Do you process different glass dimensions or do you produce glass lites with different edge processing, every day? BENTELER provides you with the One-Side Grinding Machine, a machine on which you can process glasses of different width and shape in direct sequence. And this is without set-up times and without idle and adjustment times. In addition, our innovative system demonstrates with constant quality at a high throughput.

Advantages

High precision: 

• Works from loading to off-loading automatically
• Automatic alignment for dimensional and angular accuracy
• High and constant edge quality like a double-sided grinding machine

Flexibility: 

• Up to 11 individual tool stations
• Perfect for production of a large range of models: Different widths can be processed in direct sequence - Processing of not rectangular glasses also possible
• Grinding, seaming and polishing in one process - Expandable to a grinding-drilling-washing-line

High efficiency: 

• No set-up times, elimination of idle and adjustment times
• Use of our proven and robust spindle carrier
• High throughput due to short cycle times
• Simplified the operating processes

• Completely enclosed wet area
• Nearly dry glass after seaming, through cooling water extraction
• No leaking of water

Simple, comfortable operation:

• Precise and fast width adjustment 60 m/min

• Easy and precise setting of seaming sizes

   

BENTELER Vertical Seaming Machine combines a compact and strong construction with high flexibility in production. In only one cycle all four sides of glass are processed quickly.

Advantages

High precision: 

• reduces the scratchs on the glass
• Smooth and precise edges

• No leaking of water

Simple, comfortable operation:

• glass sheets -in same thickness but different size- can be processed one after another continuously, without any need to adjust

• all four-side of the glass are processed in one-cycle

   

The BENTELER standard Pencil-Edge Grinding Lines convince due to their optimal grinding results based on precision, speed, and process reliability. The very robust design of the Pencil-Edge Grinder makes longterm work possible (24/7) and has proven to be especially economical.

Advantages

High precision:

• Good grinding results also for large raw glass tolerances
• Machine frame and components of especially stable design for low vibration glass processing
• Precise width adjustment with fully automatic support bars for the exact positioning of the glass edges, also for large glass widths

Flexibility: 

• Up to five grinding spindles for each side, therefore more flexible setup with a large application range
• Flexible design with a wide range of application
• Optional with an automatic glass thickness adjustment

Process reliability: 

• Completely encapsulated high-precision grinding spindles with long service life in wet and abrasive environments

Simple operating: 

• Automatic side and angle orientation to prevent unground glass surfaces and burns

• Two synchronous motors for the transport and pressure belt support of each spindle for exact glass carriage and for rapid belt exchange
