As a global glass container supplier at the forefront of new manufacturing techniques, Wiegand-Glas - a long-time partner of Emhart Glass - embraced Emhart Inex's MiniLab glass container measurement technology shortly after its introduction. After purchasing 10 systems for its global manufacturing facilities, Wiegand recently ordered four additional systems for its manufacturing plants in Steinbach am Wald and Grossbreitenback, Germany. The MiniLab offers a new approach to automated glass container sampling with significant production benefits, providing quantitative measurement data and replacing mechanical go-no-go measuring techniques with a non-contact, camera-based platform that tests more parameters at higher speeds and achieves good process stability.
