September 17th to the 19th at booth 3559, visitors can learn all about the latest newcomer for glass handling: The TASS speed stacker, with innovative dual arm kinematics, efficiently handles small glass formats. Especially in the North American market, smaller formats are produced directly on the line at the Cold End. The TASS facilitates precise destacking at the end of the glass line. He is the smooth and innovative turbo amongst the glass stacking systems from Grenzebach. The capability to quickly pick up glass sheets from the air as well as tin side gives the high speed stacker its name: TASS - Tin-Air-Speed-Stacker.
