THE FUTURE OF GLASS PROCESSING IS AUTOMATED

The only solution for a fully automatic tempering process. Tempering complexity is reduced to three operator inputs: glass type, thickness and process mode. The system takes over from there, delivering consistent, predictable output every cycle with minimal training and full scalability across production volumes.

From intelligent batch planning to fully automated loading, this solution maximizes furnace utilization and keeps production flowing. The Batch Optimizer calculates the most efficient loading patterns by combining glass sizes and orders, while Automatic Loading executes the sequences with precision, eliminating missed loadings, reducing manual handling and improving safety.

The only online solution that tells operators, in real time, whether every pane off the line is properly tempered. Using live process data, OSC™ calculates surface stress and middle pane tension for both clear and Low-E glass and provides an accurate fragmentation estimate. Operators set their own stress standards once; OSC™ enforces them automatically on every unit produced, avoiding over-tempering and supporting lower energy consumption across the line.

Automatically optimizes your loading anisotropy with a special quench nozzle design as well as automation that minimizes stopping marks on glass. The result is clearer, more visually consistent glass, ideal for architectural and premium design applications where visual appearance is critical.

Automatic manufacturing of thin triple and thin quadruple IGUs with center panes as thin as 0.5 mm – a world first in production-line glass processing. Thin triple IGUs offer up to 20% higher insulation with the same thickness and weight compared to traditional double IGUs. The universal line configuration allows processors to manufacture both traditional TPS® IGU and thin TPS® IGU, as well as mixed operation on a single line.

A specially designed and patented follower plate optimizes material flow, delivering up to 35% output improvement. Automatic IGU thickness adjustment compensates for variations in glass tolerances, and the market’s shortest corner-bevel joint meets the most demanding quality standards. The TPS® PRO’APPLICATOR handles double, triple and quadruple IGUs across the full nozzle range for spacer widths between 6 and 27 mm, as well as multilayer applications up to 36 mm, from residential units to fire-resistant and façade elements.

The only fully automated solution for muntin bar positioning in TPS® IGU, including an optional cobot extension for automatic feeding the machine with muntin bars. MUNTIN’MASTER places muntin bars with precision and repeatability that manual handling cannot match. The Cobot extension takes automation further, automatically feeding the machine with muntin bars and eliminating the last manual touchpoint in the process, delivering stable, repeatable quality across every unit and full compatibility with both EU and US muntin bar specifications.

A service agreement combining expert preventive maintenance, priority access to the global service network and a broad set of economic benefits – all under a single, predictable service package.
