IDSCAN

ID SCAN is a semi-automatic bench for measuring, automatically and without any mechanical retooling, bore diameter and internal profile of glass bottles, on sample basis.
 

Available in two versions:

• IDSCAN CE to be used at the cold-end, in the QC lab or in production environment
• ID SCAN HE to be used at the hot-end, before annealing

 
The bottle to be measured is manually loaded and the measurement cycle is managed fully automatically. Measurements are carried out by a single contact tactile bore gauge, mounted on a rotating stage that can also travel in vertical direction.
 

Measurable characteristics include:

• bore diameter at one or more programmable depths (no limit to the number of bore diameters to be measured)
• internal profile in vertical direction

 
ID SCAN HE, for use at the hot-end, integrates some additional features to withstand hot-end ambient conditions, and to allow the measurement of non-tempered glass bottles
 

BENEFITS

• accurate: to achieve accurate measurements, ID SCAN uses a single contact tactile bore gauge
• comprehensive: it can measure
- bore diameter, at different depths, also providing a visual representation of the bore real shape at each measured section
- internal profile with a graphic representation of the diameter variation in the scanned area
• flexible: no mechanical retooling required
• compatible with Manufacturing Execution Softwares (MES): ID SCAN is fully integrated with the most popular MES (e.g. Vertech SIL™ and others). ID SCAN receives from the MES all the information required to automatically generate the recipe related to the article to be measured. No programming is required by the operator on ID SCAN. After the measurement of each container, results related to the mould, are sent to the MES.
• simple to use
