The GS150 measures a line of up to 1024 points using a rotating mirror that scans a 90º field-of-view up to 150 times per second. The scanning of a glass part is initiated by the measured temperature, or an external "trigger" signal. As each heated glass part traverses the field-of-view, a two-dimensional thermal image or "thermogram" is formed.

Installs easily, just like a camera, and views the glass part from above, whenever it has a clear path. Connecting the pre-wired cables (included) to a PC and entering installation dimensions in the GS150 Software completes the installation process.

Top Applications

This application involves the forming of automotive and truck/bus windshields in the sag-bending process. The glass sheet is heated until it is within it's viscoelastic phase, at which point, the glass then slumps into a former to take on the required shape.

How we can help you

Record the thermal image of every glass sheet produced - certify every product treated
Detect immediately any change in thermal performance - minimize downtime and scrap
Quickly see the effect of changing furnace settings, resulting in faster process setup
Obtain the full 'entry to exit' profile, enabling optimization of heating and cooling process
