HIGH-TECH SOLUTION FOR HANDLING GLASS

Commissioned by: Dip-Tech

Location: Israel

THE CHALLENGE

Dip-Tech is a global pioneer of digital ceramic glass printing solutions. Their machines handle large sheets of glass up to 2223 kg with high precision. 

The machines must also be capable of multi-directional movement and not mark the glass at any point.

Could Alwayse provide a bespoke movement solution to fit these requirements?

THE SMART SOLUTION

Alwayse designed a Ball Transfer Unit fixed to ‘glide strips’ that provides effortless 360° movement for perfectly precise positioning. 

A phenolic load ball was used in order to keep the glass clean and bear the brunt of heavy weights. 

Multiple sizes of glass can be handled without machine adjustment, greatly increasing flexibility. 

For glass handling and processing, no name carries more weight than Alwayse.

  • Handling sheet glass up to 2223 kg and sizes up to 2600 mm x 18000 mm x 19 mm thick with effortless positioning and precise movement.
  • Able to keep the glass clean, with no surface markings.
