  • Glassware gauging system
    Patent number: 4553217
    Abstract: A non-contact optical gauger for measuring glassware articles of manufacture at the hot end of an individual section machine. As the manufactured glassware is being conveyed away from the individual section machine, a light beam is direct across its path. An array of photo-sensitive sensors and a microprocessor based electronic system interpret the light beam interruptions as measurement data which are stored and can be displayed as desired.
    Type: Grant
