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.

EVO, the platform that goes beyond cutting The EVO cutting platform is the top of the range Bottero cutting systems, offering exclusive performance and flexibility. Thanks to the option of equipping the machines with two additional tools besides the cutting tool, the EVO systems can be equipped, in addition to the low-e glass grinding, for example, for laser cutting or labelling of the processed piece. This option makes the EVO systems ideal for forming part of the automated and controlled production flow, which is typical in advanced glass factories and set forth in the “Industry 4.0” regulation....

Float Cutting EVO > Range The Range The EVO range stands out due to its modularity and versatility, thanks to which the float cutting tables can be totally configured according to specific customer requirements: from stand-alone cutting tables intended for small productions, up to intensive high automation level production systems, fully integrated with Low-E grinding devices and marking, and loading and breakout modules. Float Cutting EVO > Range 343 EVO Cutting, grinding and marking table fully integrated with manual or automatic loading and breakout modules, intended for applications requiring...

Flat Glass Technology > Copyright © BOTTERO S.p.A. Each constructive and functional feature of the EVO range is designed to ensure extreme processing precision and maximum productivity, at the service of each specific production requirement.

Float Cutting EVO > Features LMT Surface removal system on Low-E glass with 200 mm peripheral wheel and maximum working speed of 200 m/min, is the ideal solution for large productions of low-emissivity glass. The approach stroke of the grinding wheel and its path are also optimised for shape cutting, allowing to speed up the machine cycle time, also thanks to the automatic measurement system of the grinding wheel consumption. You can install grinding wheels with different thicknesses for different production needs, and the wheel is also able to remove any protective films (TPF). The total coverage...
