Extended Laminated Glass Cutting Technology

The Vetromac LAM28L is a high-technology laminated glass cutting module developed for combination with Vetromac CNC float glass cutting machines.

Once integrated with the CNC cutting table, the LAM28L creates an all-in-one glass cutting system capable of processing both monolithic float glass and laminated glass within a coordinated production area.

This configuration allows professional glass processors to extend their production capability without installing a completely separate laminated-glass cutting line.

Laminated Glass Processing Capacity

The LAM28L processes laminated glass compositions ranging from 3+3 mm to 8+8 mm.

It supports glass lengths up to 2,750 mm and provides positioning accuracy of ±0.5 mm.

With a maximum operating speed of 160 m/min, the module combines controlled glass handling with efficient industrial production.

Extended L Configuration

The LAM28L features an extended vertical configuration with an overall module height of 1,670 mm.

Compared with the standard LAM28, the L version provides an alternative machine configuration while maintaining the same laminated-glass processing capacity, working dimensions and 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 glass alignment 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.

Vacuum Glass Holding System

The LAM28L uses a vacuum holding system to secure the laminated glass during the cutting process.

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 the movement and positioning of the laminated-glass sheet.

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

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

Glass Floating System

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

This allows heavier laminated glass to be moved and positioned more easily across the working surface, reducing operator effort and supporting controlled handling.

Serviceable Modular Construction

The LAM28L 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.

Compact Production Integration

The LAM28L has a machine footprint of approximately 3,100 × 2,865 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 in a single coordinated system, the LAM28L can reduce the need for separate machinery, additional factory space and duplicated handling equipment.

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