Abstract
During the glass bottle forming process a pair of arms is used to form the bottle one after another is rapid succession; a bottle is formed in a glass machine in approximately three to four seconds. The machine is exposed to extremes in temperature as well as extremes in pressure. One of the chief issues with the operation of this machine are the interruption of use of the machine if the machine should fail or begin to produce defective bottles. Any shutdown of the machine leads to disruption in production and is unwelcome.
