In the 1980s, TUROMAS engineers discovered that the loading phase slowed down the rest of the flat glass processing. To solve this bottleneck, they developed a system consisting of a tilt arm with suction cups for loading and unloading glass plates onto the cutting table.

To date, since the launch of this pioneering, reliable and safe solution, more than 1,200 devices have been manufactured and sold worldwide, and have expanded significantly in the Spanish, Brazilian and Portuguese markets.

This technology has been used in any situation for more than 30 years, however, it has not been left idle all the time, but has evolved into new models that incorporate conveyor belts to locate and evacuate glass panels in a fully automatic manner.

Currently, the TUROMAS R&D department is developing a new version for processing large-size glass and a new direct separation system. There is no doubt that these advancements will completely change the glass industry.

The TUROMAS loading system has multiple benefits for customers who decide to purchase it. Benefits in improving productivity, optimizing plant distribution, economic savings and plant safety.

In order to automate the glass loading and cutting process, TUROMAS provides different solutions according to the customer's investment or the complexity of equipment installation.

The most standard solution is to combine the RUBI 303VA workbench for cutting whole glass with the separation workbench, or add the MV-300 loading workbench to the compact laminated glass workbench. Both are equipped with tilt arms with suction cups, which can load glass plates regardless of the thickness and type of glass.

The arms with suction cups that perform the loading function are incorporated into the structure of the same table, thereby eliminating the need for an external loader or transfer table.

Together with the suction cup, the arm structure is equipped with a stopper, which can manually feed the cutting table like a traditional loading arm. In this way, the loading system can be adapted to customers who have highly variable production and require flexible loading systems to meet their needs.

For companies with a large number of glass varieties, the alternative is to combine a basic smart warehouse with a cutting table containing a TUROMAS loading system. The combination of the two machines can optimize the space and allocate the unused area of ​​the loader to expand the storage capacity of the system.

This is the case with the VAC cutting model with TUROMAS loading system and positioning belt. An extremely compact and high-performance automatic glass loading and cutting solution.

In particular, the RUBI 403VAC-6 model allows two pieces of glass to be placed on the workbench at the same time, moving synchronously, allowing the second piece of glass to enter the cutting area while the first piece of glass is evacuated to the crushing system. In addition, the RUBI 403VAC-6 model offers the possibility of extending useful cutting to 6100 x 3300 mm.

Finally, a fully automated solution is to integrate an automated warehouse-Rack-Shuttle SR and an automated cutting line. A simple and economical alternative that can automatically store, load and cut glass with a 300% increase in performance.

Every factory is different, they have elements that hinder or hinder the installation or operation of the machine, limit the effective working area to the space between the columns in the same hall, and are always subject to the availability of the entire bridge crane. Mounted storage area.

The SR system was born to break the restrictions, because it can work between different halls by skipping the pillars and does not require an overhead crane to cover the entire storage area. The glass is reloaded on a specific shelf in the storage area, which will be moved within the warehouse by the machine itself.

In addition, these storage systems adopt a modular design, so that the machine can gradually increase the number of racks and storage areas as the company's needs continue to grow.

Thanks to the TUROMAS loading system, the cutting table can load glass panels directly from the warehouse rack. In addition, Rack-Shuttle SR allows simultaneous feeding to two production lines arranged in parallel, increasing the workflow and glass supply for subsequent processes.

On the one hand, greater flexibility and higher productivity, on the other hand, the combination of Rack-Shuttle-SR warehouse and automatic loaders with tilt arms and suction cups form a production system that can meet the most demanding requirements. The processor can adapt to almost any space and type of glass at the same time.

Compared with other traditional systems that do not integrate automatic glass loading, the TUROMAS loading system can save customers 10,000 to 12,000 euros per year because the operator does not need to feed the cutting table and can allocate it to other tasks.

In addition, the overhead crane can be used instead to feed the cutting table, and can be reserved for other industrial processes, such as the loading and unloading of raw materials and finished products.

Another major benefit of this technology of integrating the loader into the cutting table itself is that it optimizes space, thereby saving the cost of the automatic loader. Some companies do not have sufficient infrastructure, so it is important for them to make full use of the available space.

The TUROMAS loading system improves employee safety by preventing accidents that may occur when manually feeding the cutting table, thereby improving work happiness.

Prevent labor risks and significantly reduce damage caused by collisions, because the suction cup on the arm can detect when the glass surface is closed before activating the vacuum to prevent possible collisions.

In order to control the gripping force of the suction cup, the vacuum pressure switch will indicate when the optimum vacuum for each glass size is reached. In addition, these suction cups are designed to pull only one piece of glass from the package in each cycle.

All these data are monitored and displayed on the desk console and office monitor.

Glass is a material that has many types and applications according to its composition. Therefore, the TUROMAS loading system is specially designed to work under any circumstances.

The system allows automatic loading of standard single glass plates with a thickness of 2 mm. To 25 mm. And a laminated glass panel of up to 12+12 mm.

In particular, laminated glass is heavy and therefore difficult to move. For ease of handling, the Spanish manufacturer provides glass processors with the most compact laminated glass loading and cutting solutions on the market: MV-300 loading table and LAM 304 cutting table.

In addition, the design of the loading system always avoids contact with the top layer of the glass, and will not touch it when transporting and loading the glass, so it will not affect the quality of the low-emissivity layer.

Each warehouse is unique and each customer has different requirements. Therefore, TUROMAS handling equipment is versatile and tailor-made. The most advanced technological solutions are not only suitable for entrepreneurs who take the first step in automation, but also for entrepreneurs who need the greatest degree of automation and productivity.
