Glass Slitter Line

Want to see how to maximize efficiency and precision in glass cutting? Our new video highlights a cutting-edge Cut-down and Palletizing line. Imagine: rapid CNC linear motor cutting (3m/sec, 1g), automatic breakout based on your program, and guaranteed accuracy with a vision system. Plus, multiple loading options to fit your needs. Watch now and see the difference! 

The machine is used to cut-down a larger block-size piece of glass into smaller rectangular individual pieces that can be palletized or processed (seamed or ground) further down the line. The machine is used to handle a max size of 48” x 60” x 10 mm glass pane (other dimensions available upon request). Features The Slitter Line has several features that make it a versatile and efficient tool.

These features include:

Capable of having (1) fully loaded rack of glass on each side of the table (18,000 lbs max total).  

Max size of 48” x 60”  

Min size of 15.75” x 24”  

Pneumatic Lift (Servo-driven lift is available as an option)  

Servo-driven Tilt (Pneumatic tilt is available as an option)  

Servo-driven rotation of vacuum carriage prior to laydown the glass

Max size of 48” x 60”  

Min size of 15.75” x 24”  

Timing Belt Driven Roller Conveyor  

Pop-up, Servo-driven, Aligner Conveyor to place the glass on the centerline

Max size of 48” x 60”  

Timing Belt Conveyor, Servo-driven  

Auto Centering Device to cross cut in the middle of the glass, servo-driven  

Fixed Cut Bridge, cutting carriage driven by gearmotor and pinion/rack  

Underneath Breaker Bar (pneumatic lift)  

Pass-Through and Cross-Cutting Modes.

Max size of 48” x 60”  

Min size of 15.75” x 24”  

Roller conveyor, driven by gearmotor and inverter.  

Auto Centering Device to center the block size on the slitting system, servo-driven.  

Slitter Bridge Assembly with Qty. (3) Cutting Heads. Automatic horizontal motion of cutting heads driven by rack and pinion, positioned by servomotors.  

Driven solid roller underneath slitter cut head assemblies.  

Transfer Conveyor with Dropdown Backstop:  

Tubular roller conveyor driven by gearmotor and inverter  

Timing belt conveyor driven by servo motor (pneumatic tilting)  

Dropdown backstop (consisting of Idler Rollers)  

Roller Conveyor with Breaker Bar  

Tubular Roller conveyor, Servo-driven  

Upper hold-down roller assembly  

Underneath Breaker Bar (pneumatic lift)  

How it works:

The loader takes a glass pane from the Customer’s Rack and drops it on the Laydown Aligner Conveyor. After the glass is placed on the Aligner Conveyor, a Pop-up, Servo-driven Aligner Conveyor is actuated to place the glass on the centerline and feed the glass forward to the Cross Cutter. The glass passes to the Cross-Cutter machine, front and back locators pop-up to center the glass. The cutting head moves across the glass and the breaker bar is actuated to separate the 2 glass panes. Alternatively, the glass can move forward without cutting using the pass-through mode. The individual glass panes pass to the Slitter machine, the glass pane is lifted on nylon rods and centered side-to-side. The centering unit is servo-driven and sends information back to the controller so that the slitter heads are positioned to slit the glass evenly. Once centered the glass lowers onto the roller conveyor and passes under the slitter cutting heads. The slit glass pane passes to a 90° transfer conveyor, a dropdown backstop is lowered and the glass is reversed against it. A pop-up belt conveyor picks up the glass and indexes it sideways to the breaker bar in the roller conveyor. Individual rectangular glass pieces are indexed on the roller conveyor for palletizing or to be processed (seam or grind) further down the line. Applications The Slitter Line can be used for applications that require cutting down a glass pane into multiple smaller rectangles, evenly cut the glass pane length and width into rows and columns. Conclusion The Slitter Line is a versatile and efficient machine that can be used for a variety of applications. It is a valuable piece of equipment for anyone who needs to cut down a glass pane into multiple smaller, evenly sized, rectangles. Thanks for watching!
