In shower enclosure and glass door production, the edges and holes of the glass are the surfaces that the customer directly sees and touches. Hinge and handle holes must fit precisely, and the edges must be polished to a pristine shine. Deka's vertical grinding, drilling, and CNC machines make this finishing quality repeatable in mass production.
In insulated or facade glass, the edge is hidden within a frame. In shower enclosures, however, the edge is completely exposed, the user touches it every day, and even the smallest flaw results in a complaint. In this industry, polishing is not a choice, it's a necessity. Similarly, hinge, handle, and lock holes are fixed points that leave no room for adjustment during assembly. Because the glass will be tempered, all of these holes must be drilled in the correct location in a single installation before the furnace — there is no possibility of correction afterwards.
Typical sequence grinding/polishing → drilling and countersinking → washing → tempering This is how it works. If there are complex hole patterns and cross-sections, drilling and grinding can be combined in a single vertical CNC machining center.
FSR vertical CNC glass processing center: drilling, milling, grinding and shape cutting in a single machine. Low space requirement and fast preparation thanks to vertical positioning.
VGWM vertical glass cleaning machine: brush configuration for insulated and Low-E glass, demineralized water circuit and drying. Spotless surface for butyl adhesion.
DKDT vertical glass edging and grinding machine: edge preparation for pre-tempering, including band, flat, C-shaped, and profile edging. The number of spindles is configured according to your production line.
DD6 vertical glass drilling machine: drills and countersinks in flat, shaped, and laminated glass. Torque control reduces the risk of cracking and output chipping. Manufactured by Deka Makine.
