Two systems the company will display is the External Press Bending (EPB) Systems for automotive glass and the Advanced Bending and Tempering System for Deep Bend™ Automotive Glass (DB™ 4). Company officials say the EPB family of automotive systems enables manufacturers to produce sidelites, quarterlites, backlites, laminated backlites and windshields that meet the stringent optical quality requirements of Audi/Volkswagen and other industry requirements. The system includes the EPB-L™ system for forming and annealing windshield glass, the EPB-SS™ system for forming and tempering a single-stream of sidelites and the EPB-DS™ system for forming and tempering a single backlite or a dual-stream of sidelites. In addition, EPB automotive systems have been used in the production of laminated sidelites (see the upcoming May-June 2008 issue of AGRR for an in-depth look at the current use of laminated and plastic sidelites). Likewise, GlassTech's Advanced Bending and Tempering System for
Deep Bend™ Automotive Glass offers a quick-change option to reduce
tooling changeover time from approximately six hours to 90 minutes.
It also has a fast-cycle option that reduces cycle times, on average,
from 22 to 17 seconds, according to information provided by the
company. Need more info and analysis about the issues? |
