1. Key Functions
Edge Smoothing: Removes sharp edges to prevent cuts and stress fractures.
Beveling/Chamfering: Creates 45° (or custom-angle) edges for safety and aesthetics.
Polishing: Achieves mirror-finish edges (Ra ≤0.4μm) for high-end applications.
Deburring: Eliminates micro-cracks from cutting, improving structural integrity.
2. Working Process
1. Loading: Glass placed on conveyor belt (manual/CNC-automated).
2. Rough Grinding:
Abrasive Wheels: 80–120 grit diamond/CBN wheels remove bulk material.
Coolant: Water-based emulsion prevents overheating.
3. Fine Grinding:
200–400 grit wheels refine edge smoothness.
4. Polishing (Optional):
Felt/resin wheels with cerium oxide paste for optical clarity.
5. Cleaning: Ultrasonic rinsing to remove residue.
3. Applications
Architectural Glass: Curtain walls, balustrades.
Automotive: Windshields, side windows.
Solar Panels: Precise edge sealing.
