SANKEN Vertical Glass Edging Production Line
The SANKEN Vertical Glass Edging Production Line is designed for continuous four-side grinding and polishing of rectangular flat glass.
The line consists of four straight-line edging machines connected by three glass-turning machines or robotic transfer stations. Different configurations support flat-edge, multilevel miter-edge and bevel-edge processing.
The SK45-10PLC-4 configuration is designed for multilevel angled-edge processing, with a maximum glass size of 1830 × 2440 mm and a thickness range of 3–12 mm.
The production line can also be connected with an automatic glass loader, vertical glass washing machine and automatic unloading equipment for an integrated production workflow.
Vertical Glass Edging Production Line
The SANKEN Vertical Glass Edging Production Line is designed for continuous four-side grinding and polishing of rectangular flat glass. It connects four straight-line glass edging machines with three glass-turning machines or robotic transfer stations.
Depending on the selected equipment configuration, the line can process straight flat edges, multilevel miter edges or bevelled edges. Rough grinding, fine grinding and polishing are arranged within a connected production workflow.
The SANKEN catalogue lists three production line configurations: SKE-10PLC-4, SK45-10PLC-4 and SKB-10PLC-4. The SK45-10PLC-4 configuration is intended for multilevel angled-edge processing.
The complete line can be connected with automatic glass loading, vertical washing and automatic unloading equipment according to the factory's production requirements.

Production Line Components
Four Glass Edging Machines
The production line connects four glass edging machines for continuous processing of the four straight edges of rectangular glass.
The edging machines can be configured for flat-edge grinding, multilevel miter processing or straight-line bevelling according to the selected production line model.
Three Glass-Turning Stations
Three glass-turning machines or robotic transfer stations connect the edging stages. They allow the glass orientation to be changed between processing operations so that the next glass edge can enter the following machine.
PLC-Based Line Configuration
The SK45-10PLC-4 model uses a PLC-based equipment configuration. Control functions and production settings should be confirmed according to the final line specification.
Optional Production Line Integration
The line can be integrated with automatic glass loading, a vertical glass washing machine and automatic glass unloading equipment.
These additional equipment sections can be selected according to the planned factory layout and the required level of production automation.
Four-Side Glass Edging Process
The production line processes the four sides of rectangular glass through connected edging and transfer stages.
Each edging machine performs the configured grinding and polishing operations. Glass-turning stations transfer and reorient the workpiece between machines, supporting continuous four-side processing.
The finished glass can be transferred to subsequent washing or unloading equipment when those sections are included in the production line layout.
Available Production Line Configurations
SKE-10PLC-4 — Flat Edge Processing
The SKE-10PLC-4 production line is configured for straight flat-edge grinding and polishing. It combines four flat-edging machines with three glass-turning stations.
SK45-10PLC-4 — Multilevel Miter Edge Processing
The SK45-10PLC-4 production line is configured for grinding and polishing multilevel angled glass edges. Four SK45-type edging machines are connected through three glass-turning stations for continuous four-side processing.
This model has a catalogue-listed total power of 113 kW, overall dimensions of 42400 × 1500 × 2200 mm and a weight of 16900 kg.
SKB-10PLC-4 — Bevel Edge Processing
The SKB-10PLC-4 production line is configured for straight bevel-edge grinding and polishing. It connects four glass bevelling machines with three glass-turning stations.
The three configurations share the same catalogue-listed glass processing-size and thickness ranges but differ in edging functions, power requirements, overall line dimensions and weight.

Specifications are based on the SANKEN product catalogue. Final production line layout and auxiliary equipment should be confirmed according to the selected configuration.
Choosing the Right Vertical Edging Line
All three production line models share the same processing-size and glass-thickness ranges. The main selection factor is the required glass edge profile.
For Straight Flat Edges
SKE-10PLC-4 is intended for continuous straight flat-edge grinding and polishing.
For Multilevel Miter Edges
SK45-10PLC-4 is intended for continuous multilevel angled-edge grinding and polishing.
For Bevelled Edges
SKB-10PLC-4 is intended for continuous straight bevel-edge grinding and polishing.
Selection should also consider the total line length, equipment weight, electrical requirements, transfer-station configuration and planned factory layout.
Production Line Integration
The SANKEN catalogue describes the possibility of connecting the vertical edging line with additional automatic glass-processing equipment.
Automatic loading equipment can be added before the edging line to supply glass sheets. A vertical glass washing machine can be connected after edging, followed by automatic unloading equipment.
The final arrangement should be planned according to glass dimensions, equipment interfaces, available factory space and production requirements.
Processing Applications
The Vertical Glass Edging Production Line is designed for continuous processing of rectangular flat glass requiring four-side edge grinding and polishing.
Depending on the selected configuration, the line can be considered for architectural glass, furniture glass and other flat-glass products requiring straight flat edges, multilevel miter edges or bevelled edges.
The suitable line model should be selected according to the required edge profile, glass dimensions, thickness range and planned production workflow.
