Auto-Sampling
Automated, in-line dimensional checks - no operator needed.
Fully networkable and designed for hands-free operation, the Auto-Sampling variant integrates directly into the line to perform routine dimensional checks automatically. Customisable inspection frequencies enable continuous process feedback while reducing labour demands and supporting digital transformation goals.
Benefits include:
• Scheduled hourly* dimensional checks
• Reduced operator involvement
• Real-time, production-driven data for process control
*Frequency customisable to suit production needs
This variant can also be supplied for the laboratory for automated batch testing.
Hot-End
Critical defect detection before the Lehr.
The Hot-End DGM-C variant allows operators to inspect bottles at temperatures up to 300°C, immediately after forming and before entering the Lehr. By identifying key defects early, it helps reduce waste, save Lehr time, and boost job-change efficiency — all without waiting for cold-end analysis.
Benefits include:
• Saves time, energy, and scrap
• Up to 1.5 hours saved per job change
• Ideal for quick-checking sample bottles before the Lehr
Standalone
Flexible and compact for bench-side quality checks.
The Standalone DGM-C is designed for use in laboratories or directly beside the production line, giving operators quick access to accurate dimensional data. Ideal for regular sampling and QA analysis, it supports fast, in-depth insight into production quality.
Optional Extras
Finish Dimensioning Software
Glass Thickness Measurement
