Tristar Glass, a leading architectural glass manufacturer in the U.S., has strengthened its production capacity at its Dallas plant by acquiring smart machinery from Spanish manufacturer, Turomas. This strategic partnership, driven by high demand and the need to improve operational efficiency, includes the installation of two RUBI 517C cutting tables and an SR-07 storage system.
In a high-demand environment, the company identified the need to improve its production capacity and operational efficiency. Therefore, during its expansion phase at the Dallas facility, Tristar Glass decided to invest in smart machinery for the storage, loading and cutting of glass from the Spanish manufacturer.
In collaboration with IGE, Turomas’ U.S. distributor, a detailed study of the customer’s specific needs was conducted and a customized project was developed to meet all of Tristar Glass’ requirements.
Tristar Glass has acquired two RUBI 517C cutting tables equipped with linear motors and ACR low-e coating removal system, specially designed to work with Easypro and TPF protective coatings. To feed these tables, an SR-07 rack shuttle storage system with 55 positions has been installed, capable of storing up to 880 tons of glass. In addition, it has an external reloading position that makes it possible to reload the warehouse without stopping the loading cycle.
With the installation of the TUROMAS cutting and storage machinery, Tristar Glass is prepared to face future challenges and continue its expansion by demonstrating that innovation and quality are essential to remain at the forefront of the glass industry.
