The Agr International Gawis4Glass® Automated Dimensional and Thickness Measurement System is 100% designed, engineered, and manufactured in the United States by Agr International, Inc. – the internationally acclaimed global authority in container testing, dimensional metrology, and physical strength testing instrumentation. Specifically optimized to satisfy the rigorous quality control and lightweighting demands of the commercial glass industry, Gawis4Glass® adapts Agr’s renowned Gawis 4D measurement architecture to the specialized optical transmission, reflection, and structural properties of glass bottles, jars, and pharmaceutical containers.

The foundational operational breakthrough of Gawis4Glass® is Agr's proprietary AutoJob® automated job setup technology. Historically, creating measurement routines for complex glass containers required hours of meticulous manual configuration; AutoJob® completely automates this process within seconds. When a specimen is loaded, the intelligent vision system scans the container profile, automatically identifies key finish, body, and base features, and builds a comprehensive test recipe immediately. High-resolution telecentric optical imaging eliminates perspective and optical distortion, delivering laboratory-grade measurement integrity across intricate finish dimensions (including T, E, D, H, and S elements), body diameters, body/neck lean, and base push-up depth with accuracy far exceeding typical bottle design specifications.

In addition to exterior dimensional metrology, Gawis4Glass® incorporates a high-precision non-contact thickness measurement engine. The system performs vertical and horizontal thickness distribution scans across critical regions, including the neck, shoulder, body sidewall, and heel, as well as discrete point thickness evaluations. Its precision automated rotary stage handles standard round containers as well as challenging non-round, oval, and shaped bottles with equal precision. For high-volume testing facilities, the platform supports the Gawis AF™ robotic handling option, enabling true walk-away testing with carousel-fed automated sample positioning. Featuring an intuitive large touchscreen HMI, automatic mold cavity correlation, and seamless Industry 4.0 networking, Gawis4Glass® represents the premier modern quality assurance standard for glass container manufacturing and filling facilities worldwide.
