Tackling the Costly Issue of Glass Bowing: What Every Fabricator Needs to Know

Recent insights from USGlass Magazine have highlighted a critical issue facing our industry: glass bowing. This unwanted curvature or warping can compromise project integrity and lead to significant financial losses. Let's dive into what fabricators need to know and do:

Key Takeaways for Fabricators:

Implement rigorous quality control measures, especially flatness testing
Ensure proper annealing to relieve internal stresses
Use advanced tempering techniques, monitoring temperature and humidity during quenching
Handle glass with extreme care throughout the process
Utilize automated quality control systems at the furnace for real-time feedback

Remember: Catching bowing issues early can save hundreds of thousands of euros and protect your reputation!

Invest in automated inspection systems like the BowScanner for precise, consistent quality control.

Train your team on the latest techniques for minimizing glass bowing.

Don't Let BOWed Glass Interrupt Your Automation

Automation in glass fabrication is transforming the industry, offering benefits like increased throughput, improved quality, and reduced costs.

Many plants now use systems to handle glass panes, with robots precisely placing each pane. However, not all glass comes off the line uniformly, often resulting in bow, or deflection, which can cause breakage during sorting or within the press.

When glass with excessive bow is placed in a harp rack, it risks damage, leading to costly downtime and cleanup. Automation systems can prevent these issues by detecting bow in advance and keep operations running smoothly.

Are you dealing with glasses entering sorting systems with a noticeable overall bow?

LiteSentry-Softsolution has introduced the BowScanner, the first fully-automated, non-contact system that measures glass bow in real-time as it moves along a conveyor.

The BowScanner provides a detailed map of the glass, showing deflections and offering precise bow measurements along all edges and diagonals. Facilities can set acceptable bow limits, and the system alerts the production line when a pane exceeds those limits, preventing breakage.
