How to Choose the Right CNC Glass Cutting Machine for Your Workshop

When investing in a CNC glass cutting machine, it’s important to select equipment that matches your workshop’s production needs. First, consider the cutting accuracy and speed. CNC machines use computer numerical control to ensure precise cuts for both straight and shaped glass.

Next, evaluate the machine’s software compatibility, automation features, and table size to match the dimensions of your typical glass sheets. A high-quality CNC cutting machine should reduce waste, improve efficiency, and require minimal downtime.

For workshops aiming to scale production, automation features such as auto-loading and break-out functions are essential. You can explore more about our glass machinery solutions to find the right fit.

At LIJIANG Glass, we provide advanced CNC glass cutting machines designed to maximize productivity and accuracy, ensuring long-term performance for industrial use.

Glass Machine Maintenance Guide: Keep Your Equipment in Top Shape

A well-maintained glass machine is the foundation of efficient glass processing. Regular maintenance not only extends the lifespan of your equipment but also ensures consistent quality output. Start by performing daily cleaning to remove glass dust and debris, which can affect precision and safety.

Next, schedule periodic checks of mechanical components, such as cutting heads, polishing wheels, and conveyor systems. Proper lubrication of moving parts will reduce wear and tear. It’s also essential to update control software for CNC glass machines to maintain accuracy.

If you operate equipment such as a glass polishing machine or a CNC glass cutting machine, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for inspections and part replacements.

At LIJIANG Glass, we not only provide reliable glass machinery but also long-term service support to keep your workshop running smoothly with minimal downtime.

Glass Tempering Furnace vs Other Glass Processing Machines – Which Do You Need?

Choosing between a glass tempering furnace and other processing machines depends on your production goals. A glass tempering furnace is designed to heat glass to a high temperature and then cool it rapidly, increasing strength and safety. This makes tempered glass ideal for architectural, automotive, and safety applications.

On the other hand, machines like CNC glass cutting machines or glass polishing machines are essential for shaping and finishing glass before tempering.

For businesses aiming to enter large-scale safety glass production, investing in a high-quality glass tempering furnace is the right choice.

At LIJIANG Glass, we provide complete glass machinery solutions to help manufacturers choose the right equipment for their specific needs.

How to choose the automatic glass cutting machine equipment?


With the development of the glass market in some developing countries, automated glass machinery and equipment have also developed. Among them, glass cutting machines have gradually matured, and there are countless manufacturers. As a glass production enterprise, how should we choose the glass cutting equipment that suits us?


Taking the automatic glass cutting machine as an example, the following points should be paid attention to when purchasing:


1. Type selection: According to the actual cutting layout of the enterprise itself, choosing the most suitable one, that is, what kind of glass to cut is the basis for considering the layout, which mainly involves normal wear and tear of equipment and unnecessary capital investment.


2. Cutting accuracy: choose according to your actual needs. You can't just look at the introduction of the product manual and the manufacturer's words. It is mainly in the technical research, such as the control of the cutter wheel, the running-in of the gear and rack, and the design. Reasonable, the level of the control system, and then the measurement in the actual cutting. Only in this way can we fully grasp the synchronous control level of the cutting mechanical part and the control system.


3. Cutting speed: The speed can only be discussed on the premise of meeting the cutting accuracy. Since it is difficult to judge whether the highest speed is reached by the eyes, the software simulation function of the servo driver of the cutting machine can be used to check whether the motor speed can reach the highest...


4. Automatic typesetting optimization function: Due to the particularity of the work, people with high education or level are rarely assigned to work, so the operation of the cutting machine is required to be simple, easy to understand, safe, and stable. The maintenance is simple, avoiding the embarrassing situation where you can afford the equipment but cannot maintain the equipment. The optimization should apply to your actual situation, and you cannot pursue a 100% optimization rate, which will result in cuts that cannot be broken, work efficiency will drop, and it cannot be completely optimized according to the manufacturer's specifications, because some original glass plates are not refined, which will cause the cutting machine to drop the knife, and special-shaped cutting The graphics library is rich and flexible, and the graphics files of CAD and Solidworks software can be imported into the library.


5. Simple and convenient maintenance: Don’t equip too many input and output and mechanical sensors, and try to keep as few unnecessary switches and indicator lights as possible, because once a certain component on the machine fails, it will affect the use of the cutting machine. Fewer parts result in a simpler design, lower probability of failure, less wiring, and easier troubleshooting and replacement parts. And it is best to debug the status of each input and output signal on the display screen. Maintenance cost is an important factor that must be considered at the top of the list when purchasing equipment.


6. Saving energy consumption: When the cutting requirements can also be fulfilled, choosing cutting opportunities that save energy consumption will bring many benefits to the enterprise: 1. With the development of society and the shortage of energy, the price will continue to rise, and energy saving can save part of daily production Second, saving energy can protect the environment and save energy.


7. Good design coordination. All mechanical parts, electrical parts, etc., have been carefully calculated, and the combination and coordination are reasonable and reliable, avoiding a series of problems that affect production caused by inconsistency.


8. Easy to use and operate. The cutting machine is a simple tool to complete the cutting task (similar to the function of the printer), and the multi-functional control buttons will only bring trouble and mistakes to the workshop workers. Some automated glass cutting machines are now as simple as a one-button operation, and the operation of the loading table only has 3 buttons.


9. Save energy consumption. When the cutting requirements can also be fulfilled, choosing equipment with low energy consumption will bring many benefits to the enterprise: 1. With the development of society and energy shortage, its price will continue to rise, and energy saving can save part of the daily production cost; 2. Consumption saving can protect the environment and save energy.


10. Noise reduction. This is a part that cannot be ignored by an enterprise. With the development of society, the requirements of employees for the working environment are also constantly increasing. A good working environment can not only make employees feel happy but also avoid physical injury. Glass cutting machine manufacturers should attach great importance to this link from the beginning of R & D and design.
