To ensure optimum cutting performance, we recommend measuring stress in cross-section through the thickness of the glass. To learn more, please click How to Improve Cutting Quality in Float Glass.pdf

NEW!   PS-500 On-Line Visual System for monitoring stresses in  
             float glass. Accurate and cost-effective way to optimize
             process control for improved cutting and product quality.

The SCA-1500 on-line float glass stress scanner automatically measures and reports residual stress across the glass ribbon at the cold end of the float line. It features user-friendly PC-based operation, and requires no special operator skills or training. Field-proven technology and reliability have made the SCA-1500 the choice of the world's leading primary glass manufacturers.

• Measures an unlimited range of measured retardation with resolution of 1 nm (15 psi in 1/8-inch glass)
  
• Capable of measuring retardation in materials as hot as 1000˚ C
  
• Speed of response (100 milliseconds) exceeds all other glass stress measuring instruments
  
• Displays graphs and tables of total stress, thermally induced (temporary) stress, permanent  stress, or all three 
  
• Provides data formats for off-line storage and analysis
