Abstract
A method for the automated production of glass objects with a preset wall thickness, comprising: producing a series of glass objects, wherein each one of the glass objects of the series is produced by a process influenced by at least one process parameter; automatic measurement of an actual wall thickness of at least one of the glass objects and comparing the actual wall thickness with a preset target wall thickness; and automatic adjustment of at least one process parameter, based on the comparison of the actual wall thickness with the preset target thickness.

A method for the automated production of glass objects with a preset wall thickness, comprising:
- producing a series of glass objects, wherein each one of the glass objects of the series is produced by a process influenced by at least one process parameter;
- automatic measurement of an actual wall thickness of at least one of the glass objects and comparing the actual wall thickness or a value derived therefrom with a preset target wall thickness;
- and
- automatic adjustment of at least one process parameter, based on the comparison of the actual wall thickness with the preset target thickness.
An apparatus for the automated production of glass objects, having a predetermined wall thickness, preferably for electro-chemical sensors, comprising:
- a computer-based control system, which controls a process apparatus while producing a series of glass objects, wherein each one of said glass objects of the series is produced by a process influenced by at least one process parameter;
- a wall thickness measuring device for determining an actual wall thickness of a glass object arranged downstream to the process apparatus, which is connected to the control system for transmitting the measured actual wall thickness, said control system adjusts the at least one process parameter of the process apparatus for changing the process for the manufacture of each glass object to the target wall thickness by comparing the actual wall thickness or a value derived therefrom with a predetermined target wall thickness.
