This year at Glasstec we will process glasses with a 100 mm thickness!

Date: 16 September 2014

The only one able to vertical grind glasses with a 100 mm thickness - The 15-wheels edging machine with variable angle we will display at Glasstec, can carry a weight on the conveyor up to 1.100 Kg (2.200 Kg total on the whole machine) and process thicknesses up to 100 mm and with a size up to 12 x 3,21 mt.   The machine will work no-stop during the four exhibition days, to show you the high quality we can offer also on great thicknesses, to this model will be joined a light bridge crane with suction cups for the handling of the glass sheets processed by the machine: live demonstrations will be performed every day!Furthermore the edging machine will be equipped with: motorized washing machine model OT 300, fitted on the outlet conveyor and which allows a complete cleaning and drying of the processed edges of the glass sheets.

It can automatically position itself according to the glass thickness set on the machine;

  • independent motorization on the outlet conveyor

  • pneumatic tooth-type coupling on inlet and outlet conveyor to help the load and unload of the glass;

  • filters for the water tank to collect the remains of the films used for the glass lamination;

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

  • PC for all working phases management;

  • front regulation of the diamond and polishing rear arris spindle: a device to help the operator who can save precious time in this activity, not having to do it from the rear of the machine;

  • glass entrance ultrasonic sensor: guarantee of toughness, long durability, precision and total insensitivity to water and dirt;

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

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


  • The possibilities to customize our edging machines are countless!

    Here below some pictures of glass samples processed by our edging machine model TLS 15 AV C PC SP100.
