Online Measuring Systems for powder quantity/glass thickness and opacity

Ingenieurbüro für Glastechnik or IfG in short will be on hand together with its cooperation partners to participate as exhibitors at the Glasstec for the 15th time now. As specialist for solutions involving the application of separating agents, IfG has made a name for itself worldwide and further established its global network of local partners and service technicians over the past few years.


This year’s exhibit at Glasstec focuses primarily on systems for identifying separating agents on glass. Together with its business partners Grafix GmbH (Stuttgart) und ksl staubtechnik (Lauingen / Donau), IfG will unveil three new products 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 application of separating agents and provide the user with feedback as to whether the relevant prerequisites are fulfilled. “EPS vision system” is used, for instance, in the production of windshields and can easily be integrated in all glass production and processing lines.

- EPS Powder Detection System
The system is based on sensors that facilitate the online monitoring of separating agents on glass. Depending on the application, 1 to 20 sensors can be used at the same time.

- IfG Opacity and Color Analyzer
By combining a capable electronic measuring system with an external light source, we have made it possible to measure both the opacity and color value of products.
