I used to work in the Autoglass industry so I’d like to correct a point you made at 9:20-ish. Windshields are not made from this type of safety glass, and saying it in the way that you have may cause some confusion as what happens when a rock hits your windshield. The most common configuration on cars today is your windshield is made with a laminated glass, meaning two layers of glass with a polyvinyl plastic in between, this type of glass doesn’t shatter, it will crack. Also, because it’s two layers of glass, it won’t fall in on you. The rest of the glass on the car are typically tempered glass, and are typically referred to as door glass, back glass, or vent glass, whichever one is set to be replaced in the case of the industry I was in. I would suggest instead saying “Sidelite” as it’s a good catch-all term that references strictly the tempered pieces, but also excludes the recent trend in laminated door glass.

I worked at a lamp manufacturer in the '80s. We had our own glass production facility in a separate building and I can tell you exactly how bent panels are made. They run the glass through a kiln with a positive and negative buck, the negative on the bottom and the positive on top. Then the kiln is heated and gravity pulls the positive buck into the negative buck and the glass is formed between the halves. Then the temperature in the kiln is slowly lowered to prevent thermal shock and breakage. After the glass has cooled to room temp (or close enough it won't shatter) it's removed from the kiln. In the case of tempered glass, the tempering would then be done after the panel is bent. Doing it first would result in the glass reverting to un-tempered glass just like heating tempered steel will remove the tempering.

I work in an automotive glass company named Vitro. I find it funny that their safety standards are way not the same as ours, but it is China so yea. I'm also amazed by how much they can do with the tech they have. Also to get the bends they would have more than likely press at the end of the furnace, but even then it would be hard to do. Just to let you know the glass in a windshield is not tempered, but heat treated and then laminated together. The side windows of a car are mostly tempered but can be laminated as well.
@bengrogan9710
5 жыл бұрын
Press immediately after furnace would be my guess too, or possibly vacuum forming, however there are steps that are needed to ensure the glass doesn't fracture from shock cooling when the press makes contact. Processes for mitigating this are likely the trade secret kept from clients that was mentioned in the early part of the video. The curved panels have a known high failure rate, likely due to warping stressors when cooling.

I want to respectfully correct a few things. It is a carbide cutting wheel that doesn't actually cut, it merely scores the glass which is sufficient to snap the glass along the score line with ease. The wheel is perhaps 5-10mm in diameter depending on the type of head in the machine. A properly aligned wheel can score a total length upwards of 10km or more. I know this because I used to work a glass cutting table at a window factory. It is NOT a safe job to do without proper ppe.... Fun fact - If a pane of freshly scored glass is left on the table for too long, say for example over break, the sheet of glass is likely going to break in random places and be scrapped due to the 'healing' nature of the score line. It becomes nearly impossible to snap the glass along the score line after too long

I must say this factory surprised me. I am working myself in an automotive factory in Western Europe and we were always thinking of Chinese factories as manual labour, unsafe and hellish conditions. This one however reminds me my own work place in many ways. First of all it seems that the majority of the operators are either in quality or packaging stations, which is also true for automated industries in Europe and NA. They are however more inventive with in-house made equipment, which I support wholeheartedly. "Creeping professionalism" resulted in purchases of fancy things that a worth several months salaries, when all we asked for was a stick with a plate welded on one side to drag something.

Shattering this glass is fun. I use to inspect cooker hoods that had tempered glass and we would order one extra panel of glass. I would randomly pick a carton out and take out the glass and shatter it to ensure it was tempered. The extra panel we bought would then replace the one broken. As no-one could assume which carton i would pick then I was confident that all had tempered glass.
