Glass Corner Edging Functions
Automatic Corner Rounding
The SKCE Series grinds rounded corners on rectangular flat glass. Different corner radii can be selected according to the required workpiece design, allowing the machine to process glass corners without relying entirely on manual grinding.
R1–R40 mm Corner Radius Range
The specified corner-processing range is R1–R40 mm. The selected corner radius should correspond to the glass drawing, thickness and required finished shape.
Camera-Assisted Positioning
A camera-assisted system works with the machine control system during glass corner positioning and processing. The arrangement supports automatic corner edging according to the selected processing settings.
Servo-Controlled Movement
The machine uses servo-controlled movement to guide the grinding operation. The control system coordinates movement according to the programmed corner-processing requirements.
Different Processing Sizes
Six models are available for glass dimensions from smaller furniture and appliance panels to larger flat-glass sheets. Processing capacity and machine dimensions vary by model.
Machine Structure and Control
Industrial Computer Control
The industrial computer manages the corner-processing program and coordinates the machine's movement. Processing settings are selected according to the required glass dimensions and corner radius.
Camera System
The camera system assists the corner-processing operation. It works together with the computer and servo controls to support the programmed glass corner treatment.
Glass Conveying and Support
The machine has a glass support and conveying arrangement for moving workpieces through the processing station. The handling configuration should be matched to the selected machine size and production layout.
Grinding Mechanism
The grinding mechanism processes the glass corner according to the selected radius. The required grinding setup depends on the glass thickness, corner geometry and finish requirements.
Typical Working Sequence
Glass enters the processing station and is positioned for the required corner treatment. The machine carries out the programmed rounding operation using its computer-controlled grinding mechanism.
After processing, the glass can be transferred to the next station or removed for further production operations.
The operating sequence depends on the selected machine configuration and whether it is used independently or connected with other glass-processing equipment.
Production Line Integration
The SKCE Series can be incorporated into a glass-processing line alongside double edging and washing equipment. This allows corner rounding to be arranged as part of a connected processing workflow.
This is an example of a possible production arrangement. The actual equipment order, transfer method and control connections should be planned according to the customer's processing requirements.
When integrating the SKCE Series with existing equipment, the glass transfer dimensions, conveyor arrangements and communication interfaces should be checked before installation.
