Glass Engraving Capabilities
Decorative Glass Surface Engraving
The machine can engrave decorative patterns on flat glass surfaces. Tool movements follow the programmed design, allowing straight lines, curved patterns and other graphics to be processed.
Groove Processing
Grooves can be machined into the glass surface using suitable engraving tools. The groove shape and finish depend on the tool profile, processing depth and machining settings.
Glass and Mirror Decoration
The SKE-CNC Series can be used for decorative work on flat glass and mirror surfaces. Processing tools and parameters should be selected according to the glass construction and required design.
Groove Finishing
Suitable finishing tools can be used to refine the machined grooves. The required surface finish should be considered when selecting the tooling arrangement.
CAD/CAM Programming and CNC Control
CAD Drawing Input
Glass engraving patterns can be prepared as CAD graphics and imported for processing. This allows decorative designs to be prepared before machining.
Automatic Tool Path Generation
The CAD/CAM software generates CNC machining paths from the imported graphics. The operator can prepare the processing program according to the design and selected tools.
CNC-Controlled Engraving
The CNC system controls spindle movement during engraving. Programmed machining paths help maintain consistent processing positions for repeated decorative designs.
Multiple Tool Configurations
The SKE-CNC-1630 has a tool library configuration of 2–4, while SKE-CNC-2030 and SKE-CNC-2436 have configurations of 2–5. The final tool arrangement should match the required engraving and finishing operations.
Typical Engraving Workflow
The decorative pattern is prepared in CAD software and converted into a machining program. After the glass is positioned on the machine, the CNC system follows the programmed path to perform the engraving operation.
Engraving tools, machining depth and processing settings are selected according to the required pattern and surface finish.
