Key Application: Laminating Lines, Extruded Sheet Plastic

OSPREY^® 10 DISTORTION

KEY APPLICATION

Tempering Furnaces

The highest standard for precision and durability.

The Osprey^® is a sophisticated, on-line visual inspection system that measures optical distortion of all types, including roll wave, edge kink, picture framing, corner lift, belly banding, vertical kink, bi-stability, saddle bow, bird’s eye, pocket, hammer and any other distortion in heat-treated and laminated glass, solar PV and sheet plastic. The Osprey^® 10 Distortion by LiteSentry^™ exceeds all industry requirements, providing optimal process control.

High resolution visible light cameras inspect sheets from 500-3500 mm (20-138 inches) wide
Patented reflected white LED lighting and optics provide accurate dynamic measurement of optical distortion in mD (millidiopters) and peak-to-valley measurement in millimeters or inches

ECONOMIC BENEFITS

Beneﬁt	Improvement	Value	Annual Cost Savings
Quality Improvement	Reduce product returns	Avoid expense of $1,000-$20,000 per incident for repair or replacement	Typical $20,000
Improved Yield	Reduce losses in downstream fabrication (IG and lamination)	Avoid losses of $50 per IG, $150 per laminate, 10 each per month	$24,000
Improved Throughput	Better process control increases furnace efﬁciency	Up to 5% production gain of 630 sq meters (6,775 sf) = $4,750/month	$57,000
Decreased Quench Break	Better process control decreases loss due to quench break	1% production gain of 125 sq meters (1,355 sf) = $950/month	$11,400
Reduced Labor	100% machine inspection replaces off-line human inspection	Save up to 25% FTE (2 shift production)	Up to $25,000
Greater Customer Satisfaction	Higher quality product; more positive market perception of company	More competitive bids; opportunities in new, high-margin markets	$$$$$
Total ANNUAL Cost Savings, not including new business opportunities: $137,400+

Assumptions based on data from current Osprey users:

Typical replacement costs reflect a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial products
12,500 square meters (134,000 sf) per month typical production through tempering plant
Average total value of tempered product (including glass and tempering cost) = $10/square meter ($.95/sf)
Labor cost including salary and benefits = $50,000/year

ADDITIONAL INFO

The patented Osprey^® 10 Distortion Inspection system by LiteSentry^™ is the industry standard for real-time inspection and measurement of tempered glass and sheet plastic. The Osprey^® is the only system meeting the requirements of leading architects, Vitro (formerly PPG) Certified Network, Guardian Select Fabricators, and suppliers to U.S. government contracts.

The Osprey^® is designed and manufactured in the U.S. to the highest standards of precision and durability. Using patented optics, high-speed cameras and powerful algorithms, the Osprey^® 10 measures all types of optical distortion including:

roll wave
edge kink
local bow
pocket
side kink
hammer
bird’s eye
picture framing
belly banding
edge lift
corner lift
bi-stability
saddle bow
oil-canning
soft-center
center kink
vertical kink

Since the Osprey^® was invented in 1999, hundreds of systems have been installed in tempering plants on five continents, providing state-of-the-art technology in optical distortion inspection for heat-treated glass and sheet plastic. The Osprey^® works with any heat treatment / tempering / toughening line and is designed for installation on tempering lines manufactured by Cooltemper/TCME, EFCO, Glasstech, Glaston, Jinglass, Keraglass, Landglass, Lisec, Mappi, Northglass, Taifin, Tamglass, tk, Uniglass, and Yuntong.
