automatic flat glass processing

The Bovone Robotic System for automation of flat glass processing integrates dedicated warehouses for slab storage houses, two vertical edging machines, a vertical washing machine, and two or three multi-axis anthropomorphic robots that operate automatically. The slabs are handled by anthropomorphic robotic arms that position them inside the Bovone edging machines to carry out the various edge-processing stages. The robots can handle glass of different sizes and shapes.

Protective film application

The Spartan is designed to apply pressure-sensitive protective film, bubble- and crease-free, to glass and mirrors, stainless steel, aluminum, acrylic and most other flat sheet materials. Available in single- or double-sided versions, manual operator or motor-driven, material thickness from 0.3 to 30 millimeters, and models for sheet widths of up to 650 mm, 1,600 mm and 2,000 mm. It is suitable for a wide range of pressure-sensitive films.

Automated production line

The MC 316 Fabcenter automated production line by Mecal is an advanced manufacturing cell, sawing and machining line, for aluminum and PVC windows and doors, or similar extrusions. Consisting of a horizontal loading table with user-definable partitions, the processing unit contains a 3-axis sawing head and 6-spindle—with an option for 8—machining element with 360-degree rotation of the tool-holding frame. A material rotation axis on the gripper to add machining capability is optional.

interlayer trimmer

The PDS IG horizontal interlayer trimmer offers customers a safe alternative to removing excess interlayer material found on the perimeters of laminated glass post lamination production.  The system comes equipped with an automated cutting head that runs across the edge of the glass removing the material with great precision and accuracy.  An integrated IR heating system allows fabricators who are producing SGP type materials a quick, automated opportunity to heat and remove edge materials.
