Chiara MTP8 Modular
This machine is yet another revolution in the grinding sec-
tor. The new CHIARA MPT8 MODULAR carried out po-
lished grinding of all edges of glass, also those out-of-
square. Chiara MPT8 MODULAR can process four or more
edges of glass sheets at the same time or in sequence.
(patented system) The machine can process different glass
thicknesses, sizes and shapes continuously, without the
need for manual intervention.
The complete control of each single action that the machine
carries out, enables to grind glass thicknesses of 3mm and
sizes of 300x400mm, and immediately followed by glass
thickness of 15mm and sizes of up to 3300x6000mm.
CHIARA MPT8 MODULAR can process each side of the
same glass sheet with different edge finishes. The operator
can choose the type of finish by simply changing parame-
ters on the keyboard.
During production, the glass is supported by a particular con-
figuration of the automatic vacuum system, with NC controlled
suction cups as per the different glass sizes (patented system)
