Glass Processing
In addition to specialised services like ultrasonic glass cleaning, we offer a comprehensive range of glass processing options, from faceting and edge processing to precise laser cutting and methods for automated lamination.
One example is the scribe-and-break method for processing glass substrates.
Our laser cutting system, featuring laser perforation, provides even greater versatility and precision. The lasered substrates can be separated manually or with laser control. This method allows for significant design flexibility in contouring (free form) and achieves high dimensional accuracy in the separated substrates. Moreover, laser cutting and subsequent separation result in a matte, blunt break edge.
We also utilise our proprietary CO2 laser cutting system to cut plastic sheets and films, including polarizer films and films for cold light mirrors used in automotive head-up displays. Our in-house cutting facility enables exceptional flexibility in shaping (free-form) and customisation to customer substrates. After precise cutting, the films are automatically laminated by a fully automated machine with two robots, ensuring a precise fit and maximum repeat accuracy. Automated labeling is also available.
System overview:
- Laser for cutting glass substrates to size (free form possible)
- Laser decoating and drilling
- Laser for cutting plastic films and plastic sheets to size
- Laminating system for the automated application of optical films to glass
- Labelling and laser marking, e.g. for batch traceability
