Helping clients meet increasingly challenging product specifications
Increasingly tight dimensional tolerances, dosage control and line rejection targets have led to a surge in demand for dimensional verification of glass packaging and components by leading experts in glass, Glass Technology Services. The UK-based
laboratories continue to expand their capabilities and capacity through strategic investments in staff and equipment to meet growing demands.
Extending their dimensional measurement capabilities across a range of glass products and specialist components, a vision measuring system has been commissioned and installed. This extends the comprehensive range of dimensional measurements and specification checks already provided to clients across pharmaceuticals, components, food and drinks, photonics and glass manufacturing sectors.
The vision measuring system allows GTS to provide more accurate dimensional measurements in a fraction of the time it currently takes for manual and profile-projection techniques, as well as allowing automated measurement of large sample batches. Measurements are non-contact, repeatable and allow accurate measurement and evaluation of complex three-dimensional components, closures, drug delivery systems as well as traditionally challenging measurements such as sink, bulge, surface flatness and to highlight accurate internal profiling and wall thickness for flexible and pressure-sensitive items such as component assemblies and flexible stopper materials.
