| The objective of this study is to understand the response of laminated glass under high-rate bending in the laboratory at rates representative of blast loading.
| Robots are finding their way into the flat glass industry, improving not only process reliability but also product quality. But where exactly are they being used and what specific advantages do they offer?
| Different cooling systems are tested against a standard coolant system in a series of experiments. Their performance in terms of edge surface roughness and grinding wheel wear is being compared.
| Glass tempering is a process that can be made in many ways to get tempered glass that meets the standards. The selected way is usually chosen by the operator and is almost always based on experience instead of science.
| What are the real benefits that robotics, the IOT (Internet of Things) and the Automatic machines can bring to glass grinding?
| Digitalization of machines requires standardized language for machine communication – and OPC UA is the perfect choice.
| Investigations of different positions of the sphere and the satellite and their effect on stress distribution are studied. Both, experimental observations and computational FEM simulations are compared.
