Integrated Dual-head Glass Waterjet Cutting Machine
Product Overview
The APW-LX3020I-ZZ is a fully automatic inline glass waterjet cutting machine developed specifically for the glass processing industry.
The machine integrates glass conveying, automatic positioning, barcode/QR code identification, submerged cutting, dual-head machining, and post-cut washing into a single production unit.
Unlike conventional standalone glass waterjet cutting machines, the APW-LX3020I-ZZ is designed around continuous production-line operation. Automated conveying, intelligent positioning, cutting, and washing minimize manual handling and positioning, transforming waterjet cutting from a standalone process into an intelligent processing unit within the glass production line.
High-Rigidity Integrated Machine Frame
The machine features a High-Rigidity integrated frame with reinforced Y-Axis supports designed for continuous production.
Critical transmission mounting surfaces are precision-machined as integrated reference surfaces, improving motion-system installation accuracy and long-term stability.
Customer Benefits:
More stable continuous operation
Reduced machine vibration
Improved processing consistency
Greater long-term reliability
Intelligent Barcode & QR Code Scanning
A highspeed industrial camera scans QR codes or barcodes while the glass is being conveyed.
The system can automatically associate each piece of glass with its corresponding cutting program and production information.
Customer Benefits:
Less manual data entry
Reduced risk of incorrect sheets or programs
Faster order changeovers
Individual product traceability
Foundation for digital factory management
Modular Maintenance Design
The machine uses a modular layout for the High-Pressure, conveying, control, and washing systems.
Core components are highly standardized for easier inspection, removal, and replacement.
The glass guiding, clamping, limiting, and washing modules are also designed for flexible configuration according to different production requirements.
The machine can be securely anchored to the floor to further improve platform stability.
Customer Benefits:
Faster fault diagnosis
Easier component replacement
Shorter maintenance downtime
Lower production losses
Easier future automation upgrades
Fully Automatic Inline Production
The machine integrates glass conveying, positioning, cutting, and washing and can be connected to upstream and downstream production equipment.
The maximum conveying speed reaches 30 m/min, with stepless speed adjustment to match different production line takt times.
Customer Benefits:
Less manual loading and unloading
Less material handling
Higher production continuity
Lower labor requirements
Intelligent Positioning & Alignment
The machine features a modular glass positioning system including:
Guide rollers
Clamping devices
Protective limiters
Adjustable positioning mechanisms
As the glass enters the cutting area, it is automatically guided, positioned, and secured, minimizing positional deviations caused by manual handling.
Customer Benefits:
Higher positioning accuracy
Less operator-induced error
Better batch to batch consistency
Lower risk of misalignment and scrap
Submerged Low Damage Cutting
The machine uses an automatic submerged waterjet cutting process.
Once the glass reaches the designated cutting position, the system automatically lowers the worktable, bringing the glass into a shallow water environment for cutting. After cutting, the worktable automatically returns to its operating height.
Submerged cutting helps absorb and dissipate the impact of the ultra-High-Pressure waterjet, reducing vibration and shock transmitted to the glass during machining.
The submerged water level can be manually adjusted to suit different glass types and processing requirements.
High-Efficiency Dual-head Cutting
The APW-LX3020I-ZZ features dual Z-axis cutting heads for simultaneous dual-head machining.
The dual-head configuration is designed specifically for continuous, high volume glass production.
Customer Benefits:
Higher throughput
Shorter production cycles
Better synchronization with production-line takt time
Higher machine utilization
Flexible Roller Conveying System
The conveying platform uses a modular roller design.
Roller positions, spacing, and quantity can be adjusted according to different glass sizes and processing requirements. Individual rollers can also be removed and replaced independently.
After adjustment, the roller system does not require complete rebalancing, allowing rapid adaptation to different production requirements.
Customer Benefits:
Handles a wider range of glass sizes
Faster product changeovers
Lower changeover costs
Easy replacement of wear components
Greater long-term production flexibility
Integrated Cutting & Washing
An automatic washing station is integrated directly after the cutting area.
After waterjet cutting, the glass is automatically conveyed into the washing zone, where multiple spray nozzles clean the glass surface and remove residual abrasive and cutting debris.
The standard washing section is approximately 2 meters long and equipped with 14 spray units for continuous surface coverage.
Customer Benefits:
Eliminates manual secondary washing
Reduces glass handling
Minimizes abrasive residue
Seamlessly connects to downstream processes
Typical Production Workflow
The entire workflow is coordinated by the CNC control system, minimizing manual intervention and enabling continuous processing from material entry through cutting and post-cut washing.
It is particularly suitable for glass processors looking to reduce labor, increase production throughput, improve processing consistency, and implement digital production management.
