Tenon (Beijing) Equipment Co., Ltd., based in Beijing, China, has been a leading manufacturer in Asia for high-efficiency insulating glass production lines and glass related processing machines for 24 years. The latest products of the company are the automatic gas filling press TE-NGP, automatic sealing robot TSR/1 and horizontal seaming machine TWM.
Automatic gas filling press TE-NGPThe TE-NGP is an innovative machine that simplifies to the utmost the work of operators, enabling continuous and high-speed gas filled IG unit manufacturing without loss of production time.
This machine was presented for the first time at glasstec in 2010, and at China Glass in 2011, where it gained considerable attention from demanding manufacturers of IG units, who need to confirm certified high quality finished products.
TE-NGP is a fully equipped automatic volume controlled gas filling system for traditional IG lines, which automatically shows finished gas volume rates on a touch screen. It is the first fully automatic system from gas filling to volume check high-tech solutions to be used in the IG unit industry. Moreover, the touch screen on the press box has been programmed by Tenon technicians for simple and intuitive use by operators. The same operators can therefore automatically adjust the requested gas volume and success rate with the programmed volume control and high definition sensing system.
Further features include:
- excellent gas filling efficiency in continuous production;

TWM Horizontal Seaming Machine Thanks to considerable studies, experience in grinding, and market surveys, Tenon has developed the Automatic Horizontal Seaming Machine TWM with cup grinding wheels. This design is in response to the needs and demands of the market that experiences difficulties with Vertical Seaming Machines using Diamond Belts or V-wheels. The Automatic Horizontal Seaming Machine is used to pre-treat the edges of glass for tempering by grinding all four sides, along with corner dubbing. The TWM has excellent working speed, flexibility and with an efficiency that is up to 10 times higher than a standard double edger. The TWM automatically adjusts for different glass sizes and thicknesses, and can be connected directly in-line with a horizontal washing machine, and feeding into a tempering furnace.
Until now the market has had to deal with high operating costs caused by the expense of diamond belts, low processing efficiency of v-wheels, or intensive labour, The Tenon Automatic Horizontal Seaming Machine now solves these problems as it has excellent efficiency, grinding quality and long working life. Additionally, the TWM is the perfect solution for seaming low-E glass thanks to a vacuum conveyer belt system that ensures the low-E glass surface is not touched throughout the entire process.
The highly efficient Horizontal Seaming Machine for insulating glass and tempering glass was unveiled to the market for the first time at China Glass 2010 and glasstec 2010. This unique machine provides complete non-stop production of four-side glass seaming (grinding) using diamond flat wheel, the machine controlled by instinctive and user friendly touch screen interface with graphical representations of each machine function. Moreover, all processing is carried out by means of a highly effective and user-friendly suction vacuum device.
This machine is ideally suited for existing tempering furnaces with horizontal washers, providing perfect glass clearance without labour handling.
One of the most demanding processing demands for the Horizontal Seaming Machine TWM regards solar power panels and decorative panels requiring 3-millimetre seaming. Thanks to sensitive pneumatic control equipment and programming, Tenon engineering successfully responded to the demands of these special glasses with:
- excellent grinding efficiency with high speed up to 30m/min.;
- excellent lifetime of grinding wheel more than four months;
- balanced grinding condition through tension pressing (+-5mm);
- perfect low-E treatment.
Butyl extruder EK-2000One of very important and very critical machines for IGU manufacture is the Butyl Extruder, as IGU quality depends on the first sealing before second sealing by two component sealant extruders.
Tenon’s EK-2000 Butyl Extruder simplifies work to the utmost ensuring high speed, convenience, considerably accurate first sealing of IGU manufacturing, all without any loss of production time.
The EK-2000 Butyl extruder is equipped with the most innovative solutions accumulated during 23 years of Tenon technology and workshop experience. The machine is operated entirely by means of a PLC and touch screen, which automatically adjusts all functions of the machine. Moreover, the operator friendly touch screen checks all operating conditions perfectly, signalling – by means of an alarm – problems such as lack of air pressure, motor breakdown, time of Butyl change, out of range butyl temperature, and so on. These messages are highlighted on the touch screen and enable to understand and easily solve the anomaly presented by the machine.
Other features:
- automatic control of nozzle width in application of parallel pneumatic and hydraulic methods;
- easy and quick changeover of spacer width on consecutive operations;
- availability to select a function for curved spacers, can control operational working height and conveyor belt speed (five-step);
- possibility to control the length of butyl application and monitoring of current production quantity on colour touch screen.
Over its 23-year history, the Tenon Group has supplied more than 1,500 IG units worldwide and has 100 patented items.
Automatic sealing robot TSR/1Tenon’s automatic sealing robot TSR/1 carries out the final sealing of the insulating glass panels, providing accurate sealing of the angles and ensuring high operating speed by means of the V-belt transport system which has no contact point with the sealing point during sealing operations, minimizing panel contaminating, reducing friction on the glass sheets and allowing to process big and heavy units. The touch screen control panel replaces all the manual functions, thus providing user-friendly machine operations. The volume controlled hydraulic mixing metering system ensures the perfect filling of the external sealing of IG panels even at vary depths of seal and around corners. The linear suction device integrated into the back wall ensures non-slip transport.
An electronic depth monitor mounted on the nozzle ensures that the material volume is continuously calculated.
The automatic sealing robot TSR/1 also has the following characteristics:
- single head type;
- high production capacity up to 30m/min.;
- perfect finishing of corners and edges;
- accurate mixing rate;
- real time control by touch screen;
- precise transfer of glass using belt conveyor method;
- automatic adjustment of sealing amount by automatic detection of depth of spacer;
- self-diagnosis and alarm function;
- automatic control of “V Belt” conveyor according to glass thickness;
- precise transfer of glass with high-precision straight rails;
- prevention of polysulphide (silicon) staining using floating device by means of air blowers.
