LMI Glass Measurement Application        LMI has been a measurement solutions provider     to the glass industry for nearly 20 years.       Customers such as AGC Automotive, Pilkington     and PPG have standardized on the use of LMI     measurement tools for their glass     measurements.       These tools include the LMI 241-Blade gage     which measures both size and form of the glass     simultaneously.

The LMI 241-B gauge attaches to the LMI 776 block mounted at each checkpoint location to     measure the size and form of glass. The patented mounting block system insures that the glass is     measured at the same location each time. Gage R&R of this system are usually less than     5%.Constructed out of aircraft aluminum and hardened steel, the LMI 241-B gauge is designed     specifically for shop floor use.

This measurement system can use either a     LMI 440 Data Collector or a LMI 585 Plus     Digital Transmitter to collect and/or view     dynamic gauge readings.       There is a RF option available for use with the     LMI 585 Plus and LMI 5000 Data Collect     Software which can be used to view readings     around a graphic. Customers using these     products have a lot of options to customize     their measurement solutions.

There is an ever increasing need to reduce the labor required to measure glass and eliminate     measurement error. The LMI 5000 AutoGage system is designed to measure up to 128 points     simultaneously and can be used in an automated measurement station with a PLC or manually     loaded checking fixture. The measurement probes, LMI 5200 probe and LMI 5300 probe can be air or     spring actuated and have 10mm of precision travel. Custom features such as rate of change     equations and special data exports are LMI 's specialty.

Centering of glass has long been a concern before actual measuring size and   form. The LMI 560 Null indicator is designed to measure the glass on each end   and provide a large display for the operator to use for centering.       For Further Information please contact an LMI customer representative.
