HHH Equipment Resources, a division of Salem Fabrication Technologies Group Inc., introduces Kodiak, an exclusive line of glass edging equipment designed specifically with North American fabricators in mind. Kodiak glass edging machines offer exceptional edge quality, competitive production speeds and a proven track design. The machines are designed for continuous use and the handling of large lites of glass. The robust machines feature heavy-duty frame construction and 77-pound spindles, a long-lasting caterpillar track system, large, user-friendly display screens, automatic lubrication and UL-certified components. 

Hegla will exhibit its Hegla-TaiFin tempering furnace. The company is known for convection technology and closely controllable heating zones with qualities much higher than the industry standard, say officials. The optimal bedload is determined with bed optimization from Hegla-Hanic. For maximum automation, the glass can be put together with automated batch creation from Hegla—no operator required. Through “de-batching,” the batch can be separated again.

The Glass Rectangle Slitting (Strip Cutter) helps fabricators that need to process small lites for applications such as refrigerator shelves. They may find it is more costly and difficult to handle if the raw float glass comes in small pieces. The Glassline slitting line allows the glass to be shipped in larger blanks and slit, or cut down into the smaller pieces. The line features multiple cutting heads that score a sheet in a straight line. The glass is then transferred, and the scores are snapped.

The Satellite XTE by Emmegi is a 5-axis CNC mobile gantry machining center, designed to run milling, drilling, threading and cutting processes on large bars in aluminum, PVC, light alloys and steel. The mobile part of the machine mainly consists of a gantry equipped with precision motorization rack. The high-power electrospindle, 15 kilowatts in S1, with HSK-63F tool connection allows heavy-duty machining to be run with speed and accurate results.

Erdman’s Vertical Insulating Glass Parallel Process Line derives its name from the innovation of shuttling the topping lite to a back lane. Therefore, the two glass lites run parallel to each other, leading to a significant increase in speed. Compared to traditional IG processes, the line is more ergonomic and has less wasted motion by the operator. There are no manual touches to glass after washer and no close contact between operators. It requires three to four operators, versus seven to nine on a traditional line. The line also includes auto placement of spacer location, and argon is filled and finished on the line.

Eastman’s static table system is capable of cutting, marking and punching virtually any flexible material at speeds of up to 60 inches per second. The static cutting table can process materials like nylon and vinyl as well as difficult-to-cut materials—such as polystrand, p-tex and fiberglass-polyester blends. The system’s high-precision configuration features multi-axis motion for more defined and accurate cuts. Material is spread across the static table by an operator or with the use of a pneumatic gripper bar.
