Working principle of glass edging machine

Glass edging machine is one of the early and large mechanical equipment in glass deep processing equipment. The main function is to smooth the glass and make some special shapes. The correct and reasonable use of the edging machine can not only ensure the normal production, but also prolong the life of the machine. Commonly used glass edging machines are divided into unilateral edging machine, bilateral edging machine, single-arm special-shaped edging machine, and die edging machine.

Glass edging machine is a special equipment used for edging and polishing glass. Its working principle mainly includes the following steps:

Preparation for processing: First of all, the glass plate to be processed needs to be placed on the work table of the edging machine and fixed by adjusting the clamping device. The operator also needs to adjust the parameters of the edging machine as needed, such as speed, water flow and grinding wheel Angle.

Edging: The table transfers the glass plate to the edging area, and the edging machine grinds the edge by rotating the grinding wheel. The grinding wheel is usually made of a hard material such as diamond or quartz sand, which can cut and sand the edges of the glass quickly and precisely. In the grinding process, the grinding wheel Angle and grinding speed can be adjusted according to the needs to achieve different angles and thickness of the grinding effect.

Polishing: After edging, the edge of the glass may still have some burrs or roughness. To further improve edge quality, the edging machine sends the glass plate to the polishing area. The polishing area is equipped with a soft polishing wheel, usually coated with polishing agent. When the glass plate is in contact with the polishing wheel, the rotating friction of the polishing wheel will make the glass edge smooth and bright.

Cleaning and inspection: After edging and polishing, the glass plate is transported to the cleaning and inspection area by conveyor belt. Here they are rinsed through a cleaning spray to remove impurities and residues from the grinding and polishing process. The operator then checks the quality of the edging and polishing edges to ensure that the expected standards are met.

It should be noted that different types of glass edging machines may differ in working principle and specific steps. The above is an overview of the working principle of the general glass edging machine.
