\u201cWe decided to extend the lifetime of our Bystronic (now Glaston) automotive glass cutting equipment with a Glaston CNC96 upgrade kit and ensure that we can continue to get spare parts,\u201d says Matti S\u00e4yn\u00e4v\u00e4j\u00e4rvi, Technical Services Group Leader, Pilkington Automotive Finland Oy, Laitila plant.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Established in 1949, Pilkington Automotive Finland delivers high-quality glass windshields that improve the safety, efficiency and comfort of the vehicle operators and passengers. With two plants in Finland, the company works closely with its customers to develop new and innovative products for their chosen markets. The company\u2019s Laitila plant in southwestern Finland specializes in laminated windshields primarily for buses and special transport vehicles, such as offroad tractors and harvesters.

In 2006, Pilkington Automotive Finland became part of the Japanese NSG Group, one of the world\u2019s leading manufacturers of glass and glass products. NSG Group manufactures glass products and solutions under the Pilkington brand for the world\u2019s leading car manufacturers, the construction industry and the technical market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Significantly lengthening old line life<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In autumn 2023, the Laitila plant decided to upgrade its nearly 30-year-old glass cutting line with a Glaston CNC96 retrofit<\/a>. The main driver for the decision was that many of the components were reaching the end of their life, and replacements would no longer be available in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe investment in Glaston\u2019s CNC96 upgrade was the best way to extend the lifetime of our equipment and ensure uninterrupted processing performance,\u201d says Eerik Meri\u00f6, Automation Engineer at the Laitila plant, who led the CNC96 update project for Pilkington Automotive Finland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn fact, this upgrade was much cheaper than buying a completely new line. And it will give us significantly longer life for our equipment,\u201d Matti adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running ahead of schedule<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The upgrade was commissioned in August 2024 when the factory underwent a total maintenance shutdown for a few weeks. \u201cSuch a total production shutdown is very rare for our Laitila plant, but it gave us sufficient time to carry out this particular upgrade project,\u201d Matti says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They planned one week for installation and one week for testing. Everything proceeded on time without any delays. Production was even possible before expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easier for operators<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnce the upgrade commissioning was completed, running the line went better for our operators than I expected,\u201d Eerik says. \u201cThe new interface was easy to use and simpler than the earlier one. By working with Glaston closely, our operators quickly learned how to run the upgraded machine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The processed glass quality has remained at the same high level as before. The one real noticeable difference is that the machine is now more reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd this is one of the main reasons we wanted to make this upgrade,\u201d Matti says. \u201cAnother reason was to help our operators. Now, it is easier for them to run the line.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnother benefit to the new interface is that we can operate several devices from the same computer. With the old system, we had different user interfaces for the cutting machine and the breaking machine. Now, we can easily control these processes with just one interface,\u201d Eerik says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
