Bystronic Glass has announced the development of a machine that can break automotive glass with and without a template.

Customers gain both functions in one cell with the champ’speed 2in1 and can switch easily between breaking with and without a template.

?“As a result, we enable customers to use the machine according to individual requirements or orders, whilst optimising production processes at the same time,” says Jean-Phlippe Chételat, Head of Automotive Glass Sales at Bystronic Glass.

In addition to templates that support the glass during the cutting process, the machine is equipped with a manoeuvrable underlay that aligns itself to the break edges.

“With this technology, we currently offer a machine that can flexibly and economically process a range of automotive glass with one cell: From large-scale runs of simple cuts through to small numbers of complex shapes and large radii,” added Mr Chételat.
