Glass processing line SplitFin

The SplitFin is a vertical glass processing line for edge and inner processing of flat glass lites sheets, and is currently the fastest vertical processing line on the market. How is the SplitFin configured? To significantly reduce the cycle time for processing, the SplitFin is divided into two processing towers. The first tower - the EPS-B - performs the sheet grinding and polishing, i.e. the complete edge processing. The second tower - the MRX-B - implements all internal processing and is optionally equipped with a water jet unit. After processing is complete, the VHW reliably cleans the sheets. The line is flexibly configurable and can also be designed with only one processing tower. Subsequent integration of the second machine is possible at any time. How does the SplitFin work? Loading can take place either manually or by means of automation (sorting / robot / etc.). Inputting the processing data is also flexible (simple graphic input at the machine / DXF import / data interfaces), whilst the processing that follows is fully automatic. The entire weight of the sheet is borne in the EPS-B by a stable suction axis and it is polished with the utmost precision using either one or two processing heads. Once edge processing is complete, the sheet is automatically transported to the MRX-B. Here, internal processing is also carried out fully automatically. This takes place either using diamond tools or by means of a modern water jet unit. A combination of both is also possible. Following automatic transport to the washing machine and successful cleaning of the sheet, it is removed from the line or automatically transferred to downstream processes.
