Schraml Glastechnik GmbH, an Austrian supplier of vertical glass processing machines, has launched the newest version of its topDRILL glass drilling machine. See here for all the details on what’s new:
The company, located approx. 150 kilometres east of Vienna, first presented this further development at glasstec 2022. The system, which is well known in industry circles, has been further optimised and now has an 8-slot revolver and can also be equipped with a water jet head.
What makes the latest version special
The topDRILL G8 was developed for the rapid, straightforward and practical drilling and countersinking of glass. These processes can be carried out from both sides and are possible with a wide range of glass sizes. An optional water jet head delivers added versatility and means additional applications are also possible. Thanks to programming in the Industry 4.0 standard, the machine is capable of processing both individual sheets and series of glass sheets without difficulty.
The topDRILL G8 offers a wide range of options, such as a glass thickness measurement, a ball screw on the Y-axis, a water jet system with high-pressure pump and water treatment, extension modules on the right and left, and various data interfaces for connection to IoT systems. The topDRILL G8 offers a compact design and an automatic work procedure with rapid cycle times, reducing the need for floor space, operator time, water, electricity and compressed air.
The system can be seamlessly integrated into production lines, for example as part of the combiFIN, or in combination with third-party devices.
What is the difference between the two variants?
The topDRILL G8 is available in two versions: RX and NC. The type NC has a fast single drilling head on the front side and at the back of the machine. It has a manual quick-change system. The machine is designed more for series operation.
The type RX topDRILL has an 8-slot revolver head on the front side and at the back of the machine. This machine can perform the tool change on one side while the opposite side is still being drilled or countersunk. It is also possible to change the tool during positioning, which makes the machine really fast.
Where is Schraml looking to for the future?
For the future, Schraml plans to further optimise the software and user-friendliness, including full digital support for maintenance activities. The topDRILL G8 will be the first device to feature an integrated and predictive maintenance control system. Other trends include the integration of loading and logistics systems with accompanying software optimisation, the development of special designs for the solar and PV industry, and the use of digital twins to calculate and monitor all operating data.
