Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass processing technology, and in particular to a coating production line. Background Technology

[0002] Glass is an amorphous solid with an irregular structure, widely used in buildings for wind insulation and light transmission. After glass is manufactured, a coating is usually applied to its surface. This coating protects the glass, increasing its impact resistance and preventing it from shattering into smaller fragments instead of sharp shards when it breaks. However, currently, the coating and cutting processes are performed separately, requiring manual handling. Improper force can easily cause the glass to break, resulting in high labor intensity and safety. Furthermore, the cutting step also relies on manual labor, leading to low production efficiency.
