Fabricated Glass (laminated for automotive)

［Pre-process for Automotive Glass］

［Post-process for Windshield］

Robot Grinding Machine

Robots achieve high-quality chamfering

●High-quality grinding: High-rigidity longitudinal grinding machine produces high-quality grinding to maximize the effects of water cooling.
The fabricating water collecting function prevents the scattering of the water. That makes maintenance easier and lengthens equipment lifespans.
●Space saving and automation: Use of compact robots for handling saves space and labor.
●Offline teaching system: A dedicated data creation system makes it possible to create glass shape data for robot grinding quickly, on a computer, with absolutely no robot teaching.
●Adaptable to FA　: Data can be centrally managed over a network, and applied to FA for a factory.
That is ideal for high-variety and small-lot production.

Bent glass washing and drying machine

High-pressure water cleaner

●High-pressure water cleaning: Bonding surfaces are washed with high-pressure spray.
Purified water is used to stabilize film bond strength.
●Drainage and drying: Nozzles are used to adapt to various shapes.
●Separating: Sheets are separated automatically from one pair of glass sheets. This saves labor and ensures safety.

Continuous pre-pressing device (high-productivity pre-pressing device)

Continuous backup application device (high-productivity backup application device)

●Support for high productivity: All handling can be automated, to save labor.
●Maintaining high quality: Rubber bags are used to enable high-quality bonding to difficult shapes.
●No job changes required: Whatever the glass size or shape, there is no need for job changes, and diverse shapes can be handled.

Film extender

Smooth shade band

●High quality: Film is hot rolled uniformly, and then cold hardened uniformly, to enable smooth extension with little distortion or irregularity. The margin of contraction after extension is stable.
●Small-lot, high-quality production is possible
●Various film types are supported: It can be used for refrigerated film.
