Lovati Fratelli and new GIANT-83

LOVATI Fratelli glass working machinery is known throughout the industry for excellence in engineering.




Founded in 1939, the LOVATI Fratelli Company has manufactured shape edging, bevelling and companion equipment for over 60 years, pioneering today’s automated glass fabrication production.

These machines are specifically designed to meet the stringent requirements of heavy production with superior performance and minimal maintenance, and they are sold all over the world.

For processing shaped glasses, LOVATI Fratelli manufactures a wide range of machines, which starts from simple manual and semiautomatic machines up to the most sophisticated CNC machines.

GIANT-83: The biggest CNC ever produced

Numerical control machine to grind and polish the bevel and the edge on shaped glasses with internal and external curves, straight line edges and mitred corners.

GIANT-83 has 5 axis with linear and circular interpolation of axis X, Y, Z, A for head rotation and B for spindle inclination. The A axis can rotate 360" in continuous mode.

In addition to grinding and polishing of the bevel and the edge, this machine can also perform holes, pin and screw inserts, internal and external milling and routing.

By using angular groups (optional) the machine can make sawing and grooving on shapes.

On the spindle it is possible to stack 1 bevelling wheel or 2 diamond wheels and 1 polishing wheel for grinding and polishing the edge.

More than one glass sheet can be positioned on the working table.

GIANT-83 can process glasses up to 8.300 x 3.210 mm!

The machine is equipped with a particularly strong and powerful head (14 kW) which can have a maximum inclination of 90 degrees (horizontal position).

This characteristic allows to grind the bevel and the flat edge on high thickness glass with any type of required inclination and by using cup wheels instead of peripheral wheels.

The high power of the spindle and the strength and rigidity of the machine whole structure allows to work glass or stone up to a maximum thickness of 100 mm.

The working table can be divided in two sections, each one equipped with 12 positions tool station, with automatic selection for tool withdrawal and deposit.
