Automated Glassworking Lathes:

Litton Engineering has pioneered the development of machine controls for the glass working lathe. By introducing computer controls to the glassworking process consistent accuracy in a repeated application can be achieved and in less time than if it had been performed manually.

The Litton Automated Glass Lathe offers computer control of the firecarriage and tailstock travel, the gas delivery, spindle pressure and vacuum systems, chucking, tooling and the spindle motor. Many configurations and levels of automation are possible, from semi-automated to fully automated.

Litton pioneered the fully automated lathe with the 9665 controller, a full multitasking motor control system in 1977. Today Litton has developed the GlassMaker System. GlassMaker is comprised of multiprocessors which combined with the GlassMaker software comprise a fully automated system unequaled in the glassblowing industry
