Cutting Machine Parts
At TShakir’s, our glass fabrication cutting machines are designed for precision and efficiency. Here are the essential parts that make it all happen:
- Cutting Head: Holds the cutting tool, typically a diamond or carbide wheel
- Cutting Wheel: Scores the glass surface to enable clean breaks.
- Cutting Bridge: Supports and moves the cutting head for precise cuts.
- CNC Control System: Automates and controls cutting patterns and precision.
- Hold-Down Bars/Clamps: Secure the glass during cutting to prevent movement.
- Glass Support Table: Surface where glass is placed, may have an air flotation system.
- Lubrication System: Applies fluid to reduce friction and cool the cutting wheel.
- Breakout Bars: Applies pressure along scored lines to break the glass.
- Sensors and Safety Guards: Detect glass position and ensure operator safety.
- Glass Loader/Unloader: Automates glass handling to and from the cutting table.
