Productive, fast, precise
Francesca is a Numerical Control (NC) machining centre for glass machining operations which can drill, countersink and mill flat glass sheets with thicknesses from 3 to 25 mm. The Francesca is dedicated to operators in the building, outdoor and furniture sectors, as well as producers of balustrades, facades, doors and partition walls.
Watch the Technology Day dedicated to Francesca and find out more about the technical features of the entire range alongside Giovanni Battista Pizzoferrato and Paolo Gaudenzi, Technology Applications Italy Market.
Francesca is a machine that offers high levels of productivity, developed primarily for boring and milling processes. It is a highly flexible machine, enabling operations to be carried out on all types of sheets, and on sheets of all shapes, provided they have at least one straight side. Francesca is a very reliable machine equipped with cutting-edge technological solutions, and is robust and solid.
Francesca’s render it a highly flexible technology which is suitable for single-batch operators: when altering the machining code, no manual intervention is required to change the machine set-up. As a result, it is also particularly suitable for those working with just-in-time production.
What are the key characteristics of Francesca?
Francesca can machine sheets of any shape, with the only restriction being that they must have one straight side. This technology enables the processing of both small and large glass sheets with extremely easy loading/unloading, even in confined spaces. Courtesy of the automatic and intelligent machine tooling system for different machining operations, Francesca guarantees fast tool changes with no need for operator intervention.
“With Francesca, we are seeking to “revolutionise” your production. With a fully automated working cycle, waterjet cutting and 1-second tool changeover, this Biesse technology for processing flat glass represents a further step towards perfection,” explains Giovanni Battista Pizzoferrato, Technology Applications Italy Market.
