A device for manufacturing hollow glass articles, namely an IS machine, is characterized by a plurality of adjacent stations (3), which form a row and respectively accommodate at least one blank mold that encloses a mold cavity, the inner walls of which have to be coated with a lubricant in accordance with a defined spray pattern by means of a spraying device (8) that can be moved along the row during the course of the glass forming operation. In order to ensure a reproducible spray pattern, a calibration station (10) is provided and equipped with a test mold (12), wherein the spraying device (8) can be displaced up to an inspection position, in which it is arranged opposite of the calibration station (10), in order to verify the correct function of a lubrication process based on a spray pattern in the test mold (12) and, if necessary, to correct the lubrication process.
A device for manufacturing hollow glass articles, namely an IS machine, consisting of a plurality of adjacently arranged stations (3), which respectively comprise at least one blank mold, and featuring a spraying device (8), which can be displaced along the row of stations (3) and stopped in discrete working positions that are respectively assigned to a station (3) in order to apply a lubricant on the inner sides of the mold cavity of a blank mold, characterized by a calibration station (10) that is designed for inspecting and for adjusting a spray pattern that represents the distribution of the lubricant in a defined surface area on the inner walls of the blank mold, wherein the spraying device (8) can be additionally displaced into an inspection position assigned to the calibration station (10).
