What is laser -cut glass?
Laser But Glass is any glass product cut out of the sheet using a high -power laser. Most glass stages can be cut using lasers, although the techniques used require adjustment to prevent cracking due to excessive thermal shock. In most laser -cut glass applications, carbon dioxide lasers (C0 2, sub>) are used, although other types can also be used in specific applications. When the glass is properly cut with a laser, they portray the edges of a smooth polished surface that requires small or no completion and represents a risk of injury. Laser items include ornaments, tiles and electronic components such as glass wafers used in liquid crystal displays (LCD). Conventional glass cutting includes score or scratching the line into the glass surface along the cut line. This creates a weak area in a glass, along which is mechanically bent or bent, causing a smashing. In most cases it creates it quite overNo cut, although results can often be unpredictable. The edges of this type of cut are also very rough and sharp that require polishing if serious tear -offs cannot be prevented.
An alternative method for cutting objects from glass leaves is a laser cutting. Lasers are devices that project a firmly focused, high -energy beam of light that releases a considerable amount of heat in its contact. In the case of laser cut glass, the laser beam melts and evaporates the glass at the section of the section. In some cases, this can lead to a phenomenon known as a thermal shock that can cause glass rupture along the cut line or even on its entire surface. To prevent this, the coolant is directed to the glass surface immediately after the point of the cut.
Laser glass cutting holds several different advantages over conventional scores and flexs. The first is accuracy and details, while computer -controlled LAsery is capable of high levels of accuracy along complex profiles. The second is an exceptionally high cut quality, where the cut lines have a smooth, almost polished surface, which in most cases requires no completion. Completed items are also without lubricants commonly used in other glass cutting processes. It not only shortens to production hours, but also eliminates the potential for injury.
Most laser cut glass is processed using high -performance lasers with 2 2 sub>, although other types such as ultraviolet (UV) lasers can be used. These lasers proved to be particularly effective in cutting cheap glass types, such as soda lime glass. Products produced by laser cutting include ornamental objects, glass tiles and LCD screen sheets.
