THE CHIARA MULTIFLEX IS AN AUTOMATIC, NUMERICALLY CONTROLLED MACHINE DESIGNED FOR PRECISION GRINDING AND HIGH-QUALITY POLISHING. IT PROCESSES FLAT EDGES AND ARRISES ON ALL SIDES OF THE GLASS, EVEN WHEN THE GLASS IS OUT OF SQUARE, UTILIZING A PATENTED SYSTEM
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.
Grinding Heads
The four grinding heads are mounted on the main frame’s four controlled axes, supporting a total of 8 grinding and polishing wheels. Each spindle is automatically adjusted to accommodate the glass thickness and compensate for wheel wear.
Comprehensive Head Configuration: Diamond and Polishing Wheels with Optional 45° Corner Dubbing System
Each head includes: 2 diamond wheels and 2 polishing cup wheels for flat edges.
2 diamond wheels and 2 polishing cup wheels for arrises.
Additionally, as an option, it features a 45° wheel for a corner dubbing system, which is suitable for angles less than 100°
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.
A vrsatile CNC System that Performs Edge Operations and Polishing with Peripheral Tools
The CNC system is capable of using peripheral tools to perform edge operations such as small cutouts, edge incisions, and rounded corners, including polishing.
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.
