A new Schiatti Angelo double edging machine line model BFP35—a glass processing machine among the most chosen by the European and non-European markets for its versatility—was installed for a client.
In particular, this outgoing line of edging machines has operating dimensions of 4,500 by 2,800 millimetres, and is designed to optimise production processes in the flat glass and technical ceramics sector.
Technical features of the BFP35 edging machine
The new configuration of the BFP35 double edger represents a major step forward in industrial automation for glass processing, integrating cutting-edge technology to guarantee maximum precision and productivity:
Advanced edging system
• Oscillating diamond wheels on both machines for a superior polished edge finish
• Integrated dubbing devices on the second machine for complete corner processing
• Optimised glass transport system with single transfer to reduce cycle times
Safety and automation
• CE-compliant perimeter safety fences
• Optic barrier at the entrance of the tilting table for operator protection
• Automatic inlet tilting table directly connected to the machine to ease the loading of the glasses
Production versatility
• Processing of pieces with minimum dimensions of 200 by 200 millimetres
• Possibility to process sheets up to 4,500 millimetres long
• Suitable for monolithic and laminated glass of different thicknesses (up to 35 millimetres)
Industry 4.0 Integration
The BFP35 line was designed accordingly to Industry 4.0 principles, with a focus on connectivity and data management:
• Control computer directly connected with the customer’s company database
• Remote monitoring system for real-time technical assistance
