Glass grooving machine is a kind of CNC machine tool, also known as: glass engraving machine, glass punching machine, glass edge grinding machine, special-shaped glass cutting machine, glass precision engraving machine, precision glass forming machine. Glass precision engraving machine is mainly used for fine processing and special-shaped cutting of various ultra-thin glasses, and the technology is very mature. Due to the development and demand of the future electronic consumer market, more digital electronic display screens use glass as display screens or touch screens, and the market for glass precision engraving machines is becoming increasingly huge.

Processing principle of CNC glass grooving machine:

The tool used by precision engraving machine for processing glass generally adopts diamond grinding head, with the high-speed rotation of the spindle of 24000~40000 revolutions. The processing is actually grinding rather than cutting. With a special grinding head, it can realize the opening, grooving, upper and lower one-time chamfering, special-shaped glass precise cutting, shape processing, chamfering, etc. of ultra-thin glass. The error can be controlled within ±0.02~±0.05mm, and the edge of the glass is not easy to collapse or break. It can also realize continuous batch production of products according to the designed fixture.

Processing range of CNC glass grooving machine:
The thickness of touch screen glass is generally: 0.55mm, 0.7mm, 0.9mm, 1.0mm, 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, especially those below 1.0mm are more widely used.
Appearance size: round diameter 10mm~400mm. Special shape 500x400mm. Thickness 0.3mm~10mm. Glass products with larger appearance, such as doors and windows, large-shaped automotive glass, etc., are not processed by glass engraving machines. The main factors are that the product appearance is large, the processing efficiency is low, and the product precision requirements are slightly lower, so engraving machines are rarely used for processing.

Characteristics of glass grooving machine:
The characteristics of glass engraving machine are: small machine, high processing precision, stable machine, fine finished product, fast processing speed, and high production efficiency. (Due to the characteristics of glass processing, compared with ordinary engraving machines, glass engraving machines must undergo multiple technical improvements to meet production requirements). Good light transmittance, wear resistance after tempering, and excellent hand feel. But its disadvantage is that it is fragile and easy to damage, and it is a major difficulty to achieve fine forming of glass.
