What to Expect at GlassBuild America 2025
Join Billco Manufacturing at Booth 22045 | November 4-6 | Orlando, FL
GlassBuild American 2025 is less than a month away, and Billco Manufacturing is excited showcase the latest in glass fabrication technology. From cutting-edge automation to precision handling and advanced cutting systems, this year’s exhibit highlights how we continue to push the boundaries of innovation in glass manufacturing.
Here’s a look at what you can expect when you visit Booth 22045 this year in Orlando.
Kawasaki x Billco Robotic Arm— Future of Hands-Free Fabrication
One of our headline features for 2025 is the Kawasaki x Billco Robotic Arm. This robotic system is engineered to deliver high precision and adaptability, allowing it to manage a wide range of tasks across your fabrication line, from loading and unloading to complex orientation changes.
The robot seamlessly transfers glass lites between horizontal and vertical positions, enabling smooth and controlled reorientation for downstream processes. It also supports vertical-to-vertical transfers between upright stations while maintaining exact alignment and edge integrity. Integrated rotation units allow for precise panel rotation, which is essential for accurate alignment or integration with plant-specific workflows.
The system is fully customizable to match your plant’s layout, production goals, and space limitations. Whether incorporated into an existing line or designed as part of a new installation, the Kawasaki x Billco Robotic Arm offers scalable automation with high-speed, high-accuracy motion control. Its compact footprint also makes it ideal for facilities where floor space is at a premium.
Available as a stand-alone unit, integrated with existing equipment, or as part of a fully autonomous cell, this robot brings full automation, traceability, and production monitoring to your operation, helping you reduce labor strain, improve throughput, and meet modern manufacturing demands with confidence.
Upgraded Ultra Series Cutting System— Built for Accuracy
Our Ultra Series Cutting System has undergone several enhancements to improve performance, reliability, and cut quality. Key upgrades include an automatic tool changer for seamless transitions between cutting operations and an integrated oil recovery system that helps maintain clean and consistent cuts.
In addition, the cutting table now features Kevlar felt for improved durability, while a new laser-cut bridge ensures greater speed and precision during the final stage of the cutting process. These upgrades are aimed at reducing downtime, minimizing waste, and maximizing overall efficiency.
Our team will be available at Booth 22045 to discuss how these upgrades can help your plant and provide personalized consultations.
Enhanced Crane Handling System— Smarter, More Precise
Billco’s Crane Handling System has also undergone key enhancements that make it more powerful and intelligent than ever before. The new truss bridge design provides greater structural support, while absolute positioning technology ensures precise and repeatable movement throughout the handling process.
To improve energy efficiency and system reliability, the crane now features busbar power delivery. Additionally, the introduction of a rack map system enables automated decision-making, allowing the crane to work more efficiently within a fully integrated production environment.
These enhancements make the crane ideal for manufacturers looking to upgrade their handling systems or incorporate smarter automation into their facility.
