LUOCKBAS Glass Double - edging Machine: The Stalwart Guardian of Tempered Glass Quality

 

 

 

 

In daily life, tempered glass is ubiquitous. From the doors, windows, and curtain walls of buildings to the windows of vehicles, it provides protection for people's lives with its high strength and safety. However, the self - explosion of tempered glass occurs from time to time, causing trouble and potential safety hazards. Besides the characteristics of the glass itself and the usage environment, the quality of glass edge processing also plays a crucial role. The LUOCKBAS glass double - edging machine plays a significant role in enhancing the quality of tempered glass and reducing the risk of self - explosion.

 

I. Analysis of the Causes of Tempered Glass Self - explosion

(I) The Troubles Caused by Internal Impurities

During the production process of tempered glass, the incorporation of nickel sulfide (NiS) impurities is a common "culprit" leading to self - explosion. When the glass is heated and cooled, nickel sulfide undergoes a phase transformation and expands in volume. Since the nickel sulfide particles are encapsulated within the glass, this expansion creates local stress concentration. Over time, the stress accumulates continuously, ultimately triggering the self - explosion of the glass. Although the LUOCKBAS glass double - edging machine does not directly deal with internal impurities, through high - precision processing, it can reduce the impact of improper edge processing on the internal structure of the glass, avoiding the premature self - explosion of the impurity - containing parts due to additional stress.

(II) Thermal Stress Induced by Temperature Difference

Glass is extremely sensitive to temperature changes. When there is a large temperature difference between different parts of the glass, thermal stress will be generated. For example, in summer, when one side of the glass is directly exposed to strong sunlight while the other side is in the shade, this uneven heating can cause the internal stress of the glass to become unbalanced. The huge temperature difference between indoor and outdoor in winter also increases the risk of self - explosion. Before the original glass is tempered, the original glass processed by the LUOCKBAS glass double - edging machine has high - precision edges, which can better adapt to the stress generated during temperature changes, and to a certain extent, reduce the probability of self - explosion caused by thermal stress.

(III) Mechanical Stress Accumulated due to Improper Installation

During the installation process, if the fixing method is unreasonable, such as over - tightening the screws or direct contact between the glass and hard objects, mechanical stress will accumulate inside the glass. This hidden stress may cause the glass to self - explode over a long period. The glass processed by the LUOCKBAS glass double - edging machine has smooth and precise edges, which can better fit the frame during installation, reducing the mechanical stress caused by improper installation.

(IV) Hidden Cracks Laying Hidden Troubles

Some minor impacts may not break the glass at the moment, but they may leave cracks that are difficult to detect with the naked eye. These cracks will gradually expand during daily use, eventually leading to the breakage of the glass. The fine processing of the LUOCKBAS glass double - edging machine can effectively prevent the generation of hidden cracks during the tempering process of the original glass. At the same time, its high - precision processing can promptly detect the possible small cracks on the edges of the original glass, preventing the glass with potential hazards from entering the next production stage.

 

II. Introduction to Common Types of Tempered Glass

(I) Flat Tempered Glass

This is the most common type of tempered glass, featuring good flatness. It is processed by heating the glass to a temperature close to its softening point and then rapidly cooling it, forming a compressive stress layer on the glass surface, which significantly improves its strength. Flat tempered glass is suitable for large - area lighting areas such as building doors, windows, and curtain walls. It can withstand high wind pressure and impact forces, ensuring the safety of buildings. The LUOCKBAS glass double - edging machine, in view of the characteristics of flat tempered glass, can carry out efficient and high - precision double - edge processing on the original glass, ensuring the flatness and perpendicularity of the edges before the original glass is tempered, and enhancing the overall strength and stability of the glass.

(II) Bent Tempered Glass

This type of glass has a certain curvature and can be customized into various curved shapes according to different design requirements. Bent tempered glass is widely used in fields such as vehicle windows and sightseeing elevators. It not only meets the aesthetic requirements but also has the same strength and safety as flat tempered glass. With advanced technology, the LUOCKBAS glass double - edging machine can achieve excellent edge - grinding effects on the original glass before it is formed into bent tempered glass.

(III) Semi - tempered Glass

Also known as heat - strengthened glass, its strength is between that of ordinary glass and tempered glass. The stress distribution of semi - tempered glass is relatively uniform, and the risk of self - explosion is relatively low. It is often used in places where higher strength is required but less strict requirements are placed on the fragment state, such as some indoor partitions and glass tabletops.

(IV) Zone - tempered Glass

This type of glass has different strengths in different areas. Through special processing techniques, certain areas of the glass have higher strength, while other areas can form relatively regular fragments when broken, ensuring a certain degree of visibility. Zone - tempered glass is mainly used for vehicle windshields, ensuring safety while providing a clear view for drivers.

 

III. Effective Measures to Reduce the Risk of Tempered Glass Self - explosion

(I) Carefully Select High - quality Products

When purchasing tempered glass, it is essential to choose products from well - known brands or those with authoritative certifications. These products have strict control over raw materials during the production process and mature production techniques, which can effectively reduce the impurity content and improve product quality and safety. The glass processed by the LUOCKBAS glass double - edging machine further enhances the product quality from the aspect of edge processing, adding a guarantee to high - quality products.

(II) Reasonably Select the Type of Glass

Choose the appropriate type of tempered glass according to different usage scenarios. For example, laminated tempered glass can be selected for shower rooms. Even if the glass breaks, the fragments will be adhered by the interlayer, reducing the risk of splashing and injury. For high - rise building curtain walls, flat tempered glass with higher strength and better safety should be selected. The LUOCKBAS glass double - edging machine can meet the processing requirements of different types of glass, ensuring that all types of glass can meet the quality requirements of corresponding usage scenarios after processing.

(III) Conduct Regular and Thorough Inspections

Whether it is newly installed glass or glass that has been used for a period of time, regular inspections should be carried out to check whether there are small cracks, scratches, or deformations on the surface. Once problems are found, replace the glass in a timely manner to prevent potential hazards. The glass processed by the LUOCKBAS glass double - edging machine, due to its high - quality edges, makes it easier to detect potential problems in other parts during daily inspections, facilitating timely handling.

(IV) Avoid Extreme Temperature Difference Environments

In daily use, try to avoid exposing the glass to extreme temperature difference environments for a long time. For example, in hot summer, shade measures can be taken to reduce direct sunlight. In winter, pay attention to the impact of the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor on the glass to avoid self - explosion caused by sudden temperature changes. The glass processed by the LUOCKBAS glass double - edging machine has certain advantages in coping with temperature differences and can better adapt to the stress brought about by temperature changes.

(V) Standardize Installation to Ensure Safety

During the installation process, it should be operated by professionals to ensure that the glass is installed in the correct position and the fixing method is reasonable. Use materials such as rubber cushion pads to reduce the hard contact between the glass and the frame, reducing the possibility of generating mechanical stress. Due to the high - precision edges of the glass processed by the LUOCKBAS glass double - edging machine, it can better cooperate with the installation accessories during installation, reducing the risk of mechanical stress caused by improper installation.
