<p>This degree project has been carried out in cooperation with Gedevelop in Helsingborg.</p><p>Gedevelop has developed a camera that can calculate the weight of a liquid glass mass.</p><p>Because of the density and viscosity changes in the glass, the weight information is</p><p>sometimes incorrect given. Glass industry is today addressing the problem by an operator</p><p>performing a manual weighing of a few bottles which, in turn, calibrates the camera system.</p><p>The project aimed to develop an automated system to control the weighing of glass bottles for</p><p>glass industries. This system must be so flexible that it can be easily mounted on plants with</p><p>different production equipment around the world.</p><p>The project includes design and construction of equipment that meets the requirements</p><p>formulated together with Gedevelop. Work has been done both in Halmstad and Helsingborg</p><p>and has included both calculations and review of the theory to understand the forces that</p><p>influence the design of different construction parts. A prototype was produced that meets the</p><p>operating requirements for the design and can be used in testing features. However, the design</p><p>does not meet the requirements to be set up at a production line because it does not pass the</p><p>temperature appearing in glass industry. This can easily be remedied by further modification</p><p>of the design in terms of protection of stainless steel.</p>
