Looking to log CE hours that directly translate to better tempering results — specifically quench balance tuning and maintenance routines to keep roller wave under 0.08 mm on 6 mm glass. Has anyone taken an NGA or OEM course that dives into anisotropy/roller wave measurement (e.g., Osprey data), VFD/blower maintenance, and basic SPC, and can confirm if it provides 4–8 CE credits?
I’ve had the best results pairing an OEM day at Glaston Academy with an NGA/MyGlassClass SPC module — Glaston’s maintenance clinic covered VFD/blower balance and pulling usable Osprey quench trends, and the MyGlassClass “SPC for Fabrication” piece filled the control-chart gap (https://www.myglassclass.com), which our program accepted as about 5 CE hours total, though your mileage may vary. Quick win you can apply tomorrow: chart weekly quench pressure and zone temps as an Xbar–R and correlate to anisotropy/roller-wave scans; that alone kept our 6 mm runs hovering about 0.07 mm. It’s like tuning an old carb once the blower curve’s right.
I logged 6 CEUs through Glaston Academy’s Quench Maintenance clinic; they covered reading Osprey anisotropy, VFD tuning, and SPC basics — https://www.glaston.net/services/training/. What moved our 6 mm runs was locking a clean-baseline quench static vs. Hz curve and charting it; when static drifted about 5%, we rebalanced and kept roller wave at about 0.07 mm.
