In modern construction and glazing projects, handling large glass panels safely and precisely is a major challenge. That’s where the glass robot—also known as a glass handling robot—comes into play. This advanced lifting device combines suction technology, hydraulic arms, and intelligent controls to make glass transportation and installation faster, safer, and more efficient than ever before.
1. The suction cup frame flips 180° electrically. 2. The support plate automatically retracts. 3. Hydraulic arm lifts electrically. 4. The base of the whole machine moves 100-150mm horizontally.
Manual (2kinds)
1. The suction cup holder can be manually rotated 90 degrees (electrically powered optional). 2. The suction cup holder can be manually rotated 360 degrees (electrically powered optional).
Usages
Mainly used for the handling, movement, and installation of materials such as glass, marble, wood, iron plate, etc.
A glass robot is an electric or hydraulic-powered lifting machine designed specifically for moving and installing glass panels, curtain walls, and other large flat materials such as aluminum sheets or photovoltaic modules. Equipped with a vacuum suction system and multi-directional lifting arm, it can lift, tilt, and rotate heavy glass precisely while minimizing the risk of breakage or worker injury.
At YG Machinery, our glass robots feature:
High-performance vacuum suction cups with real-time pressure monitoring;
360° rotation and 90° tilting for flexible positioning;
Compact electric drive system suitable for indoor and outdoor use;
Remote control operation for improved accuracy and safety;
Rechargeable battery power for all-day performance.
Whether it’s for skyscraper glazing or workshop material handling, a glass robot offers the perfect balance between safety and productivity.
High-rise curtain wall installation and facade glazing;
Replacement of broken glass panels in existing buildings;
Glass window and door installation in residential and commercial projects;
Handling of solar panels, marble slabs, or aluminum sheets in factories;
Use in airports, shopping centers, and exhibition halls where precision and safety are crucial.
These machines are especially popular among contractors, glazing companies, and rental service providers who need a flexible and mobile lifting solution.
In 2025, YG Machinery delivered a 600 kg glass robot to a construction company in Florida, USA. The customer used it to install oversized insulated glass panels for a new office tower project. Previously, six workers were needed to manually align and lift each panel. With the YG glass robot, the same task was completed by only two operators—saving more than 50% in labor time while ensuring higher installation precision.
The customer reported that the robot’s wireless remote control, battery endurance of up to 8 hours, and smooth rotation system made it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. After the first project, they ordered an additional unit for their window fabrication plant.
