Since the beginning of March 2019, Saint Gobain Glassolutions Eckelt Glas GmbH uses a SOFTSOLUTION LineScanner for anisotropy and edge stress testing on a tempering furnace.

The LineScanner performs an exact measurement of the anisotropies and edge stress, in nanometers and megapascals, of the heat-treated lite after a Glaston tempering furnace.

Mr. Guillaume Kaminski - technical director and contact person in this project - placed special emphasis on measuring accuracy of the deceleration values ​​and above all on repeatability with regard to position and rotation. Based on the telecentric structure of the LineScanner with precise polarization filters, the expectations could more than be met.



"We are very pleased that we have been able to gain another key player in the field of contract construction with Saint Gobain Glassolutions Eckelt Glas GmbH in Steyr." In the context of our cooperation, we will exchange know-how in order to improve the LineScanner in the future." says International Sales Manager Markus Stefan
