Choosing the right Electric Multi-Function Machine for glass installation can streamline your workflow and improve safety. Cowest Machinery’s WSR-800LA and WSR-1000M are both advanced glass installation manipulators equipped with heavy-duty suction cups for glass, but they cater to different needs. Let’s compare their features to help you decide.
1. Load Capacity & Work Height
- WSR-800LA:
Handles up to 800 kg of glass panels, making it ideal for medium-sized projects like office buildings or residential complexes. Its maximum working height is 4.6 meters, balancing reach and maneuverability in tight spaces. - WSR-1000M:
Built for heavier tasks, this 1000KG manipulator for glass installation lifts and positions large, thick panels with ease. It reaches up to 5 meters, perfect for high-rise construction or industrial applications.
2. Precision Adjustments
- WSR-800LA:
Offers ±50mm lateral and ±75mm vertical adjustments for precise alignment. Its rotatable suction cups and optional curved suction cup frames securely grip irregularly shaped glass, such as arched windows. - WSR-1000M:
Focuses on broader adjustments with 100mm side shift and 150mm vertical shift, prioritizing flexibility for large panels. While it uses standard glass handling suction cups, it supports attachments like forklifts or winches for multi-purpose use.
3. Power & Mobility
- WSR-800LA:
Powered by a 4 kW motor, it drives smoothly at 0–4 km/h and climbs slopes up to 12%. The 650mm+500mm electric telescoping arm and 360° unlimited rotation allow operators to navigate confined areas effortlessly. - WSR-1000M:
Designed for stability over speed, it features a 2.2-meter arm extension and 90° side turning to handle bulky panels. Its heavier build (2977 kg) ensures durability but requires more space to operate.
4. Safety & Control Systems
- WSR-800LA:
Includes dual-pump vacuum systems for reliable suction, along with safety features like overload warnings, anti-tip devices, and emergency stop buttons. A remote control system lets operators adjust the machine from up to 6 meters away. - WSR-1000M:
Shares similar safety protections but adds modular attachments (e.g., forklift, winch) for versatility. Its wireless remote control simplifies complex tasks like tilting or rotating panels at height.
5. Battery & Runtime
Both models use dual 12V batteries (190AH for the WSR-800LA, 192AH for the WSR-1000M) to deliver 6–8 hours of continuous operation. The WSR-1000M’s higher weight may slightly reduce efficiency on uneven terrain.
Which Machine is Right for You?
- Choose the WSR-800LA if:
You need precision adjustments, compact mobility, and mid-weight handling (up to 800 kg) for projects like storefronts or mid-rise buildings. - Choose the WSR-1000M if:
You require a 1000KG manipulator for heavy industrial glass, taller installations (5 meters), or tasks needing modular attachments like forklifts.
