- MODULAR SYSTEM THAT CAN BE DESIGN TO FIT IN ANY PRODUCTION SPACE
- SAFE HANDLING SYSTEM WITH LOW LABOUR USAGE
- OPTIMISED MANAGEMENT BY DEDICATED SOFTWARE
The ST6006 Automatic Stock Selection System is a practical, rapid solution to large glass sheet management.
The 10 standard elements can be orientated to either side of the pick-up station according to specific infrastructure requirements.
However the modular structure of the rack configuration can easily be increased to accommodate additional storage elements according to
production requirements.
The patented operating method of the shuttle rack which uses just a single station to manage the whole store. This station is capable of
moving, automatically coupling and towing the storage racks to change their organisation within the store. It can convey the storage racks
directly to the Forel automatic loader or to the feed area. In this way the system becomes extremely useful, versatile and capable of adapting

- SAFE HANDLING OF JUMBO SHEETS
- FULLY INTEGRATED WITH THE VERTICAL CUTTING LINE FOR TOTAL AUTOMATION
- SUCTION CUP HANDLING SYSTEM WITH DUAL SAFETY CIRCUIT
The Forel Automatic Vertical Loader can be used in all situations where glass sheets have to be passed from one vertical machine to another.
Therefore its field of application is not merely limited to the Forel Automatic Vertical Cutting Line or Automatic Stock Selection System.
The essential feature of this machine can be found in the pick-up system that separates sheets when they are stored as part of a stack. To
assist with the detachment, the pickup is made in two steps. A first series of suction cups partially grabs the top border and detaches it from
the other sheets; the remaining suction cups then grab the whole sheet, which is separated from the others by small lifting and outward movements, thus delivering safe removal of every single sheet.

- REVOLUTIONARY WORK PROCESS: THE SHEET IS ALWAYS KEPT VERTICAL
- HIGH PRODUCTIVITY AND LOW LABOUR REQUIREMENT
- TOTAL SAFETY WITH MINIMAL SPACE REQUIREMENT
Forel penetrated the cutting sector in 1996 when it presented its VC model that revolutionised the production process by setting the glass
sheet vertical for the whole length of the cycle.
The VC range reaches cutting heights that range from 3300mm, 4500mm and 6000mm with a minimum cut-off of just 110mm.
The work process starts by picking up the glass sheet by the art. AL automatic loader. The mobile bridge moves into place and transmits
the data to the stationary bridge for a square cut, the sheet is then scored and broken; special heating elements promptly soften the PVB
film while a patented mechanism uniformly stretches it out. After the first bridge process, the sheet is rotated 90° via the vertical turning
station and then proceeds and undergoes any further cutting.
Every operation is fully automatic and labour is limited to just unloading the final product.
The unloading and production management are assisted by a monitoring system with dedicated software that views the cut glass dimensions and job lot.
The automatic features of the VC are further enhanced by using the ST6006 automated stock selection system, so a single operator at the
control station can manage storage, loading and cutting from just one point completely automatically and in total safety.

CANTILEVER TILTING TABLE FOR ART. VC02
The TT2503 Cantilever Tilting Table is powered by oleodynamic cylinders that tilts the glass from the vertical to horizontal by a foot pedal
control.
The “cantilever” movement simultaneously advances the table by the wheels on the base of the superstructure.
When the worktable has been tilted horizontal, the glass can be handled on the table by an air cushion created by a fan, moreover a
special infrared lamp mounted on the front of the tilting table heats the PVB film for easier separation.
It has an operator safety system which utilises a pressure sensitive mat, on tripping the safety circuit all moving mechanical parts are
locked in order to guarantee full operator safety when manually unloading glass.

13
AUTOMATIC COATING REMOVER
- DIFFERENT VERSIONS AVAILABLE TO REMOVE ANY EXISTING KIND OF COATING
- TOTAL REMOVAL OF COATINGS GUARENTEED FOR SEALANT ADHESION
- HIGH SPEED CYCLE TIMES TO MAXIMISE PRODUCTION SCHEDULES
This process prepares the glass for the adhesion of glass sealant in the primary and secondary sealing stages. The machine automatically
controls the correct face of the sheet and then removes the film along the perimeter edge.
The Forel patented system offers several advantages: it can work on shaped glass with no tool changes required. The cup grinding tool gives
the abrasive surface better yield thereby increasing its long-term reliability; every border of the glass is processed in a continuous sequence,
without delay since the tool is never raised from the glass or aligned to another edge.
Any dust or particle debris is immediately evacuated and removed from the cycle via two high powered extraction ducts.
The machine comes with variable conveyor length options.
If a more aggressive action is required for special or tempered coatings the machine is available as an alternative design featuring a peripheral wheel acting perpendicularly on the glass sheet.

VERTICAL ARRISSING MACHINE - BASIC MODEL
- ARRISSING ELIMINATES MICRO FRACTURES CREATED DURING GLASS CUTTING
- THE REMOVAL OF SHARP EDGES ENHANCES SAFE SHEET HANDLING
- IT AUTOMATICALLY ACQUIRES THE GLASSES DIMENSIONAL DATA ITSELF, WHEN PROCESSING RECTANGULAR SHAPES
The Forel Automatic Arrissing Machine is highly modular and can be installed in IGU production lines either built by Forel or other machinery manufacturers, it is however often used independently upstream of IGU production in the necessary pre-processing of glass sheets
before tempering.
The machine is very easy to use as it automatically acquires the glasses dimensional data itself and then works the sheet accordingly at
very high speeds.
The arrissing takes place with horizontal movement of the glass pane (on specific drive vertical rollers) and the operating head vertically.
The two independent grinding heads use diamond grinding tools to guarantee uniform removal of sharp edges and can be set to work at
varying depths.
The robust stainless steel and aluminium superstructure will protect against contamination from water and ensure durability throughout the
machines lifespan.

- OPTIMAL SQUARING OF THE GLASS SHEET WITH HIGH ARRISSING CAPACITY
- HIGH SPEED CYCLE TIMES WITH SELF-LEARNING CAPABILITY
- RECTILINEAR & CURVED SHAPED GLASS PROCESSING, COMPATIBLE WITH THE MOST DELICATE COATINGS
The EM Vertical Edge Grinding and Arrissing Machine offers some highly innovative characteristics with regards to the standard arrissing
process.
An unique system guarantees sheet to wheel centring even if the glass is not perfectly flat which is often the case in laminated glass.
The edging machine is capable of continuous processing on all four sides of a sheet, both straight and shaped, without having to handle
the actual piece, significantly reducing work times for arrissed and polished edge glass in variable thickness, satisfying the same production schedules and timing as that used by double glazed unit production lines.
The machine works with a series of interchangeable chucks that individually can mount several diamond wheels (200mm diameter). The
chuck can carry diamond tools that enables the machine to work with multiple glass thicknesses, offering different types and levels of
finish.

ARRISSING AND INDUSTRIAL GRINDING MACHINE
- HIGH PRODUCTION OUTPUT THANKS TO THE TWO OPERATING HEADS
- SELF-LEARNING OF RECTANGULAR SHAPES
- POSSIBILITY OF OBTAINING VARIOUS TYPES OF FINISHES, COMPATIBLY WITH THE MORE DELICATE COATINGS
The GM grinding machine has design features such as to enable it to comply with the work times of the insulating glass plant.
The vertical work cycles make use of the speed of two operating heads to considerably increase production output.
Jobs can be done on both rectangular and shaped glass, including glass with curvilinear parts, reducing the work time needed to make roughedge glass of various thicknesses compared to traditional methods.
The acquisition and grinding of rectangular or square shapes, depending on need, can be done in various operation modes – by directly setting
the final dimensions of the sheet of glass or in self-learning mode.
The machine allows the quick fitting of several grinding wheels (diameter 200 mm) on a series of interchangeable cones on the same spindle.
Thanks to these options, different thicknesses and types of finish can be obtained such as arrissing and industrial grinding.

AUTOMATIC SHAPE SCANNER
- AUTOMATICALLY DETECTS GLASS SHEET DIMENSIONS AND SHAPE
- SHAPE DATA TRANSFERE IS AUTOMATIC TO ONLINE SHAPE ROBOTS
- LIVE SCAN IS ACCURATE TO THE ACTUAL GLASS PANE AND DOE NOT RELY ON OUTPUT FILE INFO
The SQD00 Automatic Shape Scanner can be installed vertically as part of an automatic IG unit line or horizontally for tempering plant and
so on.The shape data of the glass sheet is collected by the SQD scanners by means of an image that is captured more than 2000 times
per second. These images combined with the onboard software detail an outline of the glass sheet that is accurate to within 0.35mm
regardless of the surface and type of glass.
The collated data is then transferred into a drawing file and posted to all compatible shape robots for them to process the glass sequentially according to there application.There is no loss in cycle time when using this device.
This innovative device replaces the need to either manually entre shape data or retrieve the information from an output file. The file data
can often differ from that of the actual piece of glass due to the many work cycles that piece of glass may have undergone before reaching
the IG unit line. Other advantages are that shaped glass production can be run in any sequence and is not constrained by the order of file
entry. If two glass pieces are loaded to the line that are either out of sequence or not paired then onboard software will detect the mistake
and stop with an audible alarm.

AUTOMATIC QUALITY CONTROL SCANNER
- AUTOMATICALLY DETECTS SURFACE DEFECTS TO BOTH SIDES OF THE SHEET
- ILLUSTRATES DEFECTS VIA VDU FOR QUICK AND EFFICIENT PROCESSING
- DEFECT DATA IS ARCHIVED FOR POST PRODUCTION ANALYSIS
The SQD01 Automatic Quality Control Scanner can be installed vertically as part of an automatic IG unit line or horizontally for tempering
plant and so on.The clarity and quality of the glass sheet is collected by the SQD scanners by means of an image that is captured more than
2000 times per second. These images combined with the onboard software detail an overall image of the glass surface that is set to specific
client specification. The collated data is then transferred into a picture file and posted to a VDU as to allow the operator quick and easy
direction to potential quality failure. There is no loss in cycle time when using this device.
This innovative device replaces the need to manually inspect all glass sheets for quality, the onboard software can be pre set to determine
exacting quality standards. The scanner modules are sensitive to such defects as scratches, seeds, thumb prints, debris and tempering
defects like scourge marks. The work cycle scans the glass and only if a defect is present an audible alarm will sound and the glass sheet
will stop, an illustrated view of the glass sheet with its defects listed by severity will now be displayed on the operators VDU for inspection.
The SQD01 is especially useful when dealing with large sheets of glass when it is almost impossible for a single operator to detect all the
surface defects.If two glass pieces are loaded to the line that are either out of sequence or not paired then onboard software will detect the
mistake and stop with an audible alarm.

- AUTOMATICALLY APPLIES FLEXIBLE SPACER TO THE EDGE OF THE GLASS SHEET
- PRODUCT WASTE IS MINIMAL
- MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY WITH LOW OPERATOR USAGE
The Forel TSS Automatic Flexible Spacer Applicator feeds a continuous strip of foam impregnated rubber from a jumbo bobbin and applies
it directly on one of two glass sheets to form a spacer frame.
In comparison to traditional systems, the use of this type of spacer system offers an improvement in the insulating properties of the double
glazed unit and ensures a better and instant bond with the glass sheet.
The incoming sheet thickness and dimensions are automatically measured, the glass is acquired by a rear mounted suction device that
controls the lateral movement of the sheet. The robot head then applies the super spacer to all four edges of the glass sticking the spacer
by the acrylic glue mounted to the edge of the super spacer.
The applicator is predisposed to work with both rectilinear and curved shapes and is assisted by an onboard shape library. The insertion of
slits can be achieved when considering mounting internal Georgian and astragal bar.
The jumbo bobbin reel is quick and simple to change.

FLAT PLATE COUPLING PRESS WITH GAS FILLING
- CAVITY FILLING WITH OVER 95% GAS YIELD
- REVOLUTIONARY LAMINAR FILLING TECHNOLOGY
- GAS RECOVERY SYSTEM TO MINIMISE GAS WASTE
The APG series of coupling presses couples double glazed units and simultaneously fills them with gas. The volume of gas is automatically
calculated via a bespoke measuring system contained within the press body.
Once gas (normally Argon or Krypton) has been placed into the unit cavity to a precise percentage it acts by reducing the heat transmission
coefficient and in some cases reduces the affect of noise through the pane.
This machine offers a high fill ratio quickly and efficiently filling the unit cavity with Argon or Krypton gas, waste is kept to a minimum via a
patented manifold exhaust system working in tandem with an inflatable gasket which channels the gas precisely from the under side of the
unit. This is especially useful when dealing with oversized and or triple glazed units.
The Forel APG Coupling Press is a very precise, practical and efficient machine and due to its structure and movement delivers totally

- USE OF LAMINAR FILLING PROCESS WITH PERCENTAGE >95%
The GFC article allows controlling gas filling of the panel inter-space in a simple and safe way, working in line with the system for insulating
glass composition.
The machine automatically introduces the gas into the panel chamber, exploiting a laminar type filling motion. The gas is introduced through
the micro holes in the spacer profile itself. In the top part of the panel, a probe determines the percentage of remaining oxygen, until the
required quantity of gas is reached. Subsequently, the introduction and verification points are automatically sealed by applying butyl which
ensures the frame is hermetically sealed and that the gas stays in the inter-space over time. These operations are performed in a fully
independent way by the machine, without any manual operations being needed. The level of gas concentration and relevant times are
managed on-board the machine by the interface computer which also allows storing the data and cataloguing production, as well as controlling the volume of gas used.
The system allows controlling two different gas supplies and working triple glazing and shaped glazing. Such automation is simple and
reliable to use.

SPACE BAR BENDER
- BENDS ALUMINIUM, STAINLESS STEEL AND WARM EDGE SPACER SYSTEMS
- EXCLUSIVE SMART ARM TO INCREASE QUALITY AND PRODUCTIVITY
- STOCK WITH 12 STATIONS WITH EASY LOADING AREA
The space bar bender has a continuous drive system to increase the productivity up to 180 frames per hour and it also help to reduce the
overall dimensions of the machine. A new tool allows you to cut cleanly and precisely different materials without burrs. A completely
redesigned stock now allows a facilitated profiles loading, offering a comfortable support surface and easy management of the partially used
bars.
The exclusive Smart Arm does not leave the frame swinging freely while bending, a phenomenon that stresses and deforms the freshly
made folds and same sides. We block the profile with an exclusive system that supports the frame throughout the process accompanying it
until the end of the process, therefore medium and large frames do not collapse or deform anymore due to: the weight, the inertia and the
friction. Only this way you can get a spacer frame that meets all the technological features that today's regulations and the market require.

- DESICCANT FILLED FROM THE OUTER CAVITY EDGE OF THE SPACER FRAME
- AUTOMATIC SPACER FRAME DRILLING AND DESICCANT FILLING
- PREDISPOSED FOR SHAPED SPACER FRAME FILLING
The DFN632 drills the spacer frame externally using 2 drills set at 90° to enable the desiccant to flow freely into the box cavity of the spacer
frame, the 2 drilled holes are then automatically sealed by two butyl rubber extrusion nozzles that hermetically seal in the desiccant with PIB.
The two pilot fill holes are drilled via the outer edge of the spacer frame thus leaving the side walls and the inner cavity edge of the spacer
frame free from holes and or distortion.
The machine is also capable of managing shaped spacer frames by making use of an extra fill port mounted to the machine superstructure.
Up to four sides of the frame can be filled using either one or both heads simultaneously. Total spacer frame production can be managed by
just one operator when the DFN is used in conjunction with an: Art. PBA632, Automatic Spacer Bar Bender.
The Automatic Desiccant Dispenser can work with common 0.5 to 0.8mm grade desiccant.
The high productivity and automation of the DFN can be further enhanced by the use of an optional automatic frame loading – unloading
accessory. The work process does not affect in any way the quality of primary sealing.

- INNOVATIVE FEATURES AND PERFORMANCE
- INDEPENDENT CIRCUITS FOR SYMMETRICAL DOSING
- OPERATOR FUNCTIONS VIA TOUCH-SCREEN CONTROL
The MB7501 Automatic Butyl Rubber Extruder simultaneously applies a measured butyl strip to each side of the spacer frame. The PIB flow
is identical for both sides and is adjusted in tandem via precision dosing units. The machine has a flow control regulator that sets the weight
of PIB extruded per linear metre, constant flow is maintained even when the draw speed is varied.
The spacer frame is conveyed at constant speed by a belt with adjustable speed regulation.
The extrusion nozzle and side guide spacer used to adapt to various spacer thickness, is automatically set by simply entering the thickness
of the spacer bar into the control unit. PIB can be applied to both rectilinear and curved shaped frames with PIB block replacement being
quick and easy.
All the machines synchronisation, heating and temperature control are monitored via the on board PLC. Pre heating the butyl rubber can be
started manually or programmed automatically via a week by week digital timer.
The machines superstructure is made from high grade steel offering an ideal platform for mounting precision extrusion equipment. This
machine is extremely robust delivering continuous accurate PIB extrusion as a primary seal.

- PRIMARY EXTRUSION IS PERFORMED FULLY AUTOMATICALLY
- HIGH SPEED-QUALITY PRODUCTION
- DIGITAL MANAGEMENT VIA TOUCH SCREEN CONTROL
This latest fully automatic PIB extruder is the result of Forel’s thirty years’ experience in the field of double glazed units.
The machine is operated by just one person and automatically applies the PIB along the peripheral edge of the box spacer frame. Throughout
the process there is no contact between the sealant and the frame conveyor thereby leaving the adhesion properties of the PIB unaltered.
The width of the spacer frame is detected via a sensor allowing the nozzle spacer guides to open automatically. The quantity of butyl to be
extruded can be adjusted by onboard software to meet with specific requirement or request. The spacer frames are loaded and unloaded via
two cartridges which ensure continuous production.
As an option the AB3201 can be further enhanced when it is combined with Forel’s Automatic Desiccant Dispenser Art DFN632 and PBA632
Automatic Spacer Bar Bender. If all three machines are linked just one operator can bend, desiccant fill and PIB the spacer frame in simultaneous cycle.
This fully automated system provides for the most efficient way to produce quality spacer frames which in turn guarantees the seal in the
manufacture of double glazed units.
