EPB-S™ External Press Bender System
The Glasstech EPB-S tempering/heat strengthening system was developed to produce very high quality bent parts economically, with an emphasis on creating highly accurate shapes while minimizing tooling costs. It’s ideal for the production of smaller, high volume spherical and parabolic shapes for CSP and CPV. EPB-S features fast cycle times and highly accurate perimeter and surface tolerances. The most productive EPB systems can produce 900 parts per hour.
