Laminated safety glass (LSG) consists of two or more glass panes that are permanently bonded with a tear-resistant, elastic interlayer – usually made of PVB. It is used wherever safety and structural stability are critical – for example, in architecture, automotive applications, or public infrastructure. Processing laminated glass requires maximum precision, clean edges, and reliable systems.

The systron lines – systron pro CNC Edge Processing Centre, systron proHD Processing Centre with Waterjet and systron proMD CNC Edge Processing, Milling & Drilling – offer intelligent, automated solutions for flat glass processing – particularly for coated glass and laminated safety glass. A central component of these lines is the patented water cushion system, which ensures stable processes, high efficiency, and consistent quality.

systron’s innovative water cushion system operates entirely without mechanical clamping. Instead, the tool is surrounded by a uniform water film – ideal for sensitive glass types such as coated or laminated glass. The key advantage: the tool remains fully accessible. This allows film residues, grinding dust, and glass particles to fall directly onto the machine base, from where they are pumped directly into the water treatment system and reliably removed.

Unlike partially or fully enclosed systems, where contaminants can build up and interfere with the process, systron offers a consistently open design: more freedom for the process, more stability in the result.

Another practical benefit: High material removal in just one pass.

This is especially time-saving when processing thick float or laminated glass – compared to machines that require multiple grinding cycles with minimal removal rates. The result: reduced processing time, lower energy consumption, and less wear.

The systron proHD and proMDH lines integrate another key technology for laminated glass processing: Automated waterjet cutting – developed specifically for the precise machining of complex shapes.

What previously required time-consuming manual cutting is now done fully automatically. Thanks to the cold-cutting nature of the waterjet, there is no thermal or mechanical stress on the glass layers or PVB interlayer. The cut is so fine and clean that no reworking is needed. Even complex geometries or highly contoured shapes are produced with excellent edge quality and maximum repeatability.

• Precise contour cuts – regardless of complexity or geometry
• No risk of breakage due to thermal stress
• Minimal waste and optimal material usage
• Clean cut edges
• High flexibility – ideal for custom architectural projects

Conclusion: Laminated glass processing with systron means maximum quality and ultimate flexibility – from automated production lines and efficient material removal to precise waterjet cutting for complex shapes.
