More Benefits of Custom-built Insulated Glass Machines 
Those Custom-built machines can open up untapped production capabilities. Here are some other reasons why you might need custom-built machines:

  • The part you want to produce is not standard or has unique properties;
  • You need the capability to produce high-quality insulated glass on short notice;
  • The components you need are not available or expensive to order from other glass machine manufacturers or suppliers.
If you use customized automated machines, you’ll be able to address these issues and enjoy these benefits:

  • Higher efficiency: Customized machines can produce finished products faster, more accurately, and with minimal delays or interruptions.
  • Accuracy and precision: Automated custom machines eliminate the risk of human error caused by fatigue, distraction, or inexperience.
  • Better safety: Limiting the material handling stages of insulated glass production can protect employees from repetitive stress injuries, sharp or heavy objects, and long-term health risks from exposure to chemicals and aerosols.
  • Increased production: Because of their increased speed, custom-built machines allow your facility to scale up production and increase profits.
  • Enhanced quality and consistency: Custom-machined parts are virtually identical and closely follow the design file’s specifications for tolerances, surface finish, and other features.

How many processes should a piece of automatic glass equipment go through?

1. Equipment Design Carry out relevant vibration analysis and design, tribology design, thermodynamic heat transfer design, strength and stiffness design, temperature field analysis, etc. 2. Craft Preparation Based on the determined basic dimensions of the main parts and components, design component assembly sketches and general assembly sketches. 3. Pre-Manufacture Including but not limited to general modern methods such as optimization, finite element, reliability, simulation, expert system, CAD, etc. 4. Machine Processing Collect technical information such as drawings, instructions, and assembly procedures of the equipment to ensure that operators have a clear understanding of the structure and functions of the equipment. 5. Coating and Packaging Customize steaming and fumigation packaging cases as needed, inventory materials according to the attachment list, and affix marks and warning signs, etc. 6. Assemble & Debugging Provide equipment operation training to operators to familiarize them with equipment operating procedures, precautions and maintenance methods.

The Stress Annealing Treatment
The machine bed of LIJIANG Glass automatic insulated glass processing equipment adopts stress relief annealing, also known as low-temperature annealing (or high-temperature tempering), to eliminate the residual stress of castings, forgings, welded parts, hot rolled parts, cold drawn parts, etc.

Stress annealing is an overall heat treatment process for equipment bed castings, which is a metal heat treatment process that changes its overall mechanical properties by heating cast iron flat plates, cast iron bent plates, or equipment bed castings as a whole, and then cooling them at an appropriate rate.

LIJIANG Glass will ensure that the stress-annealed steel will no longer deform or crack after a certain period, or during the subsequent cutting process.
The Electrophoretic Coating 
Some structural components of LIJIANG Glass automatic insulated glass processing equipment are sprayed by electrophoretic spraying. The electrophoretic coating has a high penetration rate and can be completely dissolved or emulsified in water. In the gap, the corrosion resistance and weather resistance of the inner cavity, weld seam and edge of the workpiece are significantly improved.

There is a big difference between electrophoretic spraying and ordinary spray paint. The painting process of the two is different. Electrophoretic spraying can save energy and cover hidden places. In addition, the products made by the electrophoresis spraying process are not prone to peeling or scratches after extrusion. 
Focus on equipment quality, let’s find out how LIJIANG Glass does it!
  • The Spare Parts Inspection 
All the spare parts from automatic glass equipments are laser-coded and coded into the warehouse, which can realize real-time traceability of the quality of purchased parts.

  • The Assembly Processing Inspection 
The whole SOP assembly process documents of insulating glass machine manufacturer could be viewed and displayed at any time. Through the signatures and records of assembly workers/team leaders/quality inspectors/quality inspection team leaders/factory managers, the whole process of parts inspection can be managed and visioned.
Focus on equipment quality, let’s find out how LIJIANG Glass does it!
  • The SOP Assembly Process Document Inspection
The SOP assembly process document, which is summarized from years of equipment assembly experience, is first inspected and signed by each team leader, and then re-inspected and signed by the quality inspection specialist. All common assembly problems are inspected item by item to ensure product quality traceability for each device leaving the factory.

  • The Finite Element Analysis + Simulation 
LIJIANG Glass has an independent mechanical design department with unique mechanical design concepts. It uses Solidworks industrial design software to perform finite element analysis, calibrates the equipment based on the data obtained from the analysis, and simulates the automated processing of insulating glass.

The Equipment Quality Inspection

The detection of the parallelism of the Screw to the Guide Rail 1

LIJIANG Glass adopts a device that can quickly and accurately detect the parallelism between the guide rail, the ball screw and the main shaft in the automatic glass deep processing equipment. The parallelism between the bed guide, ball screw, and spindle directly affects the machining accuracy of the machine tool. LIJIANG Glass conducts precision testing to ensure the assembly accuracy and assembly efficiency of the machine tool.

The detection of the parallelism of the Screw to the Guide Rail 2

LIJIANG Glass's inspection of ball screws used in glass deep processing equipment will include: Inspection and maintenance of ball screw nut pair and support system clearance： A) Inspection and repair of screw support bearing clearance. B) Inspection and maintenance of ball screw double nut pair clearance. C) Inspection and maintenance of single nut pair. D) Nut flange The gap between the connection with the worktable is not fixed. E) Inspection of the ball screw and nut pair with unstable movement and excessive noise.

The linear guide rail travel parallel accuracy detection

LIJIANG Glass would use a spirit level and a dial indicator to detect the straightness of the guide rails used in the glass deep processing equipment, which will ensure the processing accuracy of the equipment.

Using laser interferometer to detect the straightness of guide rails

LIJIANG Glass uses a laser interferometer to measure the horizontal and vertical straightness of the long guide rail. When the slider moves, the straightness deviation can be displayed in real time. The assembly workers can adjust the assembly according to the value to ensure that the straightness deviation is within 5 wires.

The detection of rack tooth angle and center distance

LIJIANG Glass adopts a new type of rapid inspection tool for accurately measuring the center distance of the groove of the gear sleeve, which can quickly determine whether the center distance of the groove of the synchronizer sleeve is qualified or not, which improves the measurement efficiency and accuracy.

Using the servo motor encoder detection equipment

LIJIANG Glass adopts the servo motor encoder detection equipment, which is used to detect the precision and speed of the servo motor, to ensure the normal use of machine.
