Glass

The production of flat glass and curved glass in the automotive and building sectors requires automated systems of high precision and speed to guarantee reduced cycle times and the minimum tolerances required. The applications for glass intended for the automotive sector developed by Tekna Automazione e Controllo and the automation of machines and lines for the production of side glasses, windshields and rear windows, as well as for glass bending and tempering, have allowed us to acquire Know-how how specific in the automation of glass working processes that make Tekna Automazione e Controllo an ideal partner for the development of glass production lines and tempering furnaces.

Continuous glass tempering oven capable of tempering flat and curved glass of different sizes and thicknesses, thanks to its advanced automation with recipe management. The optimized management of the hot chambers of the furnace makes it possible to produce glass with reduced electricity consumption.
