Large glass panels require controlled handling during facade installation and glass processing. A glazing robot combines vacuum suction, electric travel, and hydraulic lifting to move panels into position. YG Machinery offers five models with retracted load capacities from 300 kg to 800 kg. Electric tilting, suction frame rotation, and horizontal adjustment support glass positioning at installation sites. Model selection requires checking panel weight, lifting height, access width, and the required suction frame position.

Key Features of the Glazing Robot
Vacuum Suction and Panel Control
Each model uses Ø300 mm rubber suction cups. The 300 kg and 400 kg models have four cups, the 500 kg and 600 kg models have six, and the 800 kg model has eight.
The required suction arrangement depends on the panel’s weight, dimensions, surface condition, and weight distribution. Workers must inspect the glass and suction cups before lifting. Dust, moisture, coatings, or uneven contact can affect suction performance, so the glass surface and cup contact points require inspection before each operation.
Electric Tilting and Hydraulic Lifting
The suction frame tilts electrically through 180°. Hydraulic lifting reaches 3500–4500 mm, depending on the model. Horizontal base adjustment provides 100–150 mm of movement for final positioning.
During installation, the electric tilt changes the panel angle, while hydraulic lifting raises the glass to the required height. Horizontal adjustment allows small positioning corrections during alignment. The suction frame also supports 90° and 360° manual rotation. Electric assistance for rotation is available as an option.
Battery-Powered Travel
A 24V/1200W drive motor moves the machine across suitable working surfaces. Battery capacity ranges from 80Ah to 120Ah per 12V battery, depending on the model. Each model includes a smart charger.
Battery runtime varies with travel distance, lifting frequency, load, battery condition, and site conditions. Buyers planning full-shift operation should provide the expected daily working hours and travel requirements when discussing battery performance with the factory.
Glass Handling Robot Applications
A glass handling robot moves large panels between storage areas, processing stations, and installation positions. Its practical use depends on panel specifications and the layout of the worksite.
- Curtain wall installation: Electric tilting adjusts the glass angle, and hydraulic lifting raises panels toward the required installation height.
- Glass processing facilities: Electric travel moves panels between designated work areas and reduces repeated manual repositioning.
- Stone and metal panel handling: The machine can also handle marble, wood, and iron plates when their surfaces support vacuum suction and their weights remain within the applicable load limit.
Before selecting a model, measure entrance widths, travel routes, turning areas, and installation heights. Check the floor’s load-bearing capacity and surface condition as well. A machine with sufficient lifting capacity still requires enough clearance to enter the work area and maneuver with its load.
YG Machinery Factory Manufacturing Advantages
YG Machinery offers five models with different chassis dimensions, suction cup quantities, lifting heights, and battery capacities. This range gives buyers several configurations to consider when matching the machine to panel dimensions and installation conditions.
The selection process starts with the maximum panel weight and dimensions. These figures help determine the required load capacity and suction arrangement. The installation height establishes the lifting requirement, while entrance and route measurements help determine whether the chassis can access the work area. Buyers should also specify whether they require optional electric rotation.
For export orders, packing dimensions and gross weight support freight planning and container-space calculations. YG Machinery can discuss model specifications and export packing details during quotation. Before placing an order, request written confirmation of warranty terms, spare parts availability, and the expected delivery schedule.
FAQ
What is the maximum load capacity?
The YG-LD-800 handles up to 800 kg in the retracted position and 400 kg in the extended position. Other models have lower limits. Always follow the capacity specified for the machine’s actual working position.
Why does extended load capacity decrease?
Extending the suction frame changes the load position and increases the moment acting on the machine structure. As a result, the rated extended capacity is lower than the retracted capacity. Check the applicable limit before lifting or positioning a panel.
What floor conditions does the machine require?
The machine needs a firm, stable surface that can support its operating weight and the glass load. Inspect floor strength, slopes, level changes, and obstacles along the travel route. Assess the site before moving the machine with a panel attached.
How long does the battery last?
The available specifications state battery capacity but do not give a fixed runtime. Operating time varies with travel distance, lifting frequency, load, and battery condition. Ask the factory to assess expected runtime against your planned working schedule.
What material do the suction cups use?
The machine uses Ø300 mm rubber suction cups. Check cup condition and glass surface compatibility before each lifting task. Coated, textured, dusty, or uneven surfaces require careful assessment because they can affect suction performance.
Can the machine handle curtain wall glass?
Yes, it can handle curtain wall glass when panel weight, dimensions, lifting height, and suction conditions fall within the selected model’s specifications. The 180° electric tilt and hydraulic lifting system support panel positioning. The installation team must also check access, clearance, and the planned lifting procedure.
What packing information is available for sea freight?
Packing dimensions range from 2560×1030×1700 mm to 3000×1250×2300 mm across the listed models. Net and gross weights also vary by model. Provide the selected model number to obtain the corresponding packing details for freight planning.
What warranty does YG Machinery provide?
Yes, YG Machinery provides warranty support for its equipment. Contact the factory to confirm the warranty period, coverage, and service terms for your selected Glazing Robot model.
Are spare parts available?
Yes, replacement parts such as suction cups, batteries, and chargers can be discussed with the factory. Provide the model number and destination country to check parts availability and delivery arrangements.
