  JFS FLAT GLASS TEMPERING SYSTEMS
  • Each JFS Tempering System is a rugged, high quality, precision piece of equipment built to the highest standards using only the best available "off the shelf" components to insure the system will produce the finest quality flat glass for many years to come.

  • JFS Flat Glass Tempering Systems are built to our customers specific requirements. Although there are common sizes sold and used throughout the industry these "standard" sizes do not always meet individual requirements.

  • JFS has developed flexible design and manufacturing methods that allows all sizes to be "standard" and extremely cost competitive.

  • JFS systems are designed and built to be the most cost effective systems to purchase, operate and maintain.

  EXAMPLES OF "UNIQUE" STANDARD SYSTEMS
  • Vertical tempering system for producing high tolerance flat tempered glass vacuum plates used in the electronics industry.

  • 3 bay, 3.2 mm system with 2" (50.8 mm) on 2.5" (63.5") centers for tempering glass used in the aerospace and electronics industry.

  • 4 mm system for producing high tolerance plates used for proprietary process..

  • Continuous, indexing preheat system with precise positioning prior to a vacuum deposition system and a post tempering system.

  JFS ADVANTAGES

  JFS systems incorporate many features which are an additional cost or not available from other  manufacturers such as:

  • Variable frequency fan drives ( VFD). VFD fan drives provide the most precise air control and operating efficiency available. VFD fan drives are also offer the optimum control for heat strengthening and tempering thick glass. All fans have premium efficiency, inverter rated motors and are operated by a PLC controlled, variable speed frequency drive.

  • Advanced, temperature control system utilizing hot swappable zone temperature control modules and SCR power controllers for precise zone heat control. This system eliminates heat control failure due to a PLC or card failure. Coupled with high efficiency, fast response, long lasting, low cost heating elements, the system delivers unparalleled reliability, exceptional temperature control and reduced energy consumption.

  • Full feature, Windows® based graphic operating system including two rugged color graphic operator touch screens. JFS has no "proprietary" components, software, hardware or operating systems which means no costly program changes or upgrades. All software, operating programs, software keys and licensing are the customers property.

  • Precision roller bed with the highest quality ceramic rolls available.  

  • All JFS electric tempering systems are designed to accept Low "E" convection aspiration even if not initially required. This includes the required kW (many other systems only provide a minimum kW for tempering), software and furnace mounts for future installation. Should a Low "E" furnace be initially required, JFS supplies a properly sized compressor.

  • Solid state, computer controlled, uninterruptible

  • Complete spare parts package including rolls, heating elements and all critical electric and mechanical components.

  • A real no hassle warranty. From the first load roll to the last unload roll, JFS provides our customers with most advanced, full featured, cost effective, flat glass tempering system available anywhere and our customer service and support should be the industry standard. JFS constantly strives to provide the perfect system but in the real world problems and situations do occur. From our 24 hour on-line assistance and system monitoring to a "can you be here yesterday "service attitude”. JFS provides what you need, when you need it, to keep you running.
