HEGLA presents solutions for the present and future of glass processing

The new technology awaiting visitors to the stand include a new high-performance cutting system for laminated safety glass, Industry 4.0, an Autonomous Guided Vehicle system (AGV) for mobile storage racks, laser film separation for laminated safety glass, as well as the laserbird for glass finishing. In addition, the non-destructive laser marking system UniColor and the flatbed vacuum autoclave LamiPress are to attract visitors’ attention.

High-performance cutting system for laminated safety glass

“After many years of ever more demanding production cycle requirements and rapidly increasing competition in the glass sector, we thought it was time to take stock and look for fundamentally new approaches,” says HEGLA COO Bernhard Hötger, describing the innovation process the company has been undergoing over the last two years.

He explains that one very good outcome of this strategy is the new StreamLam, a new high-performance cutting system for laminated safety glass, which will be shown to the public for the first time. With the reinterpreted cutting process, involving simultaneous yet uncoupled processes as well as a comprehensive control concept, the StreamLam will be able to realise up to 30 percent more output than conventional production line solutions.
