Measure glass thickness: Thickness & Coating Sensors - Glassquality
LiteSentry Thickness and Coating Sensors

TS Series of Thickness & Coating Sensors

TS Series of Thickness & Coating Sensors mounted on one side of the glass, able to identify and measure glass thickness, coating on either side, discern most colored glass, as well as various coating & colored glass combinations.

THE NEW TS4000 will discern most colored glass, as well as various coating & colored glass combinations. With the TS4000 you will be able to update new coating & colored glass combinations instantly onsite.

The TS4000 will also:
Discriminate soft-coat low E-coated glass. Identifies ‘Clear’ / non-coated glass.
Identify coated surface on a single pane.
Discriminate most pyrolytic coatings, ITO coatings, electrochromic coatings, and more.

.

Maximum sheet sizeAny size of glass can be measured – depending on the application the measured result is typically provided once the part has cleared the sensor.
Minimum sheet size350x250mm – short edge leading (smaller glasses on request)
Maximum transportation speed during scan process700mm/s
(higher speed on request)
Glass thickness and accuracy1 to 25mm
Accuracy: +/-0.1 mm over 2 – 8 mm, +/- 0.2 mm over 9 – 25 mm glass thickness
Measured value: 15fps (frames per second)
Coating detectionDiscriminates soft-coat low E coated glass. Identifies ‘Clear’ / non-coated glass
Discerns most colored glass, as well as various coating colored glass combinations
Discriminates most pyrolytic coatings, ITO coatings, electrochromic coatings, and more.
Each coating can be tested for a specific application.
Identifies coated surface one on a single pane
 
Coating detection is based on the end-user building a coating and color profile onsite.   
When scanning, the sensor compares the reading to the stored profiles. The profile which fits the actual scanning the best is provided as a result.
Measured value: 8fps (frames per second)
OutputRemote output via socket connection with detailed XML output – customer to provide TCP Interface
Light transmission> 25%
Types of glassThe following glass types, coated or uncoated, flat or within the standard tolerances for safety glass:

Clear float glass
Colored/tinted float glass
Laminated glass
Toughened / heat strengthened glass

Glasses with structured surface, textured, patterned or frosted, or glasses with similar surface cannot be measured with a TS sensor
Glass shapeRectangles and shapes of any kind (with and without processing), if the parts are moving when measured; minimum distance between glasses = 200mm
Minimum and maximum temperature10° to 50° Celsius
Relative humidity10% to 85%, non-condensing environment
Power supplyPowered with shielded grounded POE Cat6 cable
HousingRugged aluminum and steel housing for industrial environments
Installation requirementsThe sensor must be mounted perpendicular to the line with the base of the sensor at 80mm from the rollers or backside of the glass passline
Network and internet connectionCustomer is responsible to provide network and internet connection (no modem)
Operating systemLinux
Language of operating system = English
DelimitationThe TS series does not distinguish the same coating on different type of glass, individual profiles must be created for each glass and coating combination
