Another system can pick single lites from slotted racks and load them onto the IG production line. Using proprietary vision technology, the system can precisely locate the rack slots to load and unload glass and can be calibrated for various glass and unit thicknesses. Capable of handling a large range of glass sizes, the system also features seamless integration with line controls.QComp Technologies Inc. www.qcomptech.com920.757.0775
