Architectural & construction glass

Drilling and coating removal on large flat and coated glass.

Architectural glass arrives as large flat sheets, often coated, that need holes drilled before tempering and coating removed in selected areas. MOKE supplies inline drilling machines, complete drilling lines and a vertical film removal machine for these sheets.

Typical applications

Holes in untempered flat glass
Drilling of single- and double-coated glass
Coating removal on large-format coated glass
Photovoltaic and vacuum glass

Recommended machines

Inline drilling of untempered, single- and double-coated flat glass up to 2500 × 1500 mm, 3–10 mm thick, holes 2–65 mm.
