About GobWatch

Gob Weight Control, Gob Inspection and Gob Monitoring

The Cortex Glass GobWatch system automatically controls the gob weight of single and multi gob weight feeders, monitors the gob shape and falling angle, inspects every flint glass gob for inclusions like seeds, bubbles and stones and rejects glass products with inclusions directly after the glass forming machine!

The GobWatch is very easy to use, significantly improves the product quality and productivity and has a fast payback time.

The closed loop gob weight control function of the GobWatch stabilizes the gob weight (±0.05% achievable) and shortens the Job-Change time (more than 30 minutes).

The GobWatch system counts the number of seeds and bubbles in flint glass and provides information about their sizes.

Non-round and engraved glass products like perfume bottles are difficult to inspect at the cold end. When the GobWatch detects a blister, bubble, cord, stone or other inclusion in a flint glass gob, the system rejects the formed glass product directly after the IS-machine.

The GobWatch system can also reject formed glass products with gob weight deviations, gob length deviations or gob falling angle deviations.
