Quality off IG Lines
Overview
The process for ensuring good quality off IG lines.
Definitions
Procedure
-
As an IG unit is coming off the line, visually inspect it checking for: offsets lites, voids, correct hotmelt coverage, acceptable sightline, scratches, flaws, and grids (if has grids).
- If you have any quality questions, reference AMSCO Windows Glass Inspection Criteria.
- On the 7500: Pair the glass sticker with the next unit on the overhead computer monitor. Ensure the size and invoice number match.
-
Measure the IG unit.
- On custom measure every tenth unit.
- On remakes measure everyone.
-
Pinch and scoop / pack the corners of the IG unit with a green silicone pinch pad.
- Perform this task in this order: top right, top left, bottom left, bottom right (once it’s on a harp).
- On an IC line: Pull/Pinch the mended corner.
- Use a hotmelt stick to clean off any excessive hotmelt on the IG unit making sure it is 100% clean of hot melt or other debris inside and out.
- Check the low-e orientation of the lites.
-
Off load the IG unit into a harp or green rack.
- When off loading, place the clear lite to the left and low-e lite to the right.
- When using a ¾” harp, flip both top and bottom arms up prior to slotting in the unit.
- Call over your team lead if hotmelt becomes excessive or any question you may have about quality on the unit.
