Ronnie: The Advanced Glassworker Robot Revolutionising Heavy Glass Handling

Introducing “Ronnie,” a cutting-edge glassworker robot from our sister company Reach. The GW 625-2 model is equipped with state-of-the-art features that enable it to handle hefty glass pieces with remarkable efficiency and precision. One of the most impressive capabilities is its ability to lift up to an astounding 625kg using its specialised suction cup attachment. This powerful feature makes the Glassworker GW 625-2 robot ideal solution for safely and effectively manoeuvring large and heavy glass panels, a task that would otherwise be challenging and hazardous to complete manually.

Seamless positioning for glass installations 

Beyond its lifting prowess, the Glassworker GW 625-2 robot offers a maximum vertical height of 3.6 metres, providing exceptional versatility in handling glass pieces of various sizes and dimensions. “Ronnie’s” hydraulic rotating head attachment further enhances its functionality, allowing the robot to rotate glass by 95 degrees in both directions, it also tilts 95 degrees forwards and 69 degrees backwards. Combined with a movable boom, this feature facilitates the seamless movement and precise positioning of heavy glass panels during glazing tasks.

The integration of these advanced features makes “Ronnie” an invaluable tool for glaziers and glass manufacturers, streamlining processes and significantly boosting productivity. By taking on the heavy lifting and ensuring the precise placement of glass pieces, this reduces the physical strain on engineers and minimises the risk of workplace accidents or injuries.

The Glassworker GW 625-2 robot represents a significant leap forward in automation technology for the glass industry. Its ability to effortlessly handle large and heavy glass pieces, combined with its precision and efficiency, makes it a valuable asset for Alpha Glazing, greatly enhancing the glazing process.

As robots like the Glassworker GW 625-2 continue to pave the way for increased productivity, improved safety, and superior quality in glass manufacturing and glazing operations, “Ronnie” is set to make a lasting impact on the industry for years to come.
