Practically perfect in every situation Bottero machining centres are extremely powerful and flexible machines that can produce many processing operations with precision and reliability, such as profiling, drilling, edge finishing, cutting and much more. The ease and intuitiveness of the software are a great strong point for these machines that can be used in any advanced glass factory. Bottero machining centres can operate both on glass and on stone, making their use even more flexible. Flat Glass Technology > Copyright © BOTTERO S.p.A.

The Range After the success of the first version, the Bottero Pratica CNC workcentres evolve with their new PLUS version. Both 3 and 4 axes versions are equipped with the new high performance pressurised spindle.

The standard version of the machine is able to perform the following operations on glass sheets: • Milling on the sheet with a rectilinear and/or curvilinear path. • Edging and radial polishing on a straight and/or curved path on the edge of the sheet. • Drilling and/or countersinking perpendicular to the surface of the sheet. • Writing and drawing on the top side of the sheet. By using optional aggregates the possibilities are expanded to: • Cutting with a straight diamond disc. • Cutting with a straight diamond disc angled at 45°. • Writing and drawing on the side surface of the sheet. • Straight...
