Handling of glass sheets with thickness up to 100 mm

Date: 9 October 2014

Hours of the live demonstrations at our booth at Glasstec 2014 - During the four exhibition days, at 10:00 - 12:00 - 14:00 - 16:00 o'clock, we will perform live grinding demonstrations of glass sheets with thicknesses up to 100 mm, moved by a light bridge crane with suction cups.

The light bridge crane will be joined to our spindle edger with variable angle with 15 wheels, model TLS 15 AV C PC SP100.The conveyor is capable of handling weights up to 1.100 Kg (2.200 Kg on the whole machine). It can process thicknesses up to 100 mm, with sizes up to 12.0 mt x 3,21 mt.



Other features on the TLS-15 model displayed are:



  • OT 300 Motorized Washing Machine fitted on the outlet conveyor completely cleans and dry’s the processed edge of the glass sheets. It automatically position itself according to the glass thickness set on the machine;

  • independent motorization on the outlet conveyor;

  • pneumatic tooth-type coupling (clutch) both on the inlet and the outlet conveyor to help reduce wear and tear on the conveyors while loading and offloading glass;

  • filters for the water tank which collect the remains of the laminates from the processed glass preventing clogging of the water lines;

  • conveyor without bearings: this solution allows Lattuada Machines to carry high weights and also to absorb even the smallest differences in thickness of the laminated glass;

  • PC to manage all working phases of the TLS-15;

  • front controls for the rear arris on the diamond and polishing spindles: a device to help the operator make adjustments from the front versus behind the machine which saves precious time;

  • ultrasonic sensor detects glass entering the machine: This guarantees toughness, long durability, precision and total insensitivity to water and dirt;

  • oil equipment with end-line pressure switch: an additional safety to guarantee in every moment the perfect working of the fundamental lubrication system;

  • cylinders with brakes for the automatic recovery of the polishing arris wheels wear.



Come to personally test the Lattuada quality also on great thicknesses: we wait for you at Pavilion 16 - Booth 16D38.
