As the demand for building energy conservation and high-end manufacturing continues to escalate, insulating glass is a core material for building energy conservation. The performance and stability of its production equipment directly determine the quality and production efficiency of finished products. The market has increasingly stringent process requirements for insulating glass sealing lines.
As a full-link service provider in the field of industrial automation, Shanghai Huitong Automation relies on its profound technological accumulation and resource advantages to provide customized solutions for equipment manufacturers.
Note: The program parameters described in this article are based on actual measurements under specific working conditions. Actual applications need to be adjusted based on on-site production needs. Shanghai Huitong Automation does not bear the adaptation risk caused by differences in working conditions.
Relying on the hard-core trust endorsement of listing and strategic capital.
Shanghai Huitong Automation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newstar Group (002527), a company listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Relying on Newstar’s more than 20 years of motion control technology accumulation, it has a solid technical foundation in the field of automation.
In 2025, Shanghai Huitong Automation received a strategic investment from Haier Group and was connected to Haier’s Kaos digital operation system. The supply chain and service efficiency have been significantly improved, and it can better respond to customers’ large-scale procurement and service needs.
The company’s registered capital is 53.4884 million yuan, with a paid-in ratio of 100%, stable cash flow, and sufficient financial strength to ensure inventory reserves and business expansion, providing reliable support for long-term cooperation with customers.
A one-stop automated product matrix authorized by all categories.
As the first agent and largest partner of Panasonic Servo in mainland China, Shanghai Huitong Automation has the official first-level authorization for Panasonic’s full range of products, covering A6, A6B, A6V, A7, E7 and other series of servo motors and drives, as well as various types of sensors such as photoelectric, optical fiber, color mark, PLC, motion controller and other control products, meeting customers’ one-stop purchasing needs for core components of motion control.
In the field of reducers, Shanghai Huitong Automation has multiple brand authorizations such as SHIMPO, NEUGART, and APEX, covering various types such as planetary, harmonic, and RV reducers, adapting to automation scenarios with different load and accuracy requirements.
In terms of transmission and actuators, the company is an agent for MIKI PULLEY couplings, brakes, clutches, and NACHI bearings. It also provides servo electric cylinders, linear modules, dust-free drag chains and other ancillary products to build a complete automated transmission system.
In response to the needs of special scenarios, Shanghai Huitong Automation also introduces supporting products such as Bitpass electric cylinders and planetary reducers to provide customers with richer integration options and meet the diverse needs of customized automation solutions.
Insulated glass sealing line solution supported by TPS lean system.
Faced with the common pain points of complex debugging parameters and time-consuming specification switching of insulating glass sealing lines, Shanghai Huitong Automation joined hands with Newstar to integrate Newstar motion controllers, A6B/CZ1 servo drives, proximity sensors and human-machine interfaces (HMI), combined with its own TPS lean production management system, to launch a highly automated solution.
Through lean process optimization, this solution comprehensively handles the parameter relationships of different glass specifications, sets benchmark control parameters, and realizes the automation of the debugging process.
Customers only need to modify parameters with one click to adapt to a variety of glass specifications. The operation is simple and can save about 25 hours of work per month, greatly improving the turnover efficiency of the production line.
In response to the problems of poor glue coating effect and low yield rate of sealing lines on the market, Shanghai Huitong Automation’s solution uses position detection processing and speed adjustment algorithms, combined with TPS quality control standards, to dynamically calculate speed data based on the glass edge depth detection results to ensure that the amount of glue applied at each position is accurate.
Actual measurement data shows that after adopting this solution, there are no “bright lines” or gaps in the corner sealant of insulating glass, the corners are fully sealed and smooth, and the yield rate can reach 99%, effectively reducing rework losses and meeting the cost reduction goals of lean production.
In view of the pain points of the existing sealing line’s lack of special-shaped functions and its inability to meet the needs of flexible production, Shanghai Huitong Automation’s solution has built-in triangles, rectangles with rounded corners, trapezoids with rounded corners and other patterns, simplifying the pattern addition process, and combined with the TPS flexible production concept, making the system easier to expand.
The system can be flexibly switched according to functional modules to meet multi-variety and customized production needs, adapt to diverse application scenarios such as building curtain walls and smart doors and windows, and provide greater flexibility for customers’ business expansion.
Integrated service capabilities of Bitpass supporting products.
As one of the supporting products of Shanghai Huitong Automation, Bitpass electric cylinder has the characteristics of high precision and high stability, and can be seamlessly integrated with the core components of the insulating glass sealing line to improve the movement accuracy and control stability of the sealing line.
Shanghai Huitong Automation’s professional engineer team can provide customers with Bitpass electric cylinder selection, debugging and integration services based on the specific working conditions of the insulating glass sealing line to ensure the compatibility of the product with the overall solution and to achieve optimal performance.
In addition to the insulating glass sealing line, Bitpass electric cylinders can also be adapted to automation scenarios in multiple industries such as new energy, automobiles, packaging and printing. Shanghai Huitong Automation relies on its full-stack technical capabilities to provide customized integration solutions for customers in different industries.
