事例  Case

Robot Grinding Machine

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

Curved glass cleaner/dryer

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

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.
