The working cycle is fully automated, with the numerical control (NC) system managing every aspect of the process. It detects the incoming glass, regulates the transport feed, adjusts for glass dimensions and thickness, controls the wheel removal rate and feed speed, and compensates for wheel wear. A key benefit of the Chiara Multiflex is its ability to apply different finishes to each side of the same glass piece. For example, one side can be polished, another ground, a third with only arrises, and the fourth with a clean score.

The CNC system is capable of using peripheral tools to perform edge operations such as small cutouts, edge incisions, and rounded corners, including polishing.

2 HEADS (H1/H2)

Glass is transported via belts to the zero position (Z1). Once aligned, head H1 processes the leading edge while head H2 handles the trailing edge. Both heads then rotate 90° to grind the longitudinal edges. During this operation, a second piece of glass can be loaded onto the buffer area C2. Each side of the glass can be finished differently based on specific requirements.

HEAVY MODEL

The machine features four heads, with two dedicated to each piece of glass. The glass is transported by belts to the zero position (Z1). Once aligned, head H1 works on the leading edge while head H2 processes the trailing edge. Both heads then rotate 90° to grind the longitudinal edges. Meanwhile, a second piece of glass can be loaded onto the buffer area C2 and processed by heads H3 and H4.
