Production Process

• 

• Phase 1

  Cutting 

  Two layers of glass are prepared for each windscreen; they will be fused together in a later phase. 

• Phase 2

  Bending 

  The precise application of heat from our furnaces adds that distinctive curve to the glass. A robot checks whether each windscreen is bent to the correct shape, assuring the prerequisites for successful calibration and smooth functionality of the system.

• Phase 3

  Lamination

  On our lamination lines, resin is used to bond the two layers of glass together. This gives the windscreen more structural integrity, making it less likely to shatter in the event of an impact. It also allows the glass to have various functionalities, like noise cancellation, ambient lighting or dimmable glazing. We run strict quality controls including resistance and optical measurements, in order to ensure perfect performance. Finally, using artificial vision technology, the glass is checked, before a robot places required accessories, like profiles and sensors, onto it.

• Phase4

  Inspection & Packaging

  All of our windscreens undergo a full inspection before being packed into crates and distributed. An automatic trimming line ensures the quality of the glass edge, while any potential cosmetic defects are detected with the help of special illuminated screens.
