• Fiberglass Manufacturing applicatiosn to include fiber width and length

Application List

Float Glass
The Canty Molten Glass Level System is a non contact approach which allows for visual verification. The complete Canty Vision System Consists of a Canty Vector System and Canty Cameras. The Canty Camera utilizes a high quality CCD or Ethernet camera and has a rugged industrial design which includes a Canty Fuseview threaded front cap. The Canty Vector System performs the analysis and can output a 4-20mA signal for full process control.

Glass Bottle
The Canty Vision System is positioned on a glass bottle production line to monitor and control the glass gob volume and temperature. A glass gob is a still drop of molten glass formed by cutting a stream of glass as it flows from the forehearth (shown in figure above) through a feeder of variable diameters. These gobs free fall into molds and create glass bottles. The volume and temperature of the gobs are critical to quality control and with the Canty Glass Gob analysis system all of these parameters can be controlled.

Molten Glass Level
The Canty Molten Glass Level System is a non contact approach which allows for visual verification. The complete Canty Vision System Consists of a Canty Vector System and Canty Cameras. The Canty Camera utilizes a high quality CCD or Ethernet camera and has a rugged industrial design which includes a Canty Fuseview threaded front cap. The Canty Vector System performs the analysis and can output a 4-20mA signal for full process control.

Fiber Glass
The Canty system will provide a consistent measurement of particle size and reproducible results on the products cited in this report. It provides a full particle size distribution for the samples provided. The system should be usable both as an analytical tool for QC/QA and as an in-stream analyzer and in this role can provide measurement results in a matter of minutes on a continual basis. The Bin graph clearly shows a count of the number of particles of a certain size. A preset number can be set and an alarm can sound if a number or these particles pass. For example, if a large number of 1mm long particles pass, an alarm could notify there is a problem with the cutting process.

	High Temp Cameras Canty High Temperature Camera Systems feature a fused glass seal standard with every model. This unique seal provides an impenetrable safety barrier to protect the camera electronics from the harsh process environment and preventing hazardous vapors from escaping into your plant.
