Exporting a high percentage of products worldwide,
we are also able to guarantee a serious and competent
Network of technicians affiliated with the parent company.
The speed of replacing a part or tool,
when production cannot be stopped, fundamental.
For this at our headquarters we have an area
of more than 1,000 m2 designated for storage of parts
spare of higher consumption.
Our proposal of maintenance contracts includes only and exclusively the work really necessary to keep your machine in top condition, and will offer you clear and defined prices: no surprises. Plus you will have original Lattuada spare parts at an advantageous price and the expertise and professionalism of specialized technicians. Worry no more about deadlines: we will remind you when check-up time comes!
Made according to our in-house design and specifically designed to ensure proper transmission of movement to the incoming and outgoing arm belts, and thus smooth and precise sliding when loading and unloading glass. Essential for keeping the belts in excellent condition and thus extending their service life.
Designed ad-hoc for their application: the design, special inner coating and profile are engineered to achieve optimal sliding and extremely precise movement. Available in different types to ensure an optimal solution for any glass thickness.
The proposal is well differentiated to ensure the best sliding of both small pieces and jumbo slabs with heavy thicknesses, even inaccurately cut!
All the tools we use for our machines are made according to our detailed specifications, the result of years of testing, study, experience and continuous improvement. Suitable for any type of machining: from monolithic to laminated with any type of interlayer (PVB, EVA, resins, etc.). Thanks to the special hooks designed in-house, The replacement of grinding wheels is easy to perform and very fast: 60 seconds per wheel!
Fully designed and customized by our in-house technical department to best fit each of our models. Their replacement is very simple, fast and low cost. They are essential to protect the most delicate components, such as sensors, and keep the machine clean, preventing water and residual substances from processing from escaping from the inside of the machine. A clean machine also means a clean and therefore safer working environment for operators.
We have always collaborated with leading sensor and automation companies to supply these types of components, which are essential for precise machine operation and thus avoid unwanted downtime. Working with glass means working with water, which is why all the sensors mounted on our machines have another degree of water protection, from IP55 to IP67 depending on the position in which they are installed.
They represent the peculiarity of our glass sheet transport system. Applied to the dowel guides, they can be easily and cost-effectively replaced: the single and simple replacement of the steel belts makes it possible to refurbish an entire conveyor wagon. Thanks to steel belts, it is possible to multiply the life of the wagons; it is no coincidence that there are Lattuada grinding machines that have worked for more than 2,000,000 meters!
The compressed air system is important to ensure smooth and precise movement of spindles, and therefore it is necessary to keep it in perfect working order. Therefore, our choice for pneumatics has turned to the best products, which offer the highest precision and reliability over time.
A plant in excellent condition allows for precise pressure regulation of the polishing wheels and thus lower consumption of the wheels and of the compressed air itself, thereby lowering operating costs.
Lubrication is critical for proper machine operation
and essential is to use only the products we recommend. Only these greases and oils are able to guarantee the best performance, allowing the machine to work in optimal conditions. The lubrication of the guides is totally automatic, thanks to a pneumatic pump and special metering valves. Remember that the use of products that are not equal or equivalent to those recommended may void the warranty.
Because of the fundamental role played by water for tool cooling, we decided not to use ordinary plastic tubes, but instead to design special copper tubes as a guarantee of greater strength and therefore cleanliness, long life and more precise positioning. In order to increase the flow of water on the rotating grinding wheels, the diameter of the tubes was increased to 12 mm and each of them was designed to achieve a more precise directionality, different depending on the type of tool and the position in which it is mounted. Since the tank is installed at the front of the spindle tank, the entire grinding wheel cooling system is easily accessible and the replacement and/or cleaning of the tubes is extremely simple and easy.
All our machines mount the same spindles: a guarantee of strength, reliability and savings on maintenance and spare parts. The spindles are the heart of the mechanics of our models and are one of the main details that distinguish us from our competitors. The system we have designed for transmitting motion to the spindles is different and unique. No motor spindles, but spindles to which motion is transmitted via pulleys and toothed belts connected to motors. The advantages are many: less consumption of the spindle rubbers due to the fact that the spindles do not move, less vibration, simple and more precise pressure regulation.
Along with our machines we provide a short handout, nicely named ‘Happy Customer,’ designed as an additional tool to the classic instruction manual that can be of help to operators who will be using the machine. A few laminated pages to keep handy at all times with the following basic information: table of flat edge and bevel machining, machining limits and constraints, grinding wheel adjustment, list of tools mounted on the machine and a check-list of the main maintenance activities to be performed with their periodicity. Below is an example of this check-list for a typical grinding machine of ours ... simple right?
