At LIGHING GLASS, we offer a comprehensive range of glass edge processing services to meet the needs of various industries, including optics, electronics, medical devices, aerospace, and more. Our advanced CNC technology and expert team enable us to deliver high-precision glass edges, ensuring that every project, whether a prototype or large-scale production, meets the highest precision standards. We provide customized solutions for both simple and complex glass edge profiles, ensuring a perfect edge for each application.
Our CNC Glass Edge Processing Capabilities:
We use state-of-the-art CNC equipment to create a variety of edge contours, from simple straight edges to complex custom contours. We apply a variety of edge types, including 45° angles, rounded corners, radius blends and custom designs. Whether your project requires sharp, clean edges or rounded corners , we can meet your precise specifications
CNC glass edging: Our precision CNC edging stations provide flexible machining for a variety of edge profiles. We can design and produce almost any edge shape, including semi-standard planes, notches, alignment marks, cavities and holes. The process ensures precise edge geometry and tight tolerances, typically within ±0.20mm. We use multiple tool changes in a single program to effectively and accurately apply these features.
Edge profiles: Our CNC system can create a variety of edge profiles, such as:
- 45° Edge Cut: Ideal for certain optical and structural applications, these cuts provide clean, sharp edges with extreme precision.
- Rounded Edges: Rounded corners help eliminate sharp points, reducing the risk of breakage and chipping. We can achieve any required radius with precision, providing the best durability.
- Custom Profiles: If your project requires a unique edge profile, we can design and manufacture custom shapes, including corner radii, notches, and even window or cavity cuts.
Additional CNC Features: Our CNC systems also allow us to integrate features such as notches, flats, holes, and other precision elements directly into the edge profile. Whether for functional components in electronics or fine processing in optics, our CNC processes provide the necessary precision to meet the strictest tolerance requirements. Other Glass Edge Processing Methods: In addition to CNC edge processing, we also offer other glass edge processing methods to meet the needs of different projects, providing multiple options to accommodate various thicknesses and tolerance requirements.
- Hand Edging: For smaller parts or projects with less stringent requirements, our hand edging method provides an efficient and cost-effective solution. The grinding wheel operation allows our technicians to handle glass edges according to specified dimensions, ensuring clean and smooth non-critical edges.
- Mechanical Scribing: Our mechanical scribing process is used to precisely initiate glass cutting, particularly for thin glass applications. This method ensures flawless edge conditions, which are crucial for the strength and flexibility of the glass. From ultra-thin 100µm glass to glass up to 10mm thick, our scribing process is optimized for blade type, angle, pressure, depth, and speed, creating perfect edges before further processing, whether CNC grinding, hand seaming, or other edge treatments.
