Xinglass has developed a new generation of flat and bent glass tempering furnace QX-GTFB3.0. It is the third generation of flat and bent glass tempering furnaces, designed to meet current customers' needs for high-precision flat and bent tempered glass, and single-curved and multi-curved tempered glass.

The machine arc-changing mechanism uses a precise hydraulic and servo system, and high-quality profiles ensure accurate glass shapes and high arc forming accuracy. The arc-changing system is stable and reliable, ensuring product arc/radius repeatability and high consistency. The new technology of glass positioning and correction has improved the forming accuracy by 20 percent.

The machine can automatically record different arc adjustment parameters, saving time and effort in the production process. Several advanced processing technologies ensure the high quality of the finished glass products.

This bent tempering furnace is ideal for producing high-quality flat and curved tempered glass for construction, commercial curved tempered glass, food display cabinets, curved glass for high-end buses, and large quantities of single-curved tempered glass for home appliances and the electric appliance industry.

This year, SAFTI FIRST introduced its latest curtain wall system at the AIA Show in Chicago last June. The patent-pending, panelized SAFTI-EZ-ARC is designed for use in non-rated or rated applications. 

SAFTI-EZ-ARC is the first USA-made, truly panelized, versatile structurally glazed curtain wall system. Two versions were developed to satisfy non-rated and fire-rated applications: SAFTI-EZ-ARC is a unique panelized system that will provide ease of installation in a curtain wall, while the SAFTI-EZ-ARC-FR is an ASTM E-119/UL 263 fire-resistive rated version recently successfully tested and listed by UL up to 2 hours. Additional testing is scheduled to meet hurricane, blast and tornado requirements.

The panelized non-rated and rated systems can be used alone or married together easily for seamless unbroken sight lines. This is a breakthrough product that provides architects, owners, and façade consultants with the greatest flexibility of design, while engineered as a panelized system to lower costs and provide ease of installation.

The SAFTI-EZ-ARC-FR panelized curtain wall provides the largest fire-rated glazed areas available. Each individual panel for rated areas is listed by UL at 130 inches high and 80 inches wide. For non-rated areas, the sizes are even larger.

5-axis CNC mobile gantry machining center, designed to run milling, drilling, threading and cutting processes on large bars in aluminum, PVC, light alloys and steel. The mobile part of the machine mainly consists of a gantry equipped with precision motorization rack. The high-power electrospindle (15 kW in S1) with HSK-63F tool connection allows even heavy-duty machining to be run with excellent speed and accurate results.

The new local safety cab was designed to combine top functionality, accessibility, soundproofing and light with safety and ergonomic requirements.

The operator has broad glazed surfaces to check machining execution and, thanks to the total opening system of the cab in two separate parts, easy access during cleaning and maintenance. The cab interior includes the complete segregation of the work area from the remaining sections of the tool magazine and other accessories supplied on the trolley, ensuring maximum chip collection towards the conveyor belt and, as optional, dedicated extraction of machining fumes.

The 24-place tool magazine is housed in the mobile gantry; it is equipped with an exchanger arm system that considerably reduces tool change times. A 500 mm blade tool is housed separately in a dedicated magazine system.

Introducing the SBZ118 Profile Machining Center

Compact 3-axis profile machining center with optional 5-sided machining ensures high productivity through precision, ergonomics and customizable equipment options.

Compact, fast, versatile: Elumatec, one of the world’s leading premium suppliers of systems for machining aluminum, PVC and steel profiles, has combined the functionality of larger models with an extremely compact design in the SBZ 118 profile machining center. “This combination makes the SBZ 118 the perfect introduction to the world of CNC machining,” says Chris Nicholls, Chief Sales Officer at Elumatec AG. The prototype of the SBZ 118 was on display for the first time at the ÉquipBaie trade fair in Paris from 21 to 24 September 2021.

With its machining length of three meters, the SBZ 118 profile machining center is the most compact CNC machine in the current Elumatec range. Although it requires little space in production, the 3-axis profile machining center offers full functionality for routing, drilling and notching. Automated CNC machining can be carried out from up to five sides with an optional angle head and end milling machine. The inclined bed technology and the on-board 5-fold tool changer make it easy to use, and the new front visor enables ergonomic and above all safe operation, even for tall people. A side service door facilitates set-up and maintenance.
