Press Glass UK Continue to Lead the Way Reaping the Benefits of Robotic Automation

In 2018 Press Glass UK (then Glass Systems) understood the ground-breaking concept of embracing true automation within the glass processing industry.
Starting at the beginning of the IG Line with safer, more consistent, automated loading of not only glass pane, but verified glass pane, verified against already
available customer production data.
Their post below demonstrates one area where GS-MR’s IG-L has transformed and modernised the process for this leading UK manufacturer of Insulated Glass Units.
Continuous verified production, operators upskilled and available to perform other process areas whilst the IG-L safely does its thing.

With their second IG-L at Press Glass UK, Barnsley firmly a part of the fabric of production, Press Glass UK are continuing to forge ahead with the whole range
of benefits true robotic automation affords.
The IG-L processes Doubles, Triples and all types of standard patterned glass.
The IG-L repeatedly gives you

Automated production of 80 IGUs/hour, patio door size included, zero disruption to your
production. Why expect a valued member of your team to stand there and load (unverified) glass hour after hour? Your staff
are worth more to you than this, they will thank you for the opportunity to do more skilled, interesting and safer work.
Wastage reduced to practically zero due to the removal of manual handling.
Much improved quality, consistent production.
Within seconds, every pane is verified prior to loading.Our unique and uncomplicated
robotic software proactively works with your data.Worldwide no other glass industry solution affords you this proactive
approach.Why load glass which is not verified?
Ergonomic cell footprint – very similar to a manual loading footprint.
Safety aspects which speak for themselves – proven increased retention of employees, upskilled to operate the IG-L.
Much extended preventative maintenance schedules. Valuable production time saved.
Improved profitability.

Press Glass UK continue to enjoy all of these benefits with their current two GS-MR IG-L Robotic Glass Loading Systems.
Designed & manufactured in Telford in the UK, GS-MR’s IG-L is firmly established as the future proof automated solution to manual glass loading.
