Ratek RAYTGS150 Glass Process Imaging System

Fluke Process RAYTGS150 Offers

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.

Features

• Improve profitability and product quality
• Reduce setup time and detect defects quickly
• Define product-specific configurations and data files
• Automate quality monitoring for ISO9000
• View complete thermal images and temperature profiles
• Customize and display zones overlaid on a thermal image
• Automatically analyze zone temperatures
• Viewing of complete thermal images and temperature profiles
• Thermal image "snapshot" by the temperature or by an external trigger
• Automatic analysis of zone temperature distributions (minimum, maximum, average, gradient, etc.)
• Fail-safe alarm logging
• Defined product-specific configurations
• Event-based saving of thermal images with archive function for analyzing temperature data
• Easy connection with existing visualization and control systems via flexible system interfaces: OPC or DDE, analog or digital output modules, serial RS232 port, Ethernet

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.
