When unloading large, thermoplastically sealed insulating glass units, manual processes quickly reach their limits. For the first time, the combination of the RHV‑A620IG unloading robot and the new PDL‑A40‑1FL rotary platform enables fully continuous, interruption‑free and clean unloading, even for formats up to 4,000 × 3,300 mm (approx. 157 × 130 in / 13.1 × 10.8 ft) and weights of up to 620 kg (approx. 1,367 lb).

Edge processing of flat glass is one of the most demanding process steps in industrial glass manufacturing. It affects both the optical quality of the glass and its strength, safety, and suitability for subsequent processing steps. From simple applications to high‑quality end products, the quality of the processed edge plays a decisive role in the final result.

Insulating glass is a key factor for energy efficiency and living comfort. It provides thermal and acoustic insulation, significantly reducing heating and cooling costs.

Laminated glass plays an important safety role: the combination of glass and interlayer film ensures stability and security, protecting against injuries in the event of an accident. But how does this invisible protection work? How is the complex bond between glass and film created—and what innovations are making laminated glass a true multi-talented material today? You’ll find the answers in this article.

How is glass actually cut professionally? From the basics of cutting to the differences between single and laminated glass, all the way to modern automation solutions – this article provides you with a compact overview of the most important methods, technologies, and tips related to glass cutting.
