In today's highly competitive and rapidly evolving glass processing industry, a series of significant developments are profoundly reshaping the industry landscape, bringing unprecedented opportunities and challenges for various enterprises.

Techwin, as a pioneering force in industry innovation, has long maintained a leading position in the field of glass processing. At the grand China Glass Exhibition held in 2024, Techwin grandly launched its newly developed high-speed fully automatic glass double edger machine, which immediately became the focus of attention and sparked a heated discussion wave in the industry. This revolutionary equipment integrates numerous cutting-edge technological highlights, among which the fully automatic grinding wheel compensation system is one of its core advantages. During the delicate process of glass processing, even slight changes in the position and angle of the grinding wheel can have a significant impact on the grinding precision. Techwin's system, relying on an advanced sensor network and intelligent algorithms, can monitor the state of the grinding wheel in real time at a very high frequency and automatically and precisely adjust its position and angle deviations. Whether it is the wear of the grinding wheel caused by long-term continuous processing or the change in grinding resistance due to material differences, this system can respond quickly to ensure that the grinding precision of each piece of glass remains at an consistently excellent level. This stability of precision not only greatly improves the finished product quality of glass processing, making it far superior to products processed by traditional equipment in key indicators such as optical performance and edge flatness, but also significantly enhances production efficiency. In the past, situations such as frequent manual adjustments of the grinding wheel or rework caused by precision problems have been greatly reduced, enabling enterprises to produce more high-quality glass products in the same time and thus gain a competitive edge in the market.

On the other side of the Eurasian continent, the glass processing industry in Turkey has also achieved a milestone breakthrough. After the unremitting efforts and arduous research of the R&D team, CMS Glass Machinery Company proudly announced the successful development and manufacture of the first glass double edger machine in Turkey, becoming a pioneer and leader in this field in the country. This feat has filled the long-term gap in the manufacturing of glass double edger machines in Turkey and injected a powerful new impetus into the development of the local glass processing industry. Previously, glass processing enterprises in Turkey often relied on imported equipment for procurement, not only facing high cost pressures but also encountering many limitations in equipment maintenance and technological upgrading. However, the locally manufactured equipment of CMS Glass Machinery Company can better adapt to the characteristics of local raw materials, production environments, and the personalized needs of enterprises in Turkey. Its equipment fully considers the scale and production process characteristics of Turkish glass processing enterprises in design and provides more targeted solutions. For example, in the Turkish glass processing market where small enterprises are in the majority, the company's equipment has been optimized in terms of floor area, ease of operation, and energy consumption, enabling more enterprises to easily introduce and use it efficiently. This will undoubtedly vigorously promote the transformation of Turkey's glass industry from relying on imported equipment to independent innovation and local manufacturing, facilitating the upgrading of the entire industry and enhancing its competitiveness and voice in the international glass market.

With the widespread popularity and application of glass double edger machines around the world, the issue of equipment maintenance has gradually become the focus of attention in the industry. Many professionals have emphasized that regular and scientifically reasonable maintenance plays an indispensable and crucial role in ensuring the long-term stable operation of equipment, extending its service life, and maintaining its optimal performance. As a complex electromechanical integrated equipment, glass double edger machines are extremely vulnerable to the erosion of impurities such as dust and debris, as well as problems such as grinding wheel wear and component fatigue during long-term and high-intensity operation. Therefore, professional maintenance measures cover several important aspects. Regular equipment cleaning is the foundation. By thoroughly removing dust, glass debris, and other impurities on the surface and inside of the equipment, it can effectively prevent them from entering mechanical transmission components and electrical control systems and avoid failures such as aggravated wear and short circuits caused by the accumulation of impurities. Meanwhile, closely monitoring the wear of the grinding wheel and replacing it in a timely manner is of vital importance. During the long-term grinding process, the diameter of the grinding wheel will gradually decrease, and its surface roughness will also change. If it is not replaced in a timely manner, it will not only affect the grinding precision but also may cause problems such as increased equipment vibration and noise. In addition, replacing working media such as lubricating oil and hydraulic oil in a timely manner according to the requirements of the equipment operation manual can ensure that the mechanical transmission components of the equipment are always in a good lubricated state, reduce friction losses, improve transmission efficiency, lower the operating temperature of the equipment, effectively reduce the incidence of equipment failures, reduce production losses caused by equipment downtime for maintenance, and significantly improve the production efficiency and economic benefits of enterprises.

In the innovation wave of modern glass processing technology, the application of servo systems in glass double edger machines is increasingly demonstrating its unique advantages and huge potential. Currently, glass double edger machines equipped with servo systems are highly favored among numerous glass processing enterprises and are gradually becoming the mainstream trend in the industry. Servo motors are widely and deeply applied in glass double edger machines and play a core role in key components such as grinding wheel compensation, opening adjustment, and transmission. In terms of grinding wheel compensation, servo motors can accurately control the advance and retreat compensation amounts of the grinding wheel according to preset grinding parameters and the real-time monitored grinding wheel wear conditions, ensuring the consistency of grinding depth and the stability of precision. In the opening adjustment link, servo motors, relying on their high-precision position control capabilities, can quickly and accurately adjust the opening size of the edger machine to meet the processing needs of different-sized glasses, greatly improving the versatility and flexibility of the equipment. In the transmission system, the high response speed and precise speed control characteristics of servo motors make the transmission of glass during the processing more stable and precise, effectively avoiding problems such as scratches on the glass surface or uneven grinding caused by fluctuations in the transmission speed. These advantages enable glass double edger machines to better meet the stringent requirements of different customers for glass processing precision and efficiency. Whether in the fields of high-end optical glass, building curtain wall glass, or automotive glass, the high-precision and high-efficiency processing requirements can be fully met.

Meanwhile, the energy-saving characteristics of the servo system significantly reduce the energy consumption level of the equipment, meeting the urgent requirements of modern manufacturing for environmental protection and sustainable development. Its low-noise operation characteristics also make a positive contribution to improving the working environment of the production workshop, which is conducive to improving the working comfort and production safety of operators.
