Core Functionalities and Their Specifications:
- CNC Glass Cutting:
- Maximum Glass Size:
- This defines the largest glass sheet the machine can process (e.g., 3660mm x 2440mm, 4200mm x 2800mm).
- Glass Thickness Range:
- The range of glass thicknesses the machine can cut (e.g., 2mm to 19mm, 3mm to 25mm).
- Cutting Accuracy:
- The precision of the cuts, often expressed as a tolerance (e.g., ±0.1mm, ±0.2mm).
- Cutting Speed:
- Measured in meters per minute (m/min).
- Control System:
- PLC control, PC-based control, software compatibility (DXF files).
- Low-E Deletion:
- Deletion Method:
- Mechanical (grinding wheels, brushes) or laser deletion.
- Deletion Area:
- Adjustable deletion width.
- Capability to delete edges on shaped glass. 1
- Deletion Accuracy:
- Consistency and precision of coating removal.
- Labeling:
- Labeling Method:
- Inkjet printing, label application.
- Label Placement:
- Accuracy and consistency of label placement.
- Software integration for label design and data input.
- Label Data:
- Capability to print barcodes, QR codes, and alphanumeric data.
- General Machine Specifications:
- Power Requirements:
- Voltage, frequency, and power consumption.
- Air Pressure Requirements:
- For pneumatic components.
- Table Surface:
- Material, air flotation system.
- Safety Features:
