Glass Processing Capabilities
Straight Glass Edge Grinding
The machine can grind straight glass edges using programmed tool movements. Different grinding and finishing tools can be selected according to the required edge profile.
Irregular Shape Edge Processing
CNC-controlled movement allows the grinding tool to follow programmed glass contours, making the equipment suitable for shaped glass components and non-standard edge designs.
Glass Chamfering
Chamfering operations can be performed with the appropriate grinding tool to form the required edge geometry.
Edge Polishing
Polishing tools can be used after grinding to achieve the required edge finish. The result depends on the tool arrangement, glass thickness and processing settings.
Inner-Hole Grinding
The SK-CNC Series also supports grinding operations on the inner edges of glass openings. The applicable processing range depends on the opening dimensions and selected tooling.
CNC Control and Machine Structure
Three-Axis CNC Movement
The X, Y and Z axes use precision screw guides to support controlled tool movement during glass processing.
G-Code Programming
The CNC control system supports standard G-code instructions for defining tool paths and machining operations. Processing programs can be prepared according to the required glass shape and edge treatment.
Multiple Grinding Wheels
The machine uses a multi-wheel coaxial arrangement to accommodate different grinding and polishing operations. Tool selection and wheel configuration depend on the required processing tasks.
Optional Automatic Tool Changer
An automatic tool-changing system is available as an option. The final tool arrangement and tool-changing functions should be confirmed when selecting the machine configuration.
Typical Processing Workflow
The glass is positioned on the working table and the required processing program is selected. The CNC system then controls tool movement along the defined machining path.
Different grinding or polishing stages can be arranged according to the glass shape, required edge profile and installed tools.
