How the production affects the glass cutting process

Everyone who processes this material knows that laminated safety glass (LSG) is unconventional and requires a great deal of sensitivity. The LSG cracks and chips and finally the question arises: What was to blame for the breakage? Was the cutting pressure too low? Was the crushing pressure too high? Cutting speed, acceleration, crushing roller feed, cutting wheel angle, temperature, cutting oil or was it tension in the glass during production in the glassworks? The influencing factors are unmanageable and glass qualities fluctuate constantly.

HOW BEST TO PREVENT MACHINE DOWNTIME

Performance data, investment costs, contribution margin, consumption of resources – the acquisition of a new glass processing system requires careful consideration. In addition to the production requirements for the scope of functions and the commercial calculation, there is another point to be clarified before the final decision is made: What happens if the line stops at an unplanned point?

CONCRETE ADVANTAGES OF MODULAR, SELF-CONFIGURABLE GLASS PROCESSING LINES

Higher integration density now plays a central role in the further development of systems. Extensions, add-ons and improvements are not only a question of the hardware, but also of the production processes, and with this also of the control and management systems. Modular solutions are advantageous both in terms of time and cost.

STANDARD FAST CYCLE TIMES IN GLASS PROCESSING THANKS TO INTEGRATED PRODUCTION LINES

Three different production concepts are currently used in flat glass production. But where high quantities and fast throughput are required, two of these concepts drop out of the race – they cannot keep up with the pace of the integrated line.

FLAT GLASS CAN BE PROCESSED FASTER WITH FEWER RESOURCES

There is a real alternative to the traditional production and processing of flat glass in production lines with various stations: the integrated production line. A comparison shows that this method of production enables a wide range of resource and cost savings.

WHAT PROBLEMS INTEGRATED PRODUCTION LINES CAN SOLVE IN GLASS PROCESSING

The construction boom in Europe is delivering brilliant growth figures for the glass industry. The downsides are not long in coming: High pressure to innovate and compete on the one hand, a shortage of skilled workers on the other. Investing in pure capacity expansion has therefore been too short-lived – better production concepts are needed.

The Components of the new processing Line SplitFin

The SplitFin is an integrated and continuous solution for fast and uncomplicated processing of the most common glasses and dimensions. The line is aimed especially at complete processing of interior glasses such as doors, side pieces or dividers. Splitting the processing steps allows a significantly higher output; the individual machines have been built to fit the required dimensions and requirements. The SplitFin sets new standards in user friendliness and ease of maintenance, since all important mechanical components are easily accessible and if possible located in the dry area. We will present the SplitFin at the glasstec 2018 and invite you to book a meeting with one of our product engineers or sales employees.
