Glass Temperature Measurement This paper highlights Soda-Lime-Silica glass optical properties and
other general factors related to glass temperature sensing and the selection
of appropriate infrared thermometers.
Bulletproof Glass Ircon thermometers can play a crucial role in temperature
measurement in sag bending in the automotive glass industry.
This paper highlights the bending and forming of bulletproof
automotive glass.
Fiberoptic Production 1 Fiberoptic filament starts life as a perform tube.
Ircon thermal imaging technology can help control the vapor
deposition process by looking at perform temperature.
Fiberoptic Production 2 The final process in fiberoptic processing is the coating
and curing of the filament. Ircon CHF sensors can help to measure
filament temperature to reduce scrap here.
Eliminating Glass Bottle Scrap When glass bottles leave the mold to head to the annealing
lehr improper cooling can cause breakage and scrap. Ircon's
Javelin IR thermometer provides a low cost solution to this
problem.
Automotive Backlite Inspection Do you make or use automotive glass? This multi-page
article by Vern Lappe discusses the use of Ircon thermal imaging
technology to inspect automotive backlites during the production
process.
Glass Mold Temperature
The temperature of molds and plungers used to make glass containers
can be critical. AN103 includes a short discussion of the application.
It also includes infrared thermometer recommendations for glass
mold temperatures measurement.
Glass Sealing
A short discussion of glass sealing applications. Includes an
instrument recommendation to properly measure the glass temperature,
while avoiding glass flame interference. This includes applications
such as TV tubes, auto headlamps and various light bulbs.
Lamination of Windshields
A short discussion of windshield laminating applications. Includes
a recommendation for the proper wavelength to use to measure
the film inside the glass.
Float Glass Annealing Lehr Temperature A short discussion on methods to measure the temperature
profile of the glass in a float line. How to measure before,
inside, and after exit from the lehr. Make measurements corresponding
to cooling and edge heating zones.
