Glass
The glass production in automotive and civil sectors requires automatic systems characterized by high level of precision and speed in order to guarantee reduced cycle timing and the minimum tolerances required. Tekna Automazione e Controllo has acquired a specific know-how in the automation of glass processing starting from its production up to third party processing on finished products. That know-how was acquired thanks to the applications that Tekna developed over the years for automations machines and production lines of side and rear windows and windshield, as well as, for glass production, bending and tempering.
Continuous glass tempering furnace which is capable of tempering flat and curved glass of different sizes and thicknesses thanks to its advanced automation with recipe management. The optimized management of the hot chambers of the furnace allows to produce glass with a reduced electricity use.
