FLOATSCAN-Coldgauge

Precise measurement of thickness, width and position of glass ribbon in the cold section of the float line

Thickness measurement of the entire glass ribbon

High accuracy up to 1.5 µm

Determination of ribbon width (gross and net width)

Measurement of ribbon position

Continuous cross or length profiling

Reliable inline thickness and width measurement in the cold end

The optical inspection system FLOATSCAN-Coldgauge precisely measures the thickness, width and position of the glass ribbon in the cold section of the float line. Based on the principle of double reflection, the reliable system guarantees maximum precision, providing highly-accurate measurement values down to the micrometer range. It can be combined with the FLOATSCAN-Stress system.

With its patented advanced measurement technology, FLOATSCAN-Coldgauge is not affected by glass thickness, bending or tilt. The user-friendly interface is intuitive and visualizes processes clearly with individually selectable display options.
