StrainView is the solution developed by Tecnosens for the automatic monitoring of residual stresses in glass containers. The system enables precise and repeatable measurements both on the bottom and side surfaces, ensuring compliance with quality standards and preventing breakages, contamination, and non-conformities.
High-precision, non-contact quality control
Based on advanced optical technology, StrainView uses a vision system with a proprietary camera and control software to measure optical deformation (Optical Delay) and internal mechanical stress (in MPa or psi) with high accuracy, providing a visual representation with color scale images.
Key features
-
Measurement of side and bottom stresses in glass containers
-
Result visualization through colorimetric images
-
Mold detection and identification
-
Data export in CSV format and integration with LIMS systems
-
Smart self-centering device for correct and quick sample positioning
-
Suitable for containers with diameters up to 80 mm and heights up to 550 mm
Why choose StrainView
