UNIX PROFESSIONAL
The Ashton Industrial UNIX PROFESSIONAL is a manual glass seaming (arrissing) machine designed for precision edge finishing of flat glass panels in smaller-scale or specialist glass processing operations.
High-performance manual glass seaming system.
Summary
The UNIX PROFESSIONAL is engineered for operators who require maximum control and flexibility during the glass seaming process. Unlike fully automated systems, it is manually operated, allowing precise adjustment of pressure, speed, and finishing quality. It is commonly used for bespoke production, and low-to-medium volume glass processing where automation is not essential.
