The Right Way to Handle Coated Glass
Rework V Zero Rework

Much discussion surrounds the right way to handle coated glass.
What is coated glass?
Glass which has a microscopic metal coating applied to improve thermal properties, aiding heat retention during inclement times, further aiding air conditioning systems during warmer weather.

With the growing demands upon industry for improved IGU thermal efficiencies, the use of special coatings is increasing substantially.
Disadvantage of using an automated vacuum system to handle coated glass?
The vacuum pads can damage the special coating, with the potential for pad rings to remain upon the surface of the special coating, potentially leading to customer complaints and rework.
Advantage of using GS-MR’s IG-L Robotic Glass Loading System?

  • GS-MR’s patented process has zero contact with the special coating as the glass is loaded via its edge.
  • Zero damage
  • Zero customer complaints
  • Zero rework
