Architectural Glass Processing Solutions

Large architectural glass requires stable handling throughout cutting, edge processing, drilling, washing, and downstream treatment. The solution is configured around the maximum glass dimensions, thickness, sheet weight, loading method, and transfer requirements.
The processing system can combine automatic glass cutting with edge grinding, drilling and milling, washing, and downstream tempering or lamination. Transfer tables and handling equipment can be incorporated between processing stages where continuous production is required.
This configuration reduces unnecessary manual movement of large sheets and provides a coordinated route from initial cutting to downstream processing.

Architectural glass may require flat edges, arris, seams, polishing, bevels, or other specified edge profiles depending on the final application.
Sky Glass integrates edge grinding and polishing into the processing sequence according to the required edge profile and finish. The configuration can include straight-line or double-edge processing equipment, with grinding and polishing stages selected according to the glass specification and finished edge requirements.
For projects requiring downstream tempering or lamination, edge processing is arranged as part of the overall production sequence rather than treated as an isolated operation.

Curtain wall glass, structural glazing, point-supported glass, and other architectural products may require holes, notches, slots, or milled sections for installation hardware.
The solution combines CNC drilling and milling with the required cutting and edge-processing stages. Hole diameter, position, quantity, notches, and machining sequence are evaluated from the product drawings and glass specifications.
This allows drilling and milling operations to be incorporated into either a standalone production setup or a connected processing line.

After cutting, grinding, drilling, or milling, glass surfaces may contain particles and processing residues that need to be removed before subsequent production.
Sky Glass integrates automatic washing and drying into the processing route according to the downstream requirement. Depending on the product, the washing stage can be positioned before tempering, lamination, coating, printing, or final assembly.
For projects with multiple processing stages, transfer and handling arrangements can be used to maintain a continuous material flow between machines.

A typical architectural glass solution may follow:
Glass Cutting → Edge Grinding / Polishing → Drilling / Milling → Washing → Tempering / Lamination

Architectural glass processing equipment is manufactured and assembled at our Foshan facility, with steel fabrication, CNC machining, mechanical assembly, electrical integration, commissioning, and pre-shipment testing carried out within our manufacturing process.

For equipment used in large-format and heavier glass processing, production checks cover structural components, machining accuracy, mechanical alignment, and machine operation before shipment. Completed machines undergo an 8- to 24-hour continuous running and stability test before packing.

Share your glass type, thickness, maximum dimensions, required processing operations, edge requirements, target production volume, factory layout, and automation requirements.

Sky Glass can evaluate the required processing sequence and configure a standalone system, connected production line, or project-specific architectural glass processing solution.
