Glass is a universal material whose physical and chemical properties allow it to be used in a wide variety of different applications. Not only the amount of glass used in architecture and the automotive sector is increasing the fastest, but also the use of glass in displays is also very much on the rise.
Schmalz clamping solutions ensure flexible and efficient production processes in glass processing. Vacuum blocks with special friction pads are wear resistant and guarantee precise results, even in challenging operating conditions. High lateral force absorption and low height tolerances ensure optimal quality while grinding glass edges. Minimum set-up times enable the output of the lines to be increased.
In addition to powerful holding forces, the height tolerance also plays an important role in the grinding process of glass, because even minimal height differences can cause significant fluctuations in quality. With the vacuum blocks VCBL-G, the workpieces are clamped safely and precisely. In addition to the high shear force, the vacuum blocks ensure minimal height tolerances for a high quality of theglass edges.
