MAIN PRODUCTS
GM-CNC-III CNC Glass Work Centre
Glassman’s GM-CNC-III CNC Glass Work Centre is a high-tech machine able to perfectly perform complicated processes in a short time, guaranteeing high quality of the finished glass. GM-CNC-III applies numerical control to achieve dynamic management of each axis and speed precision control. The flexibility of the control system solves the requirements of different products. The whole processing can be finished automatically without any human interference.
GM-CNC-III is suitable to process furniture glass, construction glass and auto glass, with functions such as: drilling, milling, internal and external grinding and polishing, writing, shaped notching, engraving.
Structure
Loading and unloading glass to and from the GM-CNC-III is straight forward since it is an open top machine. The movable bridge is made of welded structural steel, and is equipped with an X-axis driven structure. The X-, Y- and Z axes are driven by high-precision ball screw and slip on the line position of the slide way, while the C-axis is a rotating axis. The Y- and Y1 axes are synchronous, and are both equipped with servomotors, and driven by slide way and ball screw.
Advantages of this structure include:
• extremely rigid structure;
• high accelerations, with maximum speed up to 15 m/min;
• high processing speed and high quality;
• low abrasion, and, therefore, the machine maintains high quality over time.
Work table
The work table is made of hard aluminium alloy, and has air control stations, each with relative compressed air pipe and vacuum pipe, convenient for operators in the loading and unloading glass.
Tool Setter
The machine is equipped with a small automatic tool setter, which can measure various tools horizontally (radius of tool) and vertically (height of tool), with the following advantages:
• no need for manual operator measurement, improved automation level;
• reduced damage to product quality or machine caused by incorrect human operation;
• operator can set reasonable times of tool setting according to the type of tools;
• automatic adjustment function during polishing, with guaranteed polishing quality, especially in mass production.
Numerical Centre
The Numerical Centre integrates a professional numerical system and Windows operation platform, facilitating human-computer interaction.
The main features of the system:
• possibility of editing PC programmes with machine up and running;
• simple and easy interface;
• CD-COM and USB drive, the machine is able to store and transfer data conveniently;
• keyboard and mouse;
• Internet connection via PC;
• remote assistance via modem.
