More investment at Glass Systems Ltd
17th July 2012

Glass Systems Ltd, has invested £40,000 in a Viprotron Scanner to monitor glass quality and further improve efficiencies at their Swansea factory.

Situated on the sealed unit production line, the Viprotron Scanner uses the latest generation of intelligent CCD cameras and an intuitive Windows-based user interface to reliably monitor quality within the assembly process. It enables the operators to quickly identify marks or blemishes to the glass surface, including defects that are sometimes not visible in factory conditions.

Managing director Alan Atkinson comments: “The Viprotron Scanner is another major acquisition for Glass Systems and will significantly improve the quality of sealed units leaving our factory. With the high volume of sealed units we produce any machinery that can help us operate more efficiently, and at the same time improve the quality of the finished product, is not only a huge benefit to Glass Systems Ltd, but also to our customers. It ultimately means we can offer a faster turnaround and still offer the same high quality that we have become renowned for.”

“We have invested over £2m across the three business divisions (Glass Systems Ltd, Glass Systems Direct Ltd and Climate) in the last two years” Alan adds. “This has considerably strengthened the infrastructure at the Glass Systems Group and further cements our position as the UK’s leading sealed unit manufacturers.”
