As a global leader in flat glass and hollow glass processing technology, we have been helping to shape one of the most beautiful and useful materials in the world for over 60 years. Its unique qualities, combined with the passion for technology and innovation, guide us in seeking for newer and more effective solutions to improve and expand its use.

BKM, the art of cutting glass Designed for glassmakers who want to evolve their business by adopting automated and flexible cutting systems, BKM tables offer all the quality and simple use that is typical in Bottero products. Thanks to the shared single development platform, common to all cutting systems, BKM tables use technological solutions and components that are also adopted on top of the range Bottero systems, thereby ensuring uncompromising performance and reliability. BKM cutting systems can make linear cuts and shapes on sheets with a thickness of up to 19 mm, thereby offering the possibility...

The Range The BKM cutting systems are available both in the stand-alone version, for loading, cutting and breakout of the material on the panel, and in the fixed structure version for high productivity in-line integration. All models can be equipped with a wide range of accessories. 343 BKM Loading, cutting, grinding, marking and breakout table intended for the wider range of applications. The 343 BKM is a fixed cutting table with betls and it is available with air cushion with quick closing (option), automatic selection of cutting pressures, Shape Scanner + Scan Cad, optimiser on the machine...
