Abstract

The usable output of glassware formation production line depends, among other factors, on the weight and shape of a lump of hot molten glass called a gob. In this paper, an automated image processing system for monitoring gob weight and shape on a production line is proposed. Present techniques often rely on manual weighing of gobs on a sample basis by manually controlling the gob feeder. The proposed automated image monitoring system checks the weight and shape of every free-falling gob before it reaches the mould. In this system, the estimated weight of the gob is sufficiently close to its actual weight.
