The glass industry
Accuracy plays a vital role in the glass industry, as cutting and trimming to size to meet individual customer requirements involves high-precision work. Cutting glass to size for tables, mirrors or doors often leaves sharp edges. The edges are processed in a grinding and polishing process so as to minimise the risk of injuries. From surface, joining and forming technology or in handling: with our e-chain® systems, flexible chainflex® cables and bearing technology made of tribologically optimised high-performance polymers, we always have the ideal solution for your individual application.
