Tin side detector

Bohle America, Charlotte, N.C., introduced the TinCheck tin side detector. The compact device enables glass finishers and manufacturers of insulating glass to quickly and easily identify the tin side of float glass. TinCheck uses electronic components to graphically display the correct result after just one measurement. When the tin side is detected, a green diode lights up; the atmospheric side is indicated by a red diode. An acoustical signal is available for color-blind customers. In Mode A, the tool presents its results based on stored reference measurements of sample glass panes of various glass manufacturers. In Mode B, the user can make a comparison measurement (measurement from both sides) on a reference pane of glass to define a threshold value and store it in the tool. Thus a correct result can be achieved even with uncommon glass. With LED lamps and an automatic switch-off after approximately 90 seconds, energy consumption is low. Included batteries ensure long operation, according to a release.
