Flex Edge

Flex Edge

Bottero machines are ideal for processing structural glass, partition walls, shower cubicles, shelves, balustrades, steps and furnishing elements, providing productivity, precision and reliability over time to operate on multiple shifts, up to 24/7 service.

Main qualities

The Bottero range of double edgers for flat edge processing has been designed to meet all requirements of performance and quality.

The new automatic dubbing facility enables the finished pieces to be transferred immediately to the toughening process. The dubbed corners are also safer to handle.
In the double edger model the finishing unit can be:
• Pneumatic (standard model): manual tracking speed adjustment and manual edge dimension adjustment (without changing the size of the wheel).
• Servo-Pneumatic: manual tracking speed adjustment and motorised edge dimension adjustment from control panel (without changing the size of the wheel).

• Fully servo for radius and chamfers: motorized tracking speed adjustment and motorised edge dimension adjustment from control panel (without changing the size of the wheel) Including double grinding tools (diamond & polishing).
The high quality of the polishing is guaranteed by the automatic control of the pressure of the proportional valves (Patent Pending).
- maximum radius 5 mm regardless of the glass thickness
- maximum working speed with polished finishing 3 m/min
- maximum chamfer 7 mm
- maximum glass thickness 30 mm

The double sided edging machine can be configured with 10, 12, 14,15 or 17 grinding wheels.
The machine is particularly suited to process large sizes and thickness and double edger platform can be integrated with totally automatic lines for flexible productions, in small or large batches, with automatic dimension changes managed by the dedicated software.

Why Choose Them?
Because of their high build quality

The coaxial spindles guarantee vibration-free operation and as a result maximum grinding efficiency. The absence of belts and pulleys reduces the number of parts subject to wear and replacement. The choice of mechanical and electronic trade components by leading manufacturers ensures reliability and availability over time.

The belts are made in polyurethane with stainless steel inner cables and ground on the back and sides to ensure high precision of glass advancement. The width of the belts is modular, depending on the type and weight of the glass to be conveyed. The large-sized pulleys enable the specific load to be divided when working with heavy glass. This means longer lifespan for the belts.

The brushless motors to open the carriage are connected to an electric axis. The motors are controlled via a closed loop drive thus making high speed traversing, movement fluidity, and optimal positioning precision possible.

Why Choose Them?
Because they guarantee quality

Wide access is guaranteed at your disposal operator for maintenance, thanks to the to the rise of the pressure and the simultaneous opening the wagon.
The replacement tooling is very fast, thanks to the use of a of a single screw for fixing the tool.

The diamond spindle slides are equipped with servo motors to automatically adjust the work position when the glass is approached. The wheels reset cycle is therefore rapid and does not require an operator.

Why Choose Them?
Because they make sense

The ammeters to detect the current absorbed by the processing motors have been placed next to the corresponding spindles in order to facilitate readings by the operator engaged in adjusting the wheels.
