Multi-Camera Based Setup for Geometrical Measurement of Free-Falling Molten Glass Gob
High temperatures complicate the direct measurements needed for continuous characterization of the properties of molten materials such as glass. However, the assumption that geometrical changes when the molten material is in free-fall can be correlated with material characteristics such as viscosity...

| description | High temperatures complicate the direct measurements needed for continuous characterization of the properties of molten materials such as glass. However, the assumption that geometrical changes when the molten material is in free-fall can be correlated with material characteristics such as viscosity opens the door to a highly accurate contactless method characterizing small dynamic changes. This paper proposes multi-camera setup to achieve accuracy close to the segmentation error associated with the resolution of the images. The experimental setup presented shows that the geometrical parameters can be characterized dynamically through the whole free-fall process at a frame rate of 600 frames per second. The results achieved show the proposed multi-camera setup is suitable for estimating the length of free-falling molten objects. |
