    摘要: A system for producing articles from glass tube includes a converter having a base with a plurality of processing stations and a turret moveable relative to the base. The turret indexes a plurality of holders for holding the glass tubes successively through the processing stations. The system further includes a thermal imaging system that includes a thermal imager coupled to the turret for movement with the turret. The thermal imaging system may also include a mirror coupled to the thermal imager and positioned to reflect infrared light from one of the plurality of holders to the thermal imager. The thermal imaging system may measure one or more characteristics of the glass tube during the conversion process. Processes for controlling the converter using the thermal imaging system to measure one or more process variables are also disclosed.

    摘要: A method of forming a blowback cavity in a vial or similar cylindrical article comprises the steps of providing a cylindrical glass preform having a necked region and first forming an open blowback cavity adjacent the necked region and a relatively thin axially projecting terminal lip on the adjacent end of the preform and subsequently turning the terminal lip inwardly to form a radially extending face defining a mouth opening having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the blowback cavity.

    摘要: A method for the manufacture of containers from glass tubes, particularly ampules, in which container blanks coming from a production machine are delivered intermittently and successively to processing stations arranged along a conveying route and reshaped and processed therein in successive operations. Each container blank is individually grasped immediately after its delivery from the production machine and is held rotatably about its lengthwise axis during processing in the processing stations. The container blanks may be transferred after being grasped to a position pointing their open ends downward, possibly in a vertical direction. The arrangement may provide for the stepwise conveyance of the container blanks, through clamping devices for holding a container blank on one end, with the blanks moving along the processing stations. These clamping units may be chucks with one or more leaf springs. The clamping units may pivot about axes perpendicular to their rotation axes from a horizontal to a vertical position of the container blanks. The clamping units are guided along a closed track, possibly circular, with the processing stations along the track.

    摘要: An improved end-forming machine for fluorescent lamp tubes which employs a single main splined shaft to drive both indexing units in unison while having the facility to accommodate all standard commercial glass lamp tubes which may vary in length from 96 inches to 14 inches. Additionally, the tooling for each indexing turret is always maintained in the same relationship with its associated turret for all turret spacings.
