With
the new centering systems available from Applied Composites
Engineering, checking and centering
your automotive glass to a center datum is no longer a guessing
game. These systems can center all sizes of glass from a sunroof
to a bus windshield. All systems can be fitted to a check gage,
assembly fixture or sold as a stand-alone unit to be incorporated
with your existing gage system.
Three
Systems Are Currently Available:
Our fully automatic system is a robust unit that has been in
commercial operation for four years. This dynamic centering
system is self tuning to provide centering of glass better than
0.1 mm. Glass weight, size, bend, male or female gage surface
and the changing resistance of friction between glass and gage
surface is consistently tuned assuring centered
glass in all environments. Whether operator or robotic load,
this system can be easily tied into your data acquisition programming
for hands freeactivation of sensors and data collection. Where
glass is large and cumbersome, you will not find a better system
on the market today. Patent Pending! |
Our
best value is the digital centering system where the operator
positions the glass. No more subjective moves, fingertip feel
or eye alignment. The digital, "CROS", (Centering
Read Out System), allows the QC or Supervisory staff to set
a pre-determined bandwidth of
acceptance. The operator is fed back the distance to move visually
on a bar graph. Once in an acceptable range, a red and green
light display informs the operator of their success. This unit
can also be tied into your data acquisition system and assure
no readings will be recorded until the glass is within the centered
tolerance. |
|
For the cost conscious, our analogue CROS system is unbeatable.
The analogue read out gives the operator a large precise feed
back on how accurate he or she has positioned the glass. Instructions
can be given on what is and is not acceptable eliminating the
subjective feel from the operator. |

Both our "CROS" systems were designed and built
for the sole purpose of centering automotive glass and come
complete with all necessary hardware ready to bolt on. |
