Glass Processing Capabilities
CNC Glass Drilling
The machine performs drilling operations at programmed positions on flat glass sheets. Hole positions and machining requirements are established according to the workpiece drawing and selected drilling tools.
Glass Milling
CNC milling is used to machine designated glass features according to the required dimensions and machining path. Suitable milling tools are selected for the glass thickness and feature geometry.
Glass Chamfering
Chamfering operations can be incorporated into the processing sequence for workpieces requiring angled or finished sections around machined features.
Programmed Multi-Operation Processing
Drilling, milling and chamfering can be arranged within the CNC machining program. The required operations, tool arrangement and processing sequence are determined by the glass design.
Vertical Machine Structure and CNC Control
Vertical Glass Support
The vertical layout provides a dedicated arrangement for supporting and positioning large glass sheets during machining. Machine installation and glass handling should be planned according to the selected processing size.
Five-Axis CNC System
The five-axis numerical control system coordinates machine movements during drilling, milling and chamfering. Machining positions and movement paths are controlled according to the selected processing program.
Tool-Changing System
The machine supports a tool-changing configuration with 2–6 tool positions. Different tools can be arranged to suit the required drilling, milling and chamfering operations.
Spindle Speed Control
The spindle speed range is 0–12,000 rpm across all five models. Operating speed is selected according to the machining tool, glass thickness and required operation.
Typical Working Sequence
The glass is positioned in the vertical machine before the machining program starts. The CNC system controls the spindle and machine axes to complete the configured processing operations.
The actual sequence depends on the workpiece drawing, machining tools and production requirements.
