The object of this research consists of an innovative pre - breaking system of primary glass containers such as ampoules and cartridges that not only do they have direct contact with liquids for pharmaceutical use but also with cosmetic and foodstuffs. The main part of these glass containers (ampoules) are equipped with a pre breaking systems to help the end user open them. The current methods which are used (colour-break, scoring, one -point-cut) are quite difficult to handle due to the poor stability and consequent pollution of the internal liquid during the opening phase. The ceramical paints are not environmentally sound and therefore are bound to create pollution. Reduced machine up-time 85%. The aim of the project is to come up with and test a prototypal laser unit which can actually carry out a pre breaking etching without having to fall back on other polluting materials for external use, thus minimising the liquid contamination. The up-time will then be 92%.
