MGM – Mobile Glass Thickness Measurement

Measure wall thickness. Wherever you need it.

The MGM allows wall thickness to be measured directly wherever it is needed, from spot checks during production to measurements in the laboratory.

From production line to laboratory

Today on line A, then on line B, and tomorrow in the lab. Thanks to its compact design, the MGM can easily be taken to the next point of use and put straight into service for the next measurement.

Versatile for everyday inspection tasks

01

Spot checks

Inspect individual containers directly in production.

02

Investigating irregularities

Inspect unusual containers or specific areas in a targeted way.

03

Mould set inspection

Inspect the wall thickness of containers from a mould set.

04

Cross-checking

Verify measurement results separately, for example after setup or during a product changeover.

05

Laboratory

Carry out stationary wall thickness measurements.

Position the probe.
Start the measurement.
View the results.

The MGM combines measurement, operation and result display in one compact overall system.

  1. Use one hand to guide the measuring head along the glass. Use the other hand to hold, rotate, and position the container.
  2. The measurement is triggered directly at the measuring head. This allows for targeted measurement of different areas of the container.
  3. Measurement values and measurement status are shown on the large, built-in display.

Measurements at a glance

The built-in display shows the current wall thickness, as well as the minimum and maximum values of a measurement. The measurement history can also be displayed graphically.
