Making fabricated glass right and tolerance tight - higher quality for glass fabricators
Final Decision Maker: glass fabrication shop owners

The first flat glass fabrication quality control measuring device that enables faster inspection of custom fabricated glass within .005" tolerance - 50 times more accurate than traditional hand measurements. Designed by mirror and commercial flat glass industry experts at one of the oldest and most successful U.S. based flat glass manufacturers, this unit verifies shape, size, flatness, holes, and notches up to 10 times faster, ensuring that the product meets critical customer specifications. It also eliminates time-consuming and expensive in-process inspections, constant re-training of personnel and subjective operator judgment to achieve world class product quality of 99.99% for the flat glass industry in commercial and residential applications.  We are so sure that this product performs as specified that we warrant its use over a lifetime of normal use and re-calibration. If the product fails to meet specifications, we will reimburse your company the total cost of time, materials and delivery up to $1mm per occurrence.
