New Wood's Powr-Grip  8-inch Hand Cup Pad Redesign

Hand-Cup Features Fast Attach and Release.

Considered by glaziers to be Wood's "Best One Yet"

If you are familiar with the profile of the Wood's Powr-Grip hand-cup, at first glance the new hand cup looks the same, but the 8-inch pad underwent a redesign that rolled out in 2023. The changes are sure to please users: When the cup is first applied firmly to a load surface, the pad establishes an initial grip onto the load, keeping the cup in place until the user finishes the vacuum attachment by pumping the plunger. While some users were able to do this with earlier versions of a standard 8-inch hand cup, the result was never a certainty because it had never been engineered into the pad design. Now, this initial grip can be achieved more consistently.

Automatic Cutting and Machining Center

5-6 axis CNC cutting and machining center designed to perform all the machining and cutting in an optimized way on PVC profiles.

The system is composed of an automatic bar loading magazine which feeds, through a gripper pushed by a brushless motor, a Machining Module capable of accommodating up to 12 spindles (6 Standard) High Speed and a rising 1-blade Cutting Module that guarantees extremely precise cuts.

Compact and versatile, it is a system built with the most innovative technology available on the market and guarantees extremely high reliability and precision over time.

Advanced Solutions:

• Versatile, reliable and precise over time.
• Optimize production lists:
  Fewer bars used thanks to Graf Synergy software.
• Maximum Precision Over Time:
  Automatic profile alignment system (it linearizes the bar that is not perfectly straight) and CNC Profile gripper with reading of the real position by centesimal magnetic strip.
• User Friendly:
  Intuitive system for simple management of work cycles.
• High Technology:
  Machining Module capable of hosting up to 12 High Speed spindles (6 Standard) a rising 1-blade Cutting Module.

Fab Cut F1 is equipped with a modern production list management software that allows you to automatically import the cutting lists, allowing the optimization of the number of bars to be used while keeping track of the machine's operation.

An automatic profile alignment system is also installed on the system which, in the event that the bar is not perfectly straight, linearizes it allowing optimal workpiece processing.

The first and only 4-head CNC welding machine in the world that completely eliminates the welding bead from the corner and allows you to weld profiles with glass or a closing panel already inserted inside the switchboard.

Unique machine of its kind, it performs perfect welding guaranteeing absolutely flat and homogeneous surfaces also with profiles that, instead of the metal reinforcement, have inside them non-weldable products such as fiberglass, aluminum or other components.

5 Reason to choose SL4 FF EVO:

• Allows welding profiles coated with any type of film or foil.
• Time and cost reduction: After welding, there is no need to clean or touch up.
• Labor reduction: Not having to finish the corners, only 1 operator is required to load the profiles.
• Space saving: Extremely compact machine (starting from just 20 square meters).
• Solves the problem of profile tolerances: It has a special automatic calibration system that allows you to compensate the profiles tolerances.

The basis of the project is the V-Perfect Technology, a patent that allows you to work painted or coated PVC profiles with films but also to combine them with acrylic coatings or real materials such as laminates in wood or aluminum and without having to touch up with the marker anymore.

All the necessary operations are therefore carried out automatically, including milling with the High Speed system.

HEGLA-HANIC / Next-Generation Software

With Cut+, HEGLA-HANIC introduced completely reprogrammed software (HMI) for cutting table organization over the past year. At GlassBuild, we will be giving visitors insight into the next generation of the ERP system that can integrate all processes: from digital order collection, storage and individual machines to delivery at the construction site. “Standard OPC UA, digitalization and an increasing level of automation all motivated us to make our ERP even more open with the Dynamics 365 development platform from Microsoft,” said Managing Director Jan Schäpers from HEGLA-HANIC. The new software basis now makes it possible to enable many add-ons, such as for financial bookkeeping or controlling via the Microsoft platform. On the other hand, a wide range of programs can be integrated with only minimal effort. As completely redeveloped software, it is perfectly adapted to all current systems.

With Hegla Laser Technology / The Standard Becomes Added Value

Be it bird protection glass, QR code laser printing, antibacterial panes, heated glass panels or an RF-transparent IG unit: HEGLA boraident wants to explain how easily a standard product can become a commodity with added value. “With a range of samples, we want to give the impression of how flexibly glass can be finished by removing or transforming the functional layer, or via non-destructive printing with our Laserbird,” explained Dr Thomas Rainer, the Head of Development at HEGLA boraident. In addition to the option of creating functional glass without tooling time or an additional service provider, Thomas Rainer sees the “single piece” option as a major advantage: “Via the user-friendly GUI or connection to the ERP, each individual pane can be coated with various finishing treatments without any waited time.”

The SEAMMAXX-PRO MKII™ has been designed to follow our SeamMaXX PRO™ range of seaming lines, acknowledged as the highest output fully automatic seaming lines worldwide. Up to six or seven random sized lites per minute seamed top and bottom on all four edges in thicknesses from 3 to 12 millimeters. The fastest most compact L-shape lines require the smallest footprint of any seaming system and can be fed direct from breakout, adjusting fully automatically to each lite’s dimensions.

The new version which will premier at GlassBuild America in Atlanta, incorporates the latest technology and software allowing the machine to perform at maximum output with minimal maintenance, stoppages and adjustments. 

High-performance glass cleaning system focused on the bottom line with intelligent maintenance features and high-level process control. The Z-Series is engineered to sustain an optimum level of cleaning over years of continuous use, with easy access to internal components for cleaning and maintenance for minimum downtime. The Z series is offered in working widths of 70, 96, 110 and 132 inches for your convenience.

Cullet handling systems by Custom Conveyor can improve cutting table throughput, reduce operator fatigue and minimize injury risk in your facility. These systems are tailored to work directly with your existing processing equipment. The breakers receive scrap glass from manual breakout tables or automated axis breakers and convert it into cullet which is easily transportable by our bulk conveying systems. Cullet handling systems may be used with existing production lines or designed for incorporation into new lines. From a simple above-grade system for a single low-volume breakout table to a multi-line, plant-wide system that brings all your waste glass to one centralized location, Custom Conveyor can design a cullet system to meet your specific needs.
