Aardwolf Glazing Robot - AGR-400
Overview
The Aardwolf Glazing Robot AGR-400 is a compact self-propelled glass installation machine designed for curtain wall installation, indoor glass handling, and glazing projects in restricted-access areas. Its compact dimensions allow easy transportation through residential elevators, making it ideal for apartment renovations, high-rise buildings, commercial projects, and indoor glass installation applications.
Equipped with a vacuum suction system, powered lifting, tilting, rotation, and positioning functions, the AGR-400 helps improve installation safety, glass positioning accuracy, and workflow efficiency during façade and glazing operations. The machine is suitable for glazing contractors, façade installers, and construction professionals handling large glass panels and other smooth-surface materials.
How It Works
The AGR-400 uses vacuum suction cups to securely grip glass panels before lifting and positioning. Operators can control the machine directly from the rear standing platform or by using the wired remote control for movement, lifting, tilting, and alignment functions.
Its electric control system supports smooth automatic movements, helping reduce manual glass handling and improve installation stability on site.
