GLASSWARE MOLD PYROMETRY

摘要

An apparatus to sense temperature in a glassware forming machine. A mold body (12) includes an exterior surface (20), a mold cavity (26) having an interior mold surface (27), and a blind hole (34) having a closed end (38) including a closed end surface (39) adjacent to and spaced outwardly from the interior mold surface, wherein the blind hole extends outwardly from the closed end surface toward the exterior surface. The mold body is removably carried on a mold hanger (14), and a light collector (54) is carried by the mold hanger to collect infrared light emitted within the blind hole.
