SmartGroup America will promote the SG450 and SG650 lifters during the show. The SG Lift is developed by the engineers of the original Smartlift and has been updated for improved functionality, safety and productivity. Electric motors power the hydraulic pistons to lift heavier loads faster. All SG lifts can reach 18 feet 6 inches high, and the load cell is monitored with an LED readout showing when the unit is approaching its load capacity. Booth #2097.

Jordon Glass is pleased to introduce the Eco³Box coolant cleaning system by Filtraglass. The Eco³Box system is a water filtration system that separates and discards floating glass particles found in your coolant grind-water and discards them as dried-solids in a simple and environmentally friendly way. Eliminating floating glass-particle from your coolant water prolongs the life of your machine and ensures that your machine has a constant flow of clean water delivered to the grinding, polishing, or milling spindles. Clean water helps you obtain a brighter finish on your glass edge and bevel trim.  

The Z-Series is our premium glass washer and is offered in 70", 96", 110" and 132". The Z Series platform is a high-performance glass cleaning system focused on the bottom line.  Intelligent maintenance features and high-level process control help to place this washer above others.  The Z-Series is engineered to sustain an optimum level of cleaning over years of continuous use and offers easy access to internal components for cleaning, maintenance, and minimal downtime.

The GM2000-26 is Ergo's tallest robot, reaching up to 26' for flush glazing, and up to 28' for skylights. It can handle up to 2000 lbs of glass with ease, all powered by pressure-sensitive wireless hydraulics utilizing our custom Micro Motion technology for extremely delicate maneuvers. It has an electric drive system with lots of safety features and tons of hydraulic manipulations. The boom can extend up to 26' feet vertically, and the head can tilt 180°, rotate 180°, swivel to each side 35°, 4" side-shift all with our powerful and delicate hydraulics. With EZ Pick you can project the glass forward at any angle. Plenty of additional options are available, and keep in mind that we love custom work!

Bavelloni VE500 V10 is a straight-line mitering machine equipped with ten spindles for processing miters with variable angle from 0 to 45 degrees. It has been specifically designed for processing heavy glass sheets and can be configured with a wide range of options to satisfy different production requirements.

Bavelloni VDM 1636 CN – Vertical milling and drilling machine designed for shower door production and architectural applications. Equipped with opposing spindles, each with a rotating eight position tool storage, it is extremely user friendly, designed with the most advanced technical solutions to ensure high working accuracy. Milling is performed while the glass is in a fixed position to achieve better grinding quality and higher grinding speed. The control device combines professional numerical control (NC) with the convenience of a PC working in a Microsoft Windows environment.

Please watch the video of our latest semi-jumbo(108- by 144-inch) CNC Linear Motor glass cutting line, including a robotic glass loading system, which can load 25 to 30 different types of glass. The design minimized floor space requirements while also accommodating building column interferences. Glassline’s CNC LM Cutting Machine design provides high speed, high acceleration, AND tight tolerances. It is very low maintenance due to the use of linear motors and a patented direct drive cutting head, eliminating the use of any belts or gears to wear.

Appliance, as well as some other manufacturers, need to process small parts for things such as refrigerator shelves. It is more costly and difficult to handle if the raw glass comes from the float line in small pieces. Therefore a slitting line is one solution, whereby the glass can be shipped in larger blanks, and slit, or cut down into the smaller pieces required. Slitting is the process of using multiple cutting heads to score a sheet in a straight line. This slitting can happen with the glass moving past fixed cutting heads, or by placing the cutting heads on a bridge with the glass fixed in position. In the case of the example shown, the block is automatically loaded by our overhead loader, and the block is automatically positioned so that the slit pieces are of a nominal size tolerance. The glass is then transferred under the slitting bridge which has five slitting heads. These heads are automatically set up to size by the program based on the size of the block and the size of the parts desired. The glass is then transferred, the scores are snapped, and the individual parts are fed into a Glassline double edger, which is the only edger fast enough to handle parts at this speed. Other slitting configurations can be proposed depending on your needs.

Accurate digital measuring for Flat or Curved glass made easy!

Glass fabricators using the Proliner have improved their overall production process by significantly reducing the time required for measuring and creating digital templates for glass constructions. Due to the Proliner’s accuracy, expensive waste products caused by inaccurate measurements now belong to the past.

There is a clear distinction in the requirements for creating digital templates for flat glass constructions and (double) curved glass constructions. We offer special solutions for both. Operators can easily create, check and change digital measurements in the factory or on the job site and use the rapidly created DXF files for further processing or as direct input for machinery.

Since there is a clear distinction in the requirements for creating digital templates for architectural glass and (double) curved glass constructions, we developed complete glass package solutions for both.

The Proliner Architectural Glass package is a complete digital templating solution that enables architectural glass fabricators to measure, check, edit and export digital templates of balustrades, backsplashes, worktops, windows, physical templates, and other flat glass shapes on-site as well as in the factory.

The Proliner Bent Glass package is a complete digital templating solution for measuring and creating digital templates of bent glass constructions. The Bent Glass software enables glass manufacturers to model, flatten, frame and compare 3D glass shapes.

Prodim will analyze your business activities and particular requirements and use our many years of experience in the glass industry to create the best total package for improving your templating and business processes now and in the future.
