Aviation Glass and Technology has acquired the cutting-edge GLASS 110 AVIATION lamination machine from Flexa.
Aviation Glass provides aviation innovation by offering glass solutions for every aircraft application. Their product range includes standard mirrors, integrated lighting mirrors, coloured mirrors, interactive solutions, AeroGlass lenses, screen covers and more.
From glass solutions to innovative technologies, Aviation Glass is reshaping aircraft interiors for comfort, safety and design. ‘With our newest machine, we can optimise our laminated glass to elevate innovation in the aviation and glass industry,’ declared Jaap Wiersema, Managing Director of Specialist Aviation Glass.
The advantages for Aviation Glass with a Flexa laminator are multiple. Automation, simplified processes reaching a wider audience, exceptional precision and accuracy, glass cleaning and a high degree of repeatability in the manufacturing process. Flexa owner, Massimo Vettorazzo, personally oversaw the project and emphasised their delight in delivering a customised solution, combining team expertise and attention to detail.
The GLASS 110 AVIATION comprises three components: a motorised inlet table with a robust adjustable reference bar for centred work alignment, a laminator and a motorised outlet table. The laminating unit integrates a contact cleaning element with pneumatic lifting systems, automatic raising during long pauses to prevent roll flattening, and an antistatic bar to reduce suspended microdust. It can handle glass sheets weighing up to 130kg and measuring 2500 x 320mm. The laminating rollers operating cold or at 60°C enable high-speed productivity with an advancement speed of 10m/min. Additionally, the trimming unit for adjusting film width minimises additional steps for operators.
Daan van den Brink, Operations Director, expressed his satisfaction with the new Flexa lamination machine, highlighting increased efficiency, reliability and user-friendliness, ‘The collaboration between Aviation Glass and Flexa represents a significant step forward in advancing technology and innovation in the aviation industry.’
