Welder

Sturtz Machinery Inc.’s SMI-HSM-30/25-Turbo-CL ContourLine welder features seamless welding on visible surfaces of a frame or sash. The company’s process eliminates the need for cleaning visible surfaces, as well as the need to touch up corners of painted or laminated windows. This is accomplished without sacrificing weld strength. 

Glass inspection system

The SurfX Glass inspection system by SynergX is a fully automated inline inspection system for flat glass panels, designed for a wide range of glass manufacturing applications. The SurfX Glass scanner inspects and finds defects in flat glass reliably, minimizing both human inspection and potential liability, and helping companies optimize production lines. The SurfX inspects a range of glass types—from bird safety glass, vacuum insulating glass, insulating glass units, and laminated, tempered, and annealed—to smart glass and solar.

Spline insertion machinery

The Winpro Screen Express System automates the manual process of spline insertion on window screens, raising the bar on productivity, efficiency and cost savings. By automating a difficult and manual process, the Winpro Screen Express ends repetitive motion injuries often experienced by workers in the window fabrication industry. Less labor intensive than a traditional manual process, the production of more high-quality screens per hour is possible without the normal costly labor.
