LATTUADA

Lattuada offers solutions for glass , stone and automation

This year at Glasstec , Lattuada will present also a very special bevelling machine : the first beveller in the world with A-WR system for a fully automatic management of the diamond wheels adjustment .

All Lattuada edgers can be equipped with :

• A-WR System ( fully automatic wheel adjustment management ). At the beginning of the shift / day , the operator pushes the TEACH- IN button : the machine stops the inlet conveyor , lowers all spindles and sets the diamond / resin wheels spindles at the pre-set height with a 0,01 mm tolerance . No test glass needed . The system also calculates the inlet conveyor belt wear for a greater accuracy .
• i-AL package ( fully automatic management of all processing parameters ): the operator only sets the thickness and all other parameters are automatically set by the system and are fully customizable , depending on the production and quality required . Lattuada , with its partner Knittel Glass , offers robotic solutions for every need and application . At Glasstec , a LIMITED EDI- TION fully automatic grinding machine , model TLR 12 C PC , in front of a Kuka robot moving on seventh axis and an opentop washing machine , model OT 2000 / 300 / 4S will be displayed . This specific line is dedicated to customers wishing to increase the level of automation of their grinding department . It can reach a productivity of up to 130 m / h considering , for example , a speed of 3 m / min and glass panes with dimensions : 1600x600x8 mm and 1000x2000x8 mm . A new feature is a device for checking the correct position of the glass edge . The customer can load the glass onto the rack even without using a reference / zero point , only approximately in the centre of the rack . Thus , when rotating 90 °, the bottom edge can be a little higher / lower than the standard zero line . This is the task of this new device : to check , before loading the glass , the actual position of the edge to have a safe and smooth load . A very interesting option is an advanced , stateof-the-art vacuum technology , which saves around 85 % of energy compared to standard systems . Compared to other lines , the robot that moves the glass is not fixed to the floor but runs at very high speed on a dedicated
