    • Float Glass Production Line

    Complete line for manufacturing float glass sheets

    Float glass production lines melt raw materials and spread the molten glass over a bed of molten tin, creating smooth, uniform sheets. This method is widely used to produce glass for construction, automotive, and electronic applications. The lines can also handle large formats, with sheet sizes up to 5.3 × 4.9 meters.

    Our Glass Equipment Covers

    The float glass line uses a cutting system that combines blade management and motion control. It works out the best cutting plan in real time based on order details and defect data. Multi-head cutters can handle different glass sizes and switch between cutting bridges when needed, keeping production smooth and stable.

    The electronic glass line uses AI visual inspection to detect defects with 99.5% accuracy. The glass production process is fully automated, reducing manual work and keeping production steady. The production line can also be monitored and optimized remotely through digital twin technology. With these advantages, the line produces ultra-thin electronic glass as thin as 0.12 mm on a stable basis.

    Visual inspection systems check the glass in real time and can spot defects such as bubbles or scratches. Smart algorithms cut down on false results, and high-precision sensors keep track of size and thickness. When combined with production data, it ensures the glass meets quality standards and makes it easier to spot problems quickly.
