Abstract:
Modern glass container production machines process up to 200 glass gobs per minute. The glass gobs are supplied from the molten mass to the machines by a feeding system. It is important that the weight of the glass gobs generated by a dosing device be kept approximately constant, since weight fluctuations may cause lower quality articles or even rejects to be produced. The weight of the generated glass gobs must therefore be continuously controlled. The object of the invention is to develop a process for determining the weight of molten glass gobs with simple technical means appropriate for the rough operation conditions of a glass melting plant. For that purpose, the molten glass gobs (1) fall freely through an electromagnetic alternating field (2) and the resulting eddy current losses of the alternating field are sensed and used to determine the weight of the glass gobs.
Abstract:
A force sensor comprises a sensing system including a target piece and a sensing element, configured to provide changes of a magnetic field, being generated by motion of the target piece. The sensing element senses these changes and provides a signal representative of the position of the target piece. An integrated circuit with processing means can process signals from the sensing element. A semiconductor package includes at least the integrated circuit. A flexible piece comprises the target, and it is attached to the semiconductor package, where the attachment area between the flexible piece and the semiconductor package does not extend beyond the top projection, or outline, of the semiconductor package. The flexible piece receives a force stimulus, so that upon exerting a force on the flexible piece, the displacement of the target piece with respect to the surface of the semiconductor package can be sensed by the sensing element.
