A larger exhibition stand, a walk-in machine tower and the systron proMD as the technological centrepiece: At glasstec 2026 in Düsseldorf, systron gave visitors a unique opportunity to explore CNC glass processing technology from the inside. The result was a consistently busy stand and numerous discussions about specific customer projects.
At the heart of systron’s exhibition was the systron proMD glass processing centre with waterjet, the all-in-one CNC processing centre for glass and ceramics. A particular highlight was the full-scale, walk-in machine tower, allowing visitors to step inside and gain a first-hand understanding of the machine’s design, components and processing technology.
“I have never been able to explain the machine as well as I could here,” said Thomas Haan, Head of Sales at systron.
The systron proMD combines seaming, grinding, polishing, drilling, countersinking and milling in a single clamping operation, with optional waterjet cutting.
Separate front and rear spindles enable double-sided glass processing without reclamping. This eliminates additional handling steps, reduces interruptions and shortens production workflows.
One of the key technologies behind the systron proMD is the patented systron water cushion with integrated force measurement. It enables contact-free guidance of sensitive glass surfaces during processing, reduces vibrations and contributes to effective tool cooling.
Additional technical features of the systron proMD include:
Beyond glass, the systron proMD also supports versatile CNC processing of ceramics, including mitre cuts, rebate milling and complex contours.
Automation was another major focus at glasstec 2026. Discussions centred on how material handling, machine loading and CNC processing can be integrated into efficient, continuous production workflows.
systron offers a range of automation solutions designed to meet different production requirements:
By combining CNC processing with automated material handling, manufacturers can reduce manual intervention, simplify transfer processes and improve material flow throughout production.
In addition to the systron proMD, the machine portfolio includes the systron pro CNC edge processing centre, the systron esX vertical seaming and grinding machine, as well as systron WM washing and drying stations.
The response to systron’s exhibition stand was reflected not only in visitor numbers but also in the quality of technical discussions.
Although systron had doubled the number of meeting tables compared to its previous glasstec appearance, they remained consistently occupied throughout all four exhibition days.
Many visitors arrived with clearly defined requirements and specific project plans. Discussions focused on new processing capabilities, the integration of automation solutions and opportunities to further develop existing production processes.
“Beyond the strong visitor turnout, what impressed us most was the quality of the discussions. Many visitors arrived with specific projects and clearly defined requirements. This reinforces our commitment to continuously developing high-performance processing technology and practical automation solutions,”
said Franz Schachner, Managing Director of systron.
After Düsseldorf, systron’s international trade show season continues. From November 21–24, 2026, systron will also be represented at Glass Eurasia in Istanbul.
