2 novel new machines from CADRAM & R&R Sondermaschinen are providing the first automated solutions for applying decoration to window glass, using either lead or bevel-effect 3M Accentrim tape. The machines deliver substantial productivity increases compared with traditional hand-application processes, & offer greater flexibility of patterning thanks to a novel motion control system engineered by Baldor,which includes the option of automatically accepting drawings from CAD packages. The Decorex-2 machine is designed for applying lead tape, & speeds the creation of Georgian-style doors & windows. A lower-cost variant for laying Accentrim tape, Decorex-1, provides a standalone solution with its own HMI panel that allows operators to create simple criss-cross or frame-patterns, or accept patterns created industry-standard software.
