Abstract Semi automatic glass edge polishing machine is the simple machine which is polish edge 8mm thickness glass. By applying modification, machine reduces maintenance, service cost and floor area. The main peculiarity of machine is its simplicity, reduce size, weight, and also reduce cost of machine. INTRODUCTION What is polishing? Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface by rubbing it or using a chemical action. When an unpolished surface is magnified thousands of times, it usually looks like mountains and valleys. By repeated abrasion, those "mountains" are worn down until they are flat or just small "hills." The process of polishing with abrasive starts with coarse ones and graduates to …show more content…

Glass is holding on holding shelf. There are two polishing wheels and two buffing wheels. Glass is move bye use of lead screw. Coolant was started for smoth and cold working process. Cooling water is store in base of the machine. First polishing wheel is polish glass edge at 90°. Axis of the polishing wheel is parallel to the edge of the glass. Edge will be flate afer polishing process. Second polishing wheel is give a 45° bevel to the edge of …show more content…

The pressure distribution on the edge zone was analyzed by mean of finite element analysis (FEA).The shape of the edge profile was predicted. To correct the raised corners, a local edge rectification technique was developed recently. 4.3 Laser application for optical glass polishing Rapid generation of large area polished optical surfaces by high-power CO2 laser irradiation is shown. Results focus on glasses with high expansion coefficients (a>1025/°C) conventionally used in the optical industry. The technique involves active beam integration to obtain an intensity irradiation profile with a good uniformity over large spot sizes and is applied to preheated glass samples with initial rms roughness up to 500 nm. To find out the conditions for successful and reliable use of the proposed laser polishing method, the laser-driven heating process was monitored by means of the surface and depth temperature
