Ultimate servo-electric forming solution

Servo-electric mechanisms provide precise, repeatable motionAllows for 5” triple gob production run at the same speed as double gobAllows for 95mm quad gob production run at the same speed as triple gobLower, more accessible section Three fixed plunger position heightsReduced compressed air usage saves energySubstantial noise reduction for a quieter work environmentAvailable in 8, 10, 12 SectionEasily convertable

Next generation of plunger process control, a step towards process automation Full stroke motion tracking of Emhart Glass Quick Change Plunger Mechanisms with wireless sensor connection Precise gob weight control with accurate tube height and needle height control algorithms Advanced software supported process analysis including process data storage and automatic reject of containers with defects

A Total Inspection Solution

Reduced line space and maintenanceHigher speeds and larger warePrecise container rotationNon contact vision gauging (plug, ring, dip)

The FleXinspect T gives glass manufacturers a Total Inspection Solution, as the fully equipped system is capable of providing all the necessary cold end inspections. The unique design of the servo-driven handling devices allows inspections that in the past were not possible with rotary inspection machines.

Container range & line speed

The FleXinspect T inspects round and non-round containers from small dia. 16mm x 36mm tall (21mm minimum shoulder height) to large dia. 170mm x 381mm tall (260mm maximum shoulder height). The FleXinspect T operates at speeds up to 400 BPM depending on container shape and size.

The TCS is a pyrometer based system, used to monitor the temperatures of mold equipment on the blank side of an IS machine. The high speed pyrometer is mounted on an automatic positioning system. The system monitors the temperatures of several points of the section including blank molds and plungers. This valuable information is used to maintain constant temperate conditions, required for a stable forming process.
