Bovone Glass Integrated Robotic System

bovone logo

Take the operator out of glass grinding.

Bovone’s integrated robotic system pairs multi-axis robots with straight-line edging machines to automate the full grinding cycle, from loading through to unload. Large slabs move through the line without a person handling them, cutting both labour risk and cost.

Built to Industry 4.0 standards, the system is fully connectable for production traceability and self-adjusting parameters, and can be configured as a single edger with one robot or a full dual-edger island for higher-volume lines.

KEY FEATURES

  • Robotic Grinding Integration — Multi-axis robots load, rotate and unload glass across one or two straight-line edgers, automating edge processing end to end.
  • No-Operator Islands — The full cell runs without staff present, removing manual handling risk on heavy, awkward slabs.
  • Auto-Compensating Edgers — Spindles adjust automatically for wheel wear, with processing recipes uploaded and run without manual resets.
  • Lightweight Gripper Design — Reduced weight and footprint grippers cut the load on the robot for lower energy use and faster cycles.
  • Modular Line Configuration — Add washing, drilling or other finishing machines in line after the edgers, built around your process.
  • Full Traceability — Connectable for production monitoring and self-adjustment in line with Industry 4.0 protocols.

APPLICATIONS

  • Edge Processing: Flat edge, arris and bevel grinding across one or two edgers
  • Slab Handling: Automated loading, rotating and unloading of large, heavy glass
  • Line Integration: Washing, drilling or other finishing steps added downstream of the edgers

Why Choose the Bovone Glass Integrated Robotic System?

Built on robotic components from established manufacturers, the system is backed by reliable after-sales support and proven in glass processing environments. Robotic integration lifts throughput and cuts cost while taking operators out of the highest-risk handling tasks. Purpose-built grippers add measurable time and energy savings on every cycle, making it a straightforward upgrade path for processors looking to automate without a full line rebuild.
