Windows and Glazing Manufacturing
Sealant application and panel handling for window and glazed panel production
Industry Pain Points
What Makes This Sector Difficult to Automate
Derived from Delkotech's published equipment range, which includes CNC silicon window machines for glass and isolating applications.
The seal is the product
A window is sold on performance that depends entirely on a bead nobody can inspect once the unit is closed.
Hand applied bead varies
Size, continuity and position all change with operator speed and fatigue, and every variation is a potential leak path.
Large panels do not fit
The largest and most valuable panels are exactly the ones a standard sealing table cannot take.
Material overuse
Applying a generous bead as insurance is expensive across a year of production.
What Customers Need
Requirements We Design Against
- Programmed bead paths rather than hand application
- Delivery coordinated with path speed so section holds through corners
- Tables sized to your largest panel format
- Non marking supports for finished glass
- Recipes stored per format so changeover is an operator action
Typical Applications
Where Delkotech Equipment Goes In
Perimeter sealing
Programmed bead around insulating glass and glazed panel assemblies.
Isolating material placement
Applying isolating material along a programmed perimeter path.
Large format handling
Tables and gantries sized to panels a standard machine will not accept.
Mixed format production
Formats stored as programs and selected at the HMI.
Delivery Capability
What a Project With Us Looks Like
Application study
Your part, operation, rate and floor space are recorded from the real production, not from a nominal case.
Concept and layout
A machine concept with the layout, cycle estimate and safety approach, priced against a defined scope.
Design
Mechanical, electrical, controls and safety designed together, with the sequence of operation written before any code.
Build and try out
Manufactured at Vaughan, then dry cycled, run with your parts and run to rate before it ships.
Installation and handover
Installed, interfaced and commissioned, with operator and maintenance training and the as built documentation.

Windows and Glazing Manufacturing Questions
Do you have experience in windows and glazing manufacturing?
Derived from Delkotech's published equipment range, which includes CNC silicon window machines for glass and isolating applications. What we build for this sector is shown in the equipment and projects linked from this page.
Which machine should we start with?
Start from the operation that is costing you, not from the machine type. The four scenarios on this page are the ones that come up most often in this sector.
Can equipment be specified for our environment?
Yes. Materials, finishes, contact surfaces and access are specified at design review against the environment the machine will live in rather than assumed from general industrial practice.
Will the machine produce records we can show a customer?
Where the process needs evidence, counts, process values and test results can be recorded and made available to your plant systems. The data contract is agreed with your IT group before software is written.
What do you need to quote a project for us?
Part drawings and real samples, the operation, the rate, the floor space and the equipment either side. Email [email protected] and we will come back with a concept.
