Glass tempering solution

The Raytek GS150 system uses a linescanner to measure infrared radiation of the glass sheets after they have been heated to melting point. It scans the sheets line by line as they are being transported from the furnace to the air quench, generating thermal images of each sheet.

The accompanying visualization and analysis software enables operators to quickly and reliably check the correct and even heating of the sheets.

For fast process setup and precise calibration of the infrared solution, Datapaq has developed a new Furnace Tracker system with an especially low-height thermal barrier. This system takes temperature readings directly from the glass surface via thermocouples. The combined solution provides the reliable data required for optimising production efficiency and quality.
