There are many different techniques and materials available for glass deep-processing and finishing. Glass processing and finishing technology encompasses a wide range of methods and techniques used to shape, modify, and enhance glass for various applications. Here are some common glass processing technologies:

 

  • Cutting:

    Glass cutting is a fundamental process in glass processing. Various methods such as manual scoring, diamond wheel cutting, and laser cutting are used to cut glass into desired shapes and sizes.

    The CNC automatic glass cutting machine is mainly used in the processing of flat glass, which can quickly and accurately load sheets, cut straight-line,special-shaped glass and air-floated mechanical breaking sheets.


  • Grinding and Polishing:

    After cutting, glass edges may be rough and sharp. Grinding and polishing processes are used to smooth and polish the edges for safety and aesthetics. Techniques include edge grinding, flat polishing, and beveling.


  • Drilling and Milling: 

    Holes and cutouts are often needed in glass for mounting hardware, routing wires, or other purposes. Drilling and milling processes use diamond-tipped tools to create precise holes and cutouts in glass.


  • Tempering: 

    The toughened glass allows our glass processing professionals to use both contemporary and classic technologies to produce magnificent glass alternatives for homes and business spaces. Tempering involves heating glass to high temperatures and then rapidly cooling it to increase its strength and durability. Tempered glass is used in applications where safety and impact resistance are critical, such as in doors, windows, and automotive windows.

    Glass tempering furnace uses the technical treatment of heating flat glass and then quenching it to form compressive stress on the surface of the cooled glass and tensile stress inside the glass, thereby improving the strength of the glass and turning ordinary annealed glass into tempered glass.


  • Laminating: 

    Laminated glass consists of two or more layers of glass bonded together with an interlayer of plastic or resin. This process enhances the strength and safety of the glass and can also provide additional benefits such as sound insulation and UV protection.

    Laminated glass is composed of two or more pieces of glass with one or more layers of organic polymer interlayer film (PVB/SGU) between them. After a special high-temperature pre-pressing (or vacuum) and high-temperature and high-pressure process, glass and intermediate film are permanently bonded as one of the composite glass products.

     

  • Coating: 

    Glass coatings can enhance its performance in terms of thermal insulation, solar control, self-cleaning, and scratch resistance. Coating technologies include sputtering, pyrolytic coating, and chemical vapor deposition (CVD).


  • Insulating: 

    An insulating glass unit commonly consists of two (sometimes more) panes of glass separated by a spacer material and sealed together at the edge. The insulating airspace is filled with air or a noble gas, such as argon or krypton inside. Using argon or krypton in the air space between the two panes of glass provides further insulation, as these gases are denser than air and less likely to let heat conduct through the IGU.

  • Etching and Engraving: 

    Chemical etching or mechanical engraving processes are used to create decorative patterns, designs, or logos on glass surfaces. These techniques are often used in architectural glass, signage, and ecorative glassware.


  • Bending and Forming: 

    Glass bending and forming processes involve heating glass to its softening point and then shaping it into curved or molded forms using molds or rollers. This technique is used to create curved glass panels for architectural and automotive applications.


  • Frosting and Sandblasting: 

    Frosting or sandblasting techniques are used to create a frosted or textured finish on glass surfaces. This can provide privacy or diffuse light while still allowing some transparency.

     

  • Assembly and Installation: 

    Once processed, glass components may be assembled into final products such as windows, doors, mirrors, and furniture. Proper installation techniques ensure the structural integrity and longevity of the finished product.


These are just a few examples of the many techniques used in glass processing. Advancements in technology continue to expand the possibilities for glass applications and enable the creation of innovative and high-performance glass products.
