Beam Glass Tempering
Beam Glass Tempering
The Gyrotron Beam can be focused in the midplane to control its temperature on the necessary level at the necessary stage of the tempering process. This creates the possibilities for tempering thin glass (less that 2mm) and thick glass without waving.
Advantages of the Gyrotron Beam Tempering:
- Glass without roller marks and waviness can be produced
- 20% reduction in preheat energy requirement
- 40% reduction in quench energy costs
- Processing time reduced by 35%
- Less distortion due to lower temperature and shorter cycle
