technology for glass cutting.
Francesca FC 16M 1600 and FC 32M 3300 can be equip-
ped with one or more nozzles for the cutting of glass
using high-pressure jets of water.
This technology, already well
known in the glass sector, has
been used by Forvet following
its company philosophy, resul-
ting in the first waterjet cutting
machine with loading, positio-
ning, processing and unloading
all carried out completely auto-
matically.
This has made waterjet techno-
logy much more accessible for
users, as it has eliminated all pro-
blems connected to the manage-
ment of waterjet cutting, such as lo-
ading, positioning and unloading.
