Glass & Building Applications
The VX Stand-Alone is specifically designed for:
- Flat glass
- Insulating glass units (IGU)
- Single-pane glass
- Mirrors
- Glass panels and windows
It provides effective protection of glass surfaces against common hazards in construction or industrial environments, including:
- Cement or plaster splashes
- Paint marks
- Silicone or adhesive residues
- Grinding or welding sparks
- Dust and minor scratches
- Fingerprints and dirt
Glass edges remain clear, maintaining a free peripheral margin to facilitate assembly and installation operations."
WALCO® Vertical Technology
Automatic calculation of the area to be protected is based on insulating glass dimensions, ensuring repeatable and industrially compliant film application.
The VX Stand-Alone integrates the patented WALCO® vertical glass film application technology, enabling precise and reliable double-sided lamination.
This advanced architecture offers:
- Simultaneous application of films on both glass faces, ensuring uniform and controlled coverage
- Patented WALCO® rotary blade for automatic protective film cutting, meeting industrial standards
- Patented electrostatic holding and positioning system for perfect film application across the entire surface
- Automatic calculation of the area to protect based on insulating glass dimensions, guaranteeing repeatable and compliant application
- Flexible and customizable process, applying 1 to 5 film strips from left to right or right to left, depending on roll size and glass dimensions
- Adjustable peripheral margin, leaving a free edge for easy assembly and installation
- Optimized mechanical design, ensuring stability, consistency, and reliability even on the most demanding production lines
- Custom integration into existing production lines, compatible with industrial and automated constraints
This system guarantees uniform, repeatable, and reliable application of process and protective films with precision, seamless integration into automated production lines, maximizing productivity, safety, and quality in industrial glass environments.
Industrial Performance
Designed for intensive use, the VX Stand-Alone delivers high performance:
- Up to 400 insulating glass units protected in 8 hours
- Single-pass film application
- Optimized cycle time of 30 seconds (average for 1 m², double-sided application)
This productivity enables glass manufacturers to meet production rates while ensuring clean, protected glass ready for integration or on-site delivery.
Compliance and Safety
The VX Stand-Alone is designed in accordance with the European Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and UL standards for the U.S. market, ensuring a high level of operator safety and full regulatory compliance. All components also meet CE and UL requirements.
