Hi everyone,

We have bought a new vertical straight-line glass edging machine but are having some issues with the diagonals of rectangular glasses, i.e. the diagonals are not equal. Is there anyone who can help out with this (rather easy to solve) issue?

Thanks,

Hello, I was hoping to get some professional opinions regarding glass issues at a construction project. We are a painting contractor that has blame being placed on them for scratched glass on tempered windows. The replacement is highly expensive so I was hoping to get some addition thoughts. One of the first things we do is cover the windows with 1.5" tape and then poly off the glass. After we were done and windows were uncovered, these scratches appeared (see attached photo).

Hello, I am a mechanical engineer with some special machinery design knowledge, I want to learn about glass industry machines, I have just know this world, and it seems really interesting. Could someone advice me how can I learn about glass industry machinery design? Where can I get technical info? Some interesting books? Thank you very much! 

Any recommendation which country has the best quality of the glass?

Please comment.

Can anyone recommend a cutting machine and a polish machine to cut the glass and mirror?

Hi, I would like to understand why self breakage occurred when the glass has gone through the tempered head soak process?

The panel of glass I had previously supplied had occurred a self breakage. Strangely the glass fin which is joint by the sealant was also had a self breakage issue. Why is this so? 

Hi everyone, this is my first post on this forum.

I'm a mechanical engineer at Dialum S.A. a glass manufacturer company in Chile. Here we receive crude glass and process it to the final costumer and bring them all kind of windows and doors, from simple pulish glass to anti-huracan dvh with tempered laminated glass.

In this opportunity I'm writing here to discuss with you guys a problem I'm working on at the company. It concerns to the laminated glass line. Specifically at the de-airing zone.

I am contemplating replacing Lexan panels on a patio cover with tempered glass and need a reasonable starting point for the spans allowed by various thicknesses of the glass.  My spans are approx. 4ft between continuous frames and load lengths of approx. 50" and 80".  Any accessible calculators on line or knowledgeable suggestions welcomed. Wind zone is 120mph, no high exposure rating. Thanks
