High performance for cutting of float and laminated safety glass

A high level of automation, continuous flow of glass, and extensive options for optimisation of waste costs: Let us inspire you with our sample solution for the high-performance cutting of float glass and laminated glass.

  • Broad product range, precisely synchronised: In combination with fixed frames and compact storage, gantry loading ensures continuous glass transfer to the cutting machine.

  • Precise and fast: ProLam Kombi cuts laminated glass with a high level of precision and short production cycles, and can be used flexibly for cutting float glass.

  • High acceleration and precision: With its powerful linear drives, the Galactic cutting system is extremely dynamic and scores the float glass with high precision.

  • Lower waste costs: ReMaster collects the recyclable glass leftovers and stores them until they can be optimally re-introduced for further cutting.

  • Sorted and aggregated: The SortJet buffers all glass panes in the chaotic, waste-optimised sequence of the cutting machines. At the same time, the panes required by the ISO line are transferred to the production line in synchronisation with the production cycle, in the correct orientation, and in the correct order. The SortJet principle enables continuous glass flow and allows more in-depth optimisation options for cutting and glass transfer.

Sample solution of a high-performance line for float glass

Broad product range directly accessible, extensive glass storage and automatic offcut system that saves time, money, and manual handling. With our sample configuration for high-performance float glass cutting, we demonstrate one of our concepts for a cutting line. This concept features a straight-line layout with clear processes and paths. Automated X/Y breaking rounds out the solution. Depending on customer requirements, glass could be transferred directly to the ISO line using a SortJet for online production.

  • Broad product range, precisely synchronised: In combination with fixed frames and compact storage, gantry loading ensures continuous glass transfer to the cutting machine.

  • Direct access to even more panes of glass: Using the Rapidstore shuttle storage system, you can increase the number of glass panes accessible by the gantry loading system across all halls.

  • High acceleration and precision: With its powerful linear drives, the Galactic cutting system is extremely dynamic and scores float glass with a high degree of precision.

  • Lower waste costs: ReMaster collects the recyclable glass leftovers and stores them until they can be optimally re-introduced for further cutting.

  • Automated and fast: X/Y breaking with the Tracon glass turning station enables high cycle speeds and processes that can be easily monitored

  • Manual or automated: Depending on the configuration, the glass can be removed manually, be transferred directly to the ISO line using the SortJet, or it can be sorted automatically on harp racks.

Sample configuration of a high-performance cutting system for laminated glass

This line has been designed as a solution for the ever-growing demand for laminated glass. The line features a high degree of automation, extensive glass storage, and impressive output levels. We hope our concepts will inspire you to install your own high-performance cutting line. Would you like to know more about HEGLA or how we can help? Contact us now.

  • Broad product range, precisely synchronised: In combination with fixed frames and compact storage, gantry loading ensures continuous glass transfer to the cutting machine.

  • Lower waste costs: ReMaster collects the recyclable glass leftovers and stores them until they can be optimally re-introduced for further cutting.

  • Up to 30 per cent higher output: With the unique double-deck concept and modular cutting bridge, you can cut up to three panes simultaneously.

  • All options open: If you need to work on a larger piece of glass, you can remove it conveniently using a lateral transport table.

  • Sorted correctly: The cuts are aligned correctly and automatically removed, in the required order, directly from the SortJet to offline production in harp racks.

Automation and interconnection as a component of production process optimisation

Whether it’s glass storage, loading, cutting, breaking, handling leftover panes, sorting or transferring glass, especially in the case of complex production lines, the processes between processing stations play a key role in ensuring continuous and precisely-timed glass flow.

All machines and systems offered by HEGLA are designed as coordinated system components. This means, for example, that with internal control of the cutting plant you can conveniently and automatically call up the panes from the warehouse and stage them in precise synch with the production cycle. We work with you to design concepts such as the ReMaster offcut system that reduce manual handling and waste costs, and also sustainably improve processes. To maximize your success, our machines and systems have open interfaces to all standard optimisation and control software programmes so that you can select the software you prefer (e.g., HEGLA-HANIC). Take advantage of our many years of experience with process interconnection and automation. We will be happy to discuss your company-specific options.
