Boost efficiency with the NEW BowScanner

Deflection Measurement for Minimizing Breakage Risk and Downtime

Introducing the BowScanner, LiteSentry-Softsolution’s latest innovation for the glass industry. Specifically designed for glass processors and fabricators working with laminated and tempered glass, this cutting-edge equipment offers a targeted solution to minimize risks and revolutionize production efficiency, by detecting the overall bow of glass.

Experience enhanced process throughput, improved safety, and the elimination of glass jams and breakage. The BowScanner seamlessly integrates into existing LineScanner setups or operates as a stand-alone system.
Quality assurance with overall bow measurement ensures that sheets with excessive curvature are identified and sorted out, which significantly increases production quality and quantity in the long term. Early detection of quality issues with the BowScanner such as unwanted physical distortion leads to a better understanding of the causes and long-term optimization of the tempering and laminating process, especially in furnace parameters.

Are you facing challenges such as:

➖ Experiencing excessive overall bowing post-tempering?
➖ Dealing with glasses entering sorting systems with a noticeable overall bow?
➖ Encountering single panes with compromised quality due to excessive overall bow?

Fear not! The NEW BowScanner offers the ultimate solution:

➕ Precisely identifies glass exhibiting excessive overall bowing post-tempering.
➕ Prevents breakage in sorting systems, ensuring seamless operations.
➕ Halts further processing, such as laminated glass or IG unit production, when necessary.
➕ Minimizes downtime, ensures reliable product quality.

Glass processing companies often face unforeseen setbacks and increased costs due to the undesirable deflection of glass. These deflections can lead to delays in further processing and even breakage, resulting in time-consuming and expensive cleaning work.

The Softsolution BowScanner delivers valuable data, including total deflection for all edges and both diagonals. It displays the glass pane’s surface profile, aiding effective analysis. It optimizes workflows, reduces breakage risk, prevents that bowed glasses are further used for insulated glass units or laminats; therefore cuts downtime and costs for glass processing companies.

Enhance productivity with the BowScanner, ensuring high-quality products and a competitive edge.
