Aviation Glass has embarked on a journey into the future by acquiring a cutting-edge lamination machine from Flexa!

Aviation Glass & Technology takes great pride in leading the way in aviation innovation by offering glass solutions for every aircraft application, transforming the air travel experience. Their product range includes standard mirrors, integrated lighting mirrors, colored mirrors, interactive solutions, AeroGlass lenses, screen covers, and more.

From revolutionary glass solutions to innovative technologies, Aviation Glass is reshaping aircraft interiors and establishing new benchmarks for comfort, safety, and design. "With our newest machine, we can optimize our laminated glass to elevate innovation in the aviation and glass industry," declares Mr. Jaap Wiersema, Managing Director of Specialist Aviation Glass.

The advantages of Aviation Glass with the state-of-the-art Flexa laminator called “GLASS 110 AVIATION” are multiple: automation, simplified processes reaching a wider audience, exceptional precision and accuracy, glass cleaning with the best devices in the market, and a high degree of repeatability in the manufacturing process. Flexa owner, Massimo Vettorazzo, personally oversaw the project and emphasized their delight in delivering a customized solution, combining team expertise and attention to detail.

The GLASS 110 AVIATION comprises three components: a motorized inlet table with a robust adjustable reference bar for centered work alignment, a laminator, and a motorized outlet table. The laminating unit integrates a contact cleaning element with pneumatic lifting systems, automatic raising during long pauses to prevent roll flattening, and an antistatic bar to reduce suspended microdust. It can handle glass sheets weighing up to 130 kg and measuring 2500 x 320 mm. The laminating rollers operating cold or at 60°C enable high-speed productivity with an advancement speed of 10 m/min. Additionally, the trimming unit for adjusting film width minimizes additional steps for operators.

Mr. Daan van den Brink, Operations Director, expressed his satisfaction with the new Flexa lamination machine, highlighting increased efficiency, reliability, and user-friendliness, "The collaboration between Aviation Glass and Flexa represents a significant step forward in advancing technology and innovation in the aviation industry".
