    Custom CUGHER solutions for glass handling

    CUGHER GLASS S.r.l. for more than 50 years it has been designing and manufacturing systems for screen printing on flat glass, offering a wide range of solutions that cover the entire production process, starting immediately after cutting and washing the glass, up to the phases preceding the quenching and bending. Therefore, in addition to printing machines, the company provides its customers with technologically advanced systems for drying and handling glass, such as IR and UV ovens, loading and unloading conveyors, vertical and horizontal inspection stations, rotary tables, accumulators, roller and belt conveyors, deviators, openable conveyors and coupling stations.

    Each type of glass needs to be handled according to specially adapted solutions, to ensure the care of the glass throughout its transport along the line. In fact, the shape and size of the glass are parameters that determine the characteristics of each individual plant. For example, automotive glass is characterized by a complexity of a very variable shape based on the type of use and by a size that generally does not exceed 2600 mm; while architectural glass and household appliances have a generally symmetrical shape, but if the former have dimensions easily over 3000 mm, the latter can be very small and even perforated. These differences, combined with specific production needs, make each line different from the others.

    The flexibility of engineering, design guideline in CUGHER GLASS S.r.l., therefore, allows to develop extremely customized solutions. Every single machine is conceived in such a way that it can be customized and configured in accordance with customer specifications, finding application both in mechanical and electrical hardware, and in the software that coordinates the whole line. 

    The internet of things (IoT) is currently an essential requirement of the manufacturing industry and Cugher software integrate perfectly with other control systems, connecting all parts of a plant to enable the exchange of huge amounts of data in real time and facilitate the control of all the stages of production. Such features enable a CUGHER GLASS S.r.l. to respond to the prerogatives of industry 4.0, which aims to have a fully automated and interconnected industrial production. With this in mind, the development of new technologies makes it possible to obtain a higher flexibility of the lines, producing small batches at reduced costs, to achieve greater productivity thanks to shorter set-up times and the reduction of errors, and to increase the quality, reducing waste, by means of sensors and vision systems that monitor production and results in real time. 

    CUGHER GLASS S.r.l., thanks to continuous investments in research and development, it is recognized as one of the innovative companies in the glass industry and intends to continue on this path with the primary objective of offering the various sectors operating in the world of flat glass a high level of customization and automation of all the components present in the lines.
