April 20, 2025 – LUOCKBAS, a leading innovator in glass processing equipment, today announced the launch of its latest SKX Series Intelligent Horizontal Straight Edge Grinding Machine for Special-shaped Glass. Designed to address long-standing pain points in special-shaped glass processing, this advanced equipment offers efficient, precise, and safe solutions, poised to drive a technological revolution in the glass manufacturing industry.
In the glass processing sector, edge grinding for special-shaped glass—such as escalator glass—has long posed challenges for enterprises. Traditional equipment options come with significant drawbacks: CNC machining centers, while capable of processing such glass, incur exorbitant costs; double edging machines are restricted by their design and unable to handle special-shaped edges; vertical straight edge machines, when used for large glass panels, carry risks of glass falling and feature inefficient manual loading/unloading processes, severely hampering productivity. Sensing these industry needs, LUOCKBAS invested heavily in R&D and successfully developed the SKX Series, a game-changing solution.
The SKX Series stands out with robust hardware specifications: measuring 9,100mm in length, it processes glass panels up to 4,200mm in length and as small as 150mm × 300mm, accommodating a wide range of glass sizes. Technologically, it incorporates the latest fully servo-controlled automatic feeding technology, enabling precise control over grinding volume to ensure consistent, ideal edge finishes. The full servo grinding volume distribution technology allows automatic adjustment of chamfer sizes: users can freely modify grinding volume and independently adjust top/bottom chamfers without affecting each other, enhancing flexibility and precision in processing.
In terms of processing capabilities, the machine handles glass thicknesses from 3mm to 25mm—including laminated glass—expanding its application to diverse scenarios. With a maximum single-side grinding allowance of 1–5mm, it meets varied processing requirements. Whether for jumbo special-shaped glass panels (which can be easily rotated for edge grinding with enhanced safety) or small-sized glass (supporting multi-station processing within its effective range), the SKX Series optimizes efficiency: large panels are processed safely and smoothly, while small panels are handled in parallel, significantly boosting output. Glass processed by this machine achieves a surface finish as bright and clear as fish tank glass, reflecting superior precision and (shine).
“With advanced technology, outstanding performance, and broad applicability, the SKX Series resolves the high-cost, low-efficiency, and safety issues plaguing traditional equipment,” said a LUOCKBAS spokesperson. “It marks a pivotal step toward smarter, more efficient glass processing, aligning with the industry’s evolving demands for accuracy and productivity.”
As the glass processing industry increasingly prioritizes precision and efficiency, the SKX Series is set to become a market favorite, empowering manufacturers with new growth opportunities. Driven by continuous technological innovation, LUOCKBAS remains committed to delivering breakthrough solutions that elevate the global glass equipment sector to new heights of quality and performance.
