1. Cutting the Glass Raw Sheet
The process begins with cutting the glass raw sheet to the needed size and shape. It is crucial because any cutting or shaping must be done before the glass is tempered. Once the glass is tempered, it cannot be cut or drilled without shattering.

 

2. Edge Polishing
After cutting, the edges of the glass are carefully polished. To ensure that the edges are smooth and free from any sharp or rough areas. Polishing the edges not only enhances the appearance of the glass but also helps to prevent stress concentrations that could lead to breakage.

 

3. Drilling and Hole Making
If the final product requires holes for mounting or other purposes, these are drilled into the glass at this stage.Drilling must be done with precision to avoid creating stress points that could weaken the glass. The specialized tools and techniques are used to ensure clean and accurate holes.

 

4. Cleaning and Drying
The glass is then thoroughly cleaned to remove any dust, debris, or residue from the cutting and drilling processes.Cleaning is essential to ensure that no contaminants are present on the surface, which could affect the quality of the final product. After cleaning, the glass is carefully dried to ensure that no moisture remains.

 

5. Silk Screening
For applications that require a design or pattern on the glass, silk screening is performed at this stage. A stencil is created with the desired design, and ink is pressed through the stencil onto the glass surface. We can use add decorative elements, instructions, or other graphic to the glass.

 

6. Logo Printing
If a logo or other identification marks are needed, they are printed onto the glass. It be done using various printing technique,such as digital printing or screen printing, depending on the complexity, durability requirements of the logo.

 

7. Tempering Process
The final and most critical step is the tempering process. The glass is placed into a tempering furnace where it is heated to a high temperature. then it is rapidly cooled using high-pressure air blasts. The rapid cooling process causes the outer surfaces of the glass to cool and harden much faster than the interior which creating a state of compression on the surface and tension in the interior. This process significantly increase the strength of the glass, making it up to five times stronger than annealed glass.

 

8. Quality Control and Inspection
After the tempering process, the glass undergoes a thorough inspection to ensure it meets the required quality standards. Any defects, such as cracks or uneven tempering, are identified and the glass is either repaired or discarded if it does not meet the specifications.

 

9. Packaging and Shipping
Finally, the tempered glass is carefully packaged to protect it during transportation. It is then shipped to the customer or stored for future use.
