Glaston Delivers 1500th Insulating Glass Unit Assembler to AGC Glass Europe Czech Republic

Glaston has reached another significant milestone with the delivery of the 1,500th Glaston UNIT'ASSEMBLER to AGC Glass Europe in the Czech Republic. This achievement continues the global success of its proven technology for assembling, gas filling, and pressing insulating glass units (IGUs).

🏆 Impressive Success Story in Modern Insulating Glass Production

For years, the UNIT'ASSEMBLER has been synonymous with automated, precise, and efficient assembly, gas filling, and pressing of double- to quadruple-IG units. The delivery type ZPG-V machine will be used by AGC Glass Europe to produce sophisticated IG units for the fire-resistant glass Pyrobel-T, ranging from classic rectangular formats to almost all other shaped formats.

"The delivery of the 1,500th UNIT'ASSEMBLER is a strong sign of our customers' confidence in the quality and performance of this machine. Especially in a highly competitive market such as insulating glass production, process reliability, productivity and consistently high quality are decisive factors."
— Jens Mayr, EVP Solutions & Operations at Glaston

✨ High Quality and Maximum Flexibility

The UNIT'ASSEMBLER impresses with its precise alignment of the glass panels via a lifting beam at the lower running level and a fixed stop at the front edge. This ensures uniform compression of all units – regardless of whether they are double, triple, or quadruple IG units.

Another key feature is the integrated gas filling technology. A calibrated gas sensor continuously monitors the gas filling process and ensures consistent, reproducible gas quality. As an option, the UNIT'ASSEMBLER can be equipped with a synchro gas-filling function, enabling it to fill triple IG units with gas in the same amount of time as double IG units.

🔧 Designed for Demanding Insulating Glass Formats

Thanks to its modular concept, the UNIT'ASSEMBLER offers almost unlimited possibilities for insulating glass construction. It processes all standard rigid and flexible spacers, such as TPS®, and, depending on the version, also enables the production of extra-long IG units in a two-stage process.

With working heights of up to 3.30 meters and workable lengths of up to 5.00 m (or up to 6.00 m in the tandem version), the machine is ideal for manufacturers who rely on high flexibility and future-proofing.

🌍 Successful Technology with International Reach

The delivery to AGC Glass Europe underscores UNIT'ASSEMBLER's strong market position in Europe and worldwide. Since its introduction, the system has established itself as a central component of modern insulating glass lines, significantly improving productivity and quality in glass processing.

With the 1,500th machine delivered, Glaston once again confirms its position as a provider of innovative and reliable solutions for the insulating glass industry.
