Battellino FP-6 Cup Wheel Glass Edger
The Battellino FP-6 Cup Wheel Glass Edger represents Italian glass fabrication engineering at its finest. This 6-spindle grinding system transforms raw edges through surface grinding into perfectly finished surfaces with remarkable consistency.
Glass edging requires exacting precision, and the Battellino FP-6 delivers with strategically positioned spindles and abrasive wheels that process glass edges with varying grit levels. From coarse grinding to the final polish, each station ensures edges meet the highest industry standards of smoothing and deburring.
Engineered for Superior Performance
The FP-6 Wheel Glass Edger stands out with several distinctive advantages for glass machining:
Rock-Solid Construction
Built with thick cast iron components and durable alloy parts, the Battellino FP-6 remains stable during operation at high RPM.
This eliminates vibration issues that plague lighter grinding machines, ensuring consistent edge quality while maintaining optimal flange and arbor stability.
Enhanced Conveyor System
The superb conveyor track design offers exceptional stability when moving glass through processing stations.
This system ensures glass pieces maintain proper positioning throughout the edging process, resulting in uniform edge quality and radius consistency even when working with varying thickness materials.
Remarkable Versatility
The FP-6 handles a wide range of dimensions with ease:
- Glass thicknesses up to 3/4″ (19mm), adjustable like a precision lathe.
- Small pieces down to 3-1/4″ × 3-1/4″ (83mm × 83mm).
- Large panels appropriate for architectural applications.
This versatility makes the Battellino FP-6 ideal for glass fabricators working with ceramics, silicon, or aluminium bonded materials.
Operator-Friendly Design
The FP-6 features straightforward controls that simplify operation, similar to modern angle grinders but at an industrial scale.
The intuitive interface allows quick adjustments for different glass types and edge specifications.
The machine provides easy access to grinding and polishing wheels, diamond grinding discs, and rotary brushes, reducing tooling maintenance time.
Glass Edging Excellence
The Battellino FP-6 Cup Wheel Glass Edger executes edge processing with remarkable efficiency:
- Initial Rough Grinding: Removes sharp edges with carbide tooling.
- Secondary Grinding: Refines the edge shape with finer grits.
- Diamond Wheel Polishing: Creates the final smooth surface with vitrified bonded wheels.
Each station features precision-engineered components similar to bench grinders but at an industrial scale. The result is exceptional edge quality comparable to lapping processes.
