Extended Laminated Glass Cutting for Larger Sheets

The Vetromac LAM33L is a high-technology laminated glass cutting module developed for integration with Vetromac CNC float glass cutting machines.

When combined with a compatible Vetromac cutting table, the LAM33L creates an all-in-one glass cutting system capable of processing both monolithic float glass and laminated glass within a coordinated production area.

This integrated configuration allows professional glass processors to expand their laminated-glass capabilities without installing a completely separate laminated-glass cutting line.

Laminated Glass Processing Capacity

The LAM33L is designed for laminated glass compositions ranging from 3+3 mm to 8+8 mm.

It supports laminated glass lengths up to 3,300 mm and provides positioning accuracy of ±0.5 mm.

With a maximum operating speed of 160 m/min, the module combines precise positioning, controlled glass handling and efficient industrial performance.

Extended L Configuration

The LAM33L features the extended L configuration, with an overall module height of 1,670 mm.

Compared with the standard LAM33, this version provides an alternative mechanical layout while maintaining the same 3,300 mm laminated-glass capacity and core operating performance.

Integrated Operation with the CNC Cutting Machine

The movable bridge of the connected Vetromac CNC float glass cutting machine performs several functions during laminated-glass processing.

It acts as a positioning stop for accurate alignment of the glass sheet and also functions as the cutting bridge for laminated glass.

This integrated concept reduces the number of separate mechanical systems required and allows the CNC cutting machine and laminated-glass module to operate as one coordinated solution.

Automatic Vacuum Glass Holding System

The LAM33L uses an automatic vacuum holding system to secure the laminated glass during processing.

The contact surface is fully rubberised, providing a strong and stable grip through the suction cups while protecting the glass surface.

Automatic vacuum-control valves manage the holding system and help maintain reliable glass retention throughout the operating cycle.

Retractable Protective Balls

The working area incorporates retractable protective support balls that assist with the movement and positioning of the laminated-glass sheet.

The balls retract during the holding and cutting phase, allowing the glass to rest securely on the rubberised vacuum surface.

This system helps reduce friction during handling while supporting accurate positioning before processing.

Glass Floating System

The integrated Glass Floating System creates a cushion of air underneath the laminated-glass sheet.

This makes larger and heavier glass sheets easier to move and position across the working surface, reducing operator effort and supporting controlled handling.

Serviceable Modular Construction

The LAM33L is designed with accessible and individually replaceable components.

This service-oriented construction simplifies maintenance and allows worn or damaged components to be replaced without changing complete assemblies.

The modular design supports reduced downtime and lower long-term maintenance costs.

Designed for Larger Laminated Glass Formats

With a maximum laminated-glass length of 3,300 mm, the LAM33L is suitable for larger architectural and safety-glass applications.

Typical applications include façades, partitions, balustrades, doors, commercial glazing and custom laminated-glass products.

Production-Line Integration

The LAM33L has a machine footprint of approximately 3,890 × 3,655 mm and an adjustable working height from 890 to 960 mm.

Its dimensions support practical integration with compatible Vetromac CNC float glass cutting machines and existing glass-processing layouts.

Designed for Low Total Cost of Ownership

By combining float-glass and laminated-glass cutting within a coordinated system, the LAM33L can reduce the need for separate machinery, additional factory space and duplicated glass-handling equipment.

Its replaceable components, automatic vacuum system and modular construction support reliable operation and a low total cost of ownership throughout the machine’s lifecycle.
