Is a joint really so offensive ?
No,this one I think is part of the system.Sigma have more systems but for 3m+ have 2 systems as far I see,one with 2 vacuum and the rest is normal cups,cost around 800£ and the another one have 6 vacuum and cost around 1400£.In my image Ed?
This one?

That is one side of the 1m x 1m frame, and it works well I think.
You can purchase single arm, but it is larger and extends. This is fixed at 1m

OrderedFrom what I saw yeasterday Ed, the 4 ordinary cups with extra 2 vacuum cups is enough. They work with textured tiles too!
So if I wanted larger system it would be one of these two. They also have extra safety hooks if cup fails.

I was told recently that a new breed of tile is about to hit the market, they have a high metal content, yes on purpose.
Reason being is that they are being aimed at the cladding market.
Idea being that magnetic strips are mechanically fixed to the building and the tiles are literally stuck to the magnets. Good luck cutting them!
on the handling and cutting side of things I think...
Same differenceNot that I know of Sharon, large sheets of glass are normally moved with something like this,
I wonder where Raimondi took their inspiration from?

Alternatively you could always forget about the fancy expensive gadgets and just hire an extra pair of hands for the day. Large format tiles need to be handled with care ideally by 2 installers as per this youtube vid
