Do you process different glass dimensions or do you produce glass lites with different edge processing, every day? BENTELER provides you with the One-Side Grinding Machine, a machine on which you can process glasses of different width and shape in direct sequence. And this is without set-up times and without idle and adjustment times. In addition, our innovative system demonstrates with constant quality at a high throughput.

Advantages

High precision: 

• Works from loading to off-loading automatically
• Automatic alignment for dimensional and angular accuracy
• High and constant edge quality like a double-sided grinding machine

Flexibility: 

• Up to 11 individual tool stations
• Perfect for production of a large range of models: Different widths can be processed in direct sequence - Processing of not rectangular glasses also possible
• Grinding, seaming and polishing in one process - Expandable to a grinding-drilling-washing-line

High efficiency: 

• No set-up times, elimination of idle and adjustment times
• Use of our proven and robust spindle carrier
• High throughput due to short cycle times
• Simplified the operating processes

Achieving fast cycle times with minimal tool wear characterizes our Seamer. Our machine concept combines high durability of grinding tools, short set-up times and precise edges. The Seamer is particularly used in the ESG-Manufacturing.

• No leaking of water

Simple, comfortable operation:

• glass sheets -in same thickness but different size- can be processed one after another continuously, without any need to adjust
• all four-side of the glass are processed in one-cycle

The BENTELER standard Pencil-Edge Grinding Lines convince due to their optimal grinding results based on precision, speed, and process reliability. The very robust design of the Pencil-Edge Grinder makes longterm work possible (24/7) and has proven to be especially economical.

Advantages

High precision:

• Good grinding results also for large raw glass tolerances
• Machine frame and components of especially stable design for low vibration glass processing
• Precise width adjustment with fully automatic support bars for the exact positioning of the glass edges, also for large glass widths

Flexibility: 

• Up to five grinding spindles for each side, therefore more flexible setup with a large application range
• Flexible design with a wide range of application
• Optional with an automatic glass thickness adjustment

Process reliability: 

• Completely encapsulated high-precision grinding spindles with long service life in wet and abrasive environments

Simple operating: 

• Automatic side and angle orientation to prevent unground glass surfaces and burns
• Two synchronous motors for the transport and pressure belt support of each spindle for exact glass carriage and for rapid belt exchange

This patented grinding machine stands out by extremely high availability. A high speed cooling water extraction guarantees a dry and clean grinding line. With easier handling and high automation, the tool change is carried out in just a few minutes.

Advantages
