Glass scanner I-Mike
Glass-Scanner I-Mike
for non-contact measurement of transparent articles. The dimensions can also be recorded at the hot end of production. For glass tubes, the diameter and the wall thickness are determined at the same time; diameter and refractive index can be recorded for glass rods. As part of a measuring machine, the I-Mike can also be used to precisely measure siding, ovality, eccentricity and the bending of glass tubes.
Measurements
Application areas
- Position
- Diameter (round items), dimensions
- Wall thickness / inner diameter (tubes inline / offline)
- Siding / ovality, eccentricity, bending (rods, tubes offline)
- Refractive Index (Rods)
- Two diameters (perpendicular and parallel to the optical axis) for rods.
- Birefringence of tubes/rods
- polarimetric measurements
Application areas
Production control
The objects can already be precisely measured during production (even at the hot end). As a result, production can be decisively improved: Manufacturing tolerances and rejects can be minimized.
Quality control
The software (IMD) contains functions for creating test reports for tubes and bars. These contain the extrema as well as the mean values of diameter and wall thickness as well as siding, ovality and bending.
Volumetry
The enclosed volume can be determined by measuring the inner diameter over the length of the object. The usual filling can be omitted (TRL 2).

Measuring principle
- Telecentric laser scanner (evaluation of the object shadow)
- Determination of other parameters by evaluating beam paths through the test object
Software IMD (Windows)
IMD functions
- Numerical and graphic display of the measured values
- Creation of test reports:
Design, display and printout of the measurement results - Multiple user levels ensure that users with different skills (operators...developers) get the functionality that is relevant to them
- Export, print, data logs and graphs
- Log of raw and measured data
- Saving and subsequent reading in of sensor data
- Calibration by showing reference objects
- Definition of measurement functions
