Automated system and method of cleaning moulds, blank moulds and accessories used in the production of glass packaging

摘要

The notification shall cover an automated system and means of cleaning the forms, preforms and equipment used for the production of glass packaging. The automated cleaning of moulds, preforms and equipment made of metal, in particular iron, used in the manufacture of glass packaging involves the removal of pollutants, in particular graphite grease, from the cleaned surface by laser ablation using an impulse laser. The surface to be cleaned shall first be scanned using a 3D scanner (12),favourably mounted industrial robot (7),and the shape of the cleaned surface shall be measured and on the basis of the scan obtained, using specialised software, Automatically generate laser head (6) motion paths mounted on the robot node (7) and/or motion path of the said laser head is generated on the basis of specially prepared input files containing the geometry of the cleaned surface, and determines cleaning parameters such as angle, speed,the power and shape of the beam, then directing the beam of laser radiation to the purified surface according to the generated path of motion and parameters.
