Excessive overall deflection of glass often causes defects in subsequent work steps. The BowScanner by Softsolution aims to address this challenge. By precisely measuring the overall deflection of each individual glass pane before further processing, panes with excessive curvature can be identified and sorted out early on. This not only optimizes the processes in downstream processing steps but also improves the quality of the end products, especially in insulating glass units.

"With Softsolution's BowScanner, we've not only found a precise solution for monitoring the overall deflection of our glass panes, but also a partner who understands our needs and collaborates with us as equals. The reliable technology has enabled us to make our production processes more efficient and to sustainably ensure the quality of our products. This partnership is built on trust and expertise – a real win for Egger Glas," says Philipp Schuller, Managing Director.
Product details
Specifically for glass processors and manufacturers working with tempered and laminated glass, this system offers a targeted solution to minimize risk and maximize production efficiency by detecting the overall curvature of glass. Increased process throughput, improved safety and the elimination of glass jams and glass breakage are all goals of the BowScanner.
The BowScanner can be seamlessly integrated into existing LineScanner installations or used as a stand-alone system. Quality assurance through overall deflection measurement ensures that panes with excessive curvature are identified and sorted out, significantly improving production quality and quantity. Early detection of quality issues with the BowScanner, such as unwanted physical deformations, leads to a better understanding of the causes and long-term optimization of the tempering and laminating process, especially furnace parameters.
