furthermore our clients have been verypleased with the extensive reports, containing sufficient information and instruc-tions to develop found imperfections also independently. During the evaluationvisit on site, client has a chance to get to know us and the way we work. Finallyarmed with the report + our prescription for solutions, the client then can decidewhether to proceed with us implementing the solutions we prescribed –and theyusually do”.NEW SERVICE CONTRACTFollowing a successful Present State Evaluation, Safety Glass Experts andGerom S.A. (http://www.gerom-buzau.ro/) signed a new service contract lastweek. Gerom S.A. is specialized in the production of architectural glass, butthey produce glazing also for automotive, constructions, and home appliances.SGEI is providing Gerom S.A training and consulting services to develop theirbus and special vehicle windscreen production into a new level in regards ofproduct quality, production efficiency, and extended product range.The Director Mr. Jori Jurttila comments the project “After our initial visit at GeromS.A. we were impressed with the level of quality they’ve achieved bending com-plex bus windscreens, especially taking into count the short time span they’vespend developing their production. However during our Present State Evalua-tion our expert did recognize room for development and a further developmentproject was started. We’re really looking forward to this project and remain confi-



dent that our expertise combinedwith the help of Gerom’s state of the art bendingfurnace and well motivated staff the results will be notable.”Gerom S.A General Director Mr. Sergiu Bulatel comments “We chose collabora-tion with SGEI because we agreed with their approach in finding solutions to ourproblems. During the visit for the PSE, a good collaboration between the SGEIexpert and our specialists was established together with a mutual trust. Follow-ing PSE’s recommendations, we agreed to improve the skills of our specialistsby signing a new service contract.For more information visit www.sge.fi or contact:Safety Glass Experts International Oy Ltd Seuratie 4 A 19 FI-21530 Paimio,FINLAND Phone: +358 400 979 300 Fax: +358 2 6518 2539 Email: [email protected]: www.sge.fi

SOFTSOLUTION LineScanner with coating sensor

A great and brand new feature for the Line Scanner is theglass thickness and coating sensor , which works fully in-tegrated within the Line Scanner software. This new op-tion is now offered and sold to customers since the VitrumShow 2009. It is the latest master piece of engineeringfrom Softsolution and can detect glass thickness as wellas coating and coating side comfortably without touchingthe glass. If there is no connection to customers’ production software, the de-fault coating side can be configured within the Line Scanner master files. TheLine Scanner software then finds the coating side and compares the result withthe master file settings. If the coating is on the wrong side, the monitor softwarealerts the operators immediately by displaying an error message. If there is a fullintegration between customers’ production software and the Line Scanner soft-ware via transfer file, all production data like glass thickness, coating and coatingside are compared to real production data. In case of any differences, the moni-tor software alerts the operators immediately by displaying an error message aswell.

The LineScanner system combines at least all functions in one hardware system– surface quality control, precision control, glass thickness, coating, bar code



reader and in the near future a data matrix code interpreter.

Oxyfuel/ oxygen systems

Use of oxygen in glass melting furnacesReduced NOx emissions Reduced use of primary ener-gies Better glass quality Lower investment costsThe use of oxyfuel /oxygen systems reduces NOx as pureoxygen is used for combustion.

As against conventional air-fired furnaces, the consider-able advantages are, reduced NOx emissions, reduced use of primary energies,better glass quality and lowered investment costs due to the exclusion of regen-erators.

The particle emission reduces considerably owing to lower less exhaust gas flowin oxyfuel fired furnaces: As compared to air-fuel fired furnaces, the fraction re-sulting due to dust is reduced by approximately 70 % and the fraction resultingdue to condensation of volatile components is reduced by 30-50 %. Consider-ably stringent requirements are however applicable for control technology tasksand equipment. Software and hardware are always refined for all glass meltingfurnaces of UAS Messtechnik that have been equipped with oxygen technology.In case of measuring technology equipment, this results in a standard situationthat ensures high-precision regulation of the fuel-oxygen mixtures.

Oxyfuel firing has reduced the NOx content in the exhaust gas from approxi-mately 800 to 2500 mg NOx per m3 of exhaust gas to 250 to 280 mg NOx perkg of molten glass!

TM(C)A comprehensive range of inspection systems is avail-able. Special emphasis is placed on non-contact thick-ness measuring instrument The equipment shows amodular structure. They are made up of the electronicunit (topside) with the LCD-touch-screen display andthe measuring computers the sensor heads (below),the light box and the tripod system for positioning of the sensor heads. Onemea-suring computer and one sensor head are forming a measuring channel each.Up to four measuring channels can be put in an electronic unit. The electronicunit is a compact 19” rack in an industrial enclosure. The measuring computersare robust single-board computers. The thickness is determined by means ofcomparing the reflections of a light beam. The reflections are generated at theupper side as well as at the lower side of the glass ribbon. The reflections areprojected onto light sensors using CCD (Charge Coupled Devices). The light isgenerated by a halogene lamp having a lifetime of about 6 months. Two mea-suring systems are in operation in the gauge head simultaneously in order tocompensate measurement errors due to the non-parallel surfaces of the glassribbon.At the same time, measuring errors due to any inclination between sensor andglass are compensated. This compensating principle greatly enhances the ac-curacy of measurement and is protected by Patents. A sophisticated opticalsystem transmits the reflections onto the sensors. Thus, a very high measuringaccuracy be can achieved despite of unevenness and inclination of the glasssurface.The sensors are self controlled. They make sure that only reliable readings aresent out.The ovality is checked using the variations of the spacing between sensor head

XPAR POLYSIGMA (Inspection & Process Monitoring)The XPAR Polysigma is a Hot End Infrared Process Monitoring, Inspection andControl system based on the latest infrared technology.The system contains one infrared camera which is placed as close as possible tothe forming process, between the IS-machine and the coating tunnel. From thisposition infrared images of newly formed containers are captured and analyzedin real-time.Process MonitoringWith the Process Monitoring software the glass forming process of each cavity



is real time monitored. With the information presented by the system, the IS-machine settings can be adjusted leading directly to a better glass distribution(higher product quality ), less rejects at the cold end and a higher pack-to-meltratio.InspectionThanks to the sensitiv infrared camera, the Inspection software detects and re-jects critical glass defects such as thin ware, birdswings, lenses, stones, blisters,folds, freaks, leaners, offset finish, checks etc.Hot End transportSince the XPAR Polysigma is synchronized to the IS machine, the system en-ables the hot end operator to monitor and adjust the transport / ware spacing onthe conveyor belt. Stuck and fallen ware is detected and rejected.Expandable configurationTo keep up with the rapid new infrared developments of XPAR Vision,the hard-ware of the camera technology is designed as a modular concept. This is tomake sure that the XPARPolysigma system- to comply with themarket demands- can be easily extended with a second camera (Dual Camera Unit for increasedinspection and process monitoring), as well as with special hard-/software ap-plications for automation of the forming process. The XPAR-IGC (Infrared GobControl) is an example of a hardware add-on for automatic control of the gobweight.

08/30/2010 Further development of Batch Preheating Technologyby Zippe

The company Zippe installed the first batch preheater for the glass industryalready in 1984. After other installations followed, Zippe became a pioneer inthat technology. Due to increasing energy prices, the demand for this technol-ogy, that provides significant energy savings, increased strongly in recent years.Already in 2006, Zippe initiated a research and development project (partiallysupported by the German government) to improve the existing technology. Theaims were the application also with lower cullet content, maximum safety in op-eration, and high potential energy savings. After an intensive and long-termpilot project, the 2nd generation of batch preheaters, the ABP (Advanced BatchPreheater) was created and its applicability proven. By such, Zippe addressesfuture demands of the industry and contributes to a sustainable energy-efficientglass production.
