Abstract
The invention relates to a method for producing a glass container, such as a glass syringe or a glass ampule, having a form-specific dispensing portion and optionally a form-specific counter support, from a glass container blank, wherein the basis weight of the glass container blank is detected indirectly or directly and the overall longitudinal extent of the glass container to be produced is determined on the basis of the detected basis weight.

A method for producing a glass container having a form-specific dispensing portion and optionally a form-specific counter support, from a glass container blank, comprising the steps of:
- indirectly or directly detecting the basis weight of the glass container blank;
- and
- determining, on the basis of the detected basis weight, an individual overall longitudinal extent of a semi-finished glass container to be formed to create the glass container.
A method for producing a glass container having a form-specific dispensing portion and optionally a form-specific counter support, from a glass container blank, comprising the steps of:
- heating the glass container blank at least in portions in order to form the dispensing portion and optionally the counter support;
- and
- indirectly or directly detecting the basis weight of the glass container blank before forming the dispensing portion and optionally the counter support;
- determining, on the basis of the detected basis weight of the glass container blank, an individual longitudinal extent of a leading end portion, from which the dispensing portion is to be formed, and optionally of a trailing end portion, from which the counter support is to be formed, is/are on the basis of the detected basis weight of the glass container blank;
- and
- determining an axial deformation point on the glass container blank on the basis of the determined longitudinal extent(s) to create the dispensing portion and optionally the counter support.
A glass container comprising a cylindrical base body, a tapering dispensing portion connecting to the base body, wherein the dispensing portion creates a front open end of the glass container and a rear end, optionally formed as counter support, which is in contact with the base body, wherein the front and the rear open ends are thermally cut.
A system for producing a glass container having a form-specific dispensing portion and optionally a form-specific counter support, from a glass container blank, said system comprising:
- sensor system for indirectly or directly detecting the basis weight of the glass container blank;
- and
- a processor unit designed to determine an individual overall longitudinal extent of a glass container to be formed to create the glass container on the basis of the detected basis weight.
