In PVC window manufacturing, welding is crucial for stability and sealing. However, after welding, weld seams and excess material remain on the corners, which can affect both the appearance and functionality of the window. This is where the PVC window corner cleaning machine comes into play.
It ensures smooth, clean, and precise corners, improves overall product quality, and significantly reduces manual labor. For any modern production line, it is an essential element.
A corner cleaning machine is a specialized CNC or semi-automatic system designed to remove weld seams from PVC and uPVC window profiles after welding.
Automatic removal of weld excess from frames and sashes
CNC-controlled tools for precision machining
Customizable programs for different profile designs
Smooth surfaces without manual finishing
Can be integrated with welding machines in production lines
Clamping
The welded window profile is fixed securely in the machine.
Scanning and Detection
Sensors or CNC software identify the position of the weld seam.
Corner Cleaning
Milling cutters, blades, and grinders remove excess PVC material.
Fine Finishing
Corners and edges are polished until they are perfectly smooth.
Completion
The profile exits the machine with visually flawless and functional corners.

Why is corner cleaning necessary?
To remove excess material after welding and ensure smooth surfaces.
Can corners be cleaned manually?
Yes, but it is slow, imprecise, and unsuitable for large-scale production.
Are CNC corner cleaners better than manual systems?
Yes – for industrial production, CNC systems deliver higher speed, precision, and repeatability.
The PVC window corner cleaning machine is an indispensable tool in modern window manufacturing. It ensures flawless aesthetics, higher productivity, and consistent quality.
Companies that invest in this technology gain efficiency, satisfied customers, and a clear competitive edge.
