CRB-S™ Cylindrical Radius Bender System for Solar Parabolic Shapes
The Glasstech CRB-S is a highly productive, very accurate and economical system capable of producing the shape conformity and quality demanded by the solar power industry. This tempering/heat strengthening/low-stress glass system produces large (low-iron) glass for parabolic solar reflectors. The innovative, new CRB-S can produce bends up to 1900mm x 1700mm (74.8" x 67") and is precise enough to produce glass suitable for laminating.
