AI Technical Summary
Existing glass forming tools face inefficiencies due to the need for lubricant application and cooling pauses, leading to defects and production downtime, as well as issues with lubricant burning and insufficient lubrication causing friction marks and thermal checks.
The forming tools incorporate a fluid cavity for lubricant application and a thermally conductive insert for heat dissipation, allowing continuous operation with controlled lubrication and temperature regulation.
This solution ensures precise lubrication and effective heat management, reducing defects and increasing production efficiency by eliminating downtime and maintaining tool cleanliness.
