CNC Horizontal Glass Drilling Machine (Off-line)
The SANKEN SKD-CNC Horizontal Glass Drilling Machine (Off-line) is designed for drilling holes in flat glass at a standalone processing station.
Servo motors control the X, Y and Z axes, while a PLC touch-screen system allows operators to set drilling positions and processing parameters. One- and two-group drilling spindle configurations are available, with upper and lower drilling heads.
Two models are available: SKD-CNC201 and SKD-CNC202.
Both models support glass up to 2000 × 800 mm, thicknesses of 3–12 mm and hole diameters of 5–35 mm. The specified drilling accuracy is ±0.20 mm.

Machine Functions
CNC Hole Positioning
Drilling positions are set through the control system. Servo-driven movements position the drilling assembly according to the required hole locations, reducing the need for repeated manual measurement and positioning.
Upper and Lower Drilling Heads
Each drilling spindle group uses upper and lower drilling heads. The drilling sequence is controlled according to the selected processing settings and glass thickness.
One- or Two-Group Spindle Configuration
The machine can be configured with one or two groups of drilling spindles. The appropriate arrangement depends on the required hole layout, processing cycle and machine configuration.
PLC Touch-Screen Operation
The PLC touch-screen interface provides access to drilling settings and machine operation. Operators can enter the required coordinates and prepare the machine for the selected workpiece.
Standalone Processing
The off-line configuration is intended for an independent glass drilling workstation. Glass is loaded and removed at the drilling station rather than transferred continuously through a connected production line.
Machine Structure and Control
Servo-Controlled X, Y and Z Axes
The three servo-controlled axes provide programmed movement for drilling position adjustment. This allows multiple hole locations to be processed according to the selected settings.
Glass Support and Positioning
The horizontal working area supports glass sheets during drilling. The workpiece must be positioned and secured according to the machine operating procedure before drilling begins.
Drilling Tool Selection
The machine supports drilling diameters from 5 to 35 mm. Suitable drilling tools are selected according to the required hole diameter and glass thickness.
Processing Settings
Hole positions, glass thickness and drilling parameters are set for the workpiece. The actual drilling cycle depends on the hole dimensions, processing conditions and machine configuration.
Working Sequence
The operator places the glass on the machine and prepares the drilling positions through the control system. After positioning, the drilling heads carry out the programmed operation.
Once the drilling operation is complete, the glass can be removed and transferred to the next production stage.

SKD-CNC201 and SKD-CNC202 Comparison
SKD-CNC201
The SKD-CNC201 supports glass up to 2000 × 800 mm and thicknesses from 3 to 12 mm. It has a total power rating of 8 kW, machine dimensions of 2400 × 2300 × 1800 mm and a weight of 1600 kg.
SKD-CNC202
The SKD-CNC202 has the same processing-size, thickness and drilling-diameter ranges. It has a total power rating of 13 kW, overall dimensions of 2950 × 2400 × 1800 mm and a weight of 2000 kg.
The final model and spindle-group configuration should be selected according to the required hole patterns, processing cycle and available installation space.
Off-line vs. On-line CNC Glass Drilling
Off-line Glass Drilling
The SKD-CNC201 and SKD-CNC202 are designed for independent glass drilling operations. Glass is loaded and removed at the standalone drilling station.
On-line Glass Drilling
For continuous production lines, the SKD-CNC-A Series is designed to connect with compatible glass edging, conveying and washing equipment.
See the CNC Horizontal Glass Drilling Machine (On-line) for automated production-line applications.
Applications
The SKD-CNC201 and SKD-CNC202 are suitable for drilling flat glass components that require programmed hole positioning at a standalone workstation.
Typical applications include furniture glass, architectural glass and other glass products requiring holes for fittings or assembly.
The required hole dimensions and positions should be confirmed against the glass drawing and selected drilling tools before processing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an off-line CNC horizontal glass drilling machine?
It is a CNC drilling machine designed to process flat glass at an independent workstation. The SKD-CNC201 and SKD-CNC202 use servo-controlled positioning and upper and lower drilling heads.
Which models are available?
Two models are available: SKD-CNC201 and SKD-CNC202.
What glass sizes can the machine process?
Both models support a maximum glass processing size of 2000 × 800 mm.
What glass thickness and drilling diameters are supported?
The supported glass thickness is 3–12 mm, with drilling diameters ranging from 5 to 35 mm.
How is the drilling position controlled?
Servo motors control the X, Y and Z axes. Drilling positions and operating settings are entered through the control system.
Does the machine use upper and lower drilling heads?
Yes. Each drilling spindle group has upper and lower drilling heads. One- and two-group configurations are available.
What is the specified drilling accuracy?
The specified drilling accuracy is ±0.20 mm for both models.
What is the difference between SKD-CNC201 and SKD-CNC202?
Both models have the same published glass processing range and drilling specifications. SKD-CNC201 is rated at 8 kW and weighs 1600 kg, while SKD-CNC202 is rated at 13 kW and weighs 2000 kg. The spindle configuration should be confirmed when selecting the machine.
When should I choose an on-line drilling machine instead?
An on-line drilling machine is more appropriate when drilling needs to be integrated with compatible automatic edging, conveying and washing equipment. The off-line SKD-CNC201 and SKD-CNC202 are intended for standalone drilling operations.
