Abstract:
Embodiments of the present method of laser cutting a laser wavelength transparent glass article comprises feeding at least one glass article to a pulsed laser assembly having at least one pulsed laser, wherein the pulsed laser defines a laser beam focal line with a length of 0.1-100 mm, the glass article being comprised of two end sections, and at least one lateral surface disposed lengthwise between the end sections. The method further comprises laser cutting at least one perforation line onto the lateral surface of the glass article while there is relative motion between the glass article and the pulsed laser and separating the glass article along the at least one perforation line to yield a laser cut glass article.

Abstract:
A glass tube cleaning and cutting device and a method for same configured to cut a continuous glass tube at a predetermined length by intermittently contacting a cutting blade with the outer circumference surface of the continuously travelling continuous glass tube formed by tube pulling while blowing air to impose scratches and thermal shock on the outer circumference surface of the continuous glass tube so as to obtain a plurality of cut-off glass tubes, the glass tube cleaning and cutting device includes: a blower provided on a more downstream side of the travelling continuous glass tube than the cutting blade, the blower being configured to blow opposing air opposed to air into a tip end opening of the continuous glass tube.
Abstract:
A process for stably producing a glass shaped material as a base material for a crystallized glass material, which includes casting a molten glass into a through hole of a mold, the through hole having a straight central axis, said central axis being vertical or slanted relative to a horizontal, and shaping the molten glass into a rod-like glass shaped material as a base material for a crystallized glass material.
Abstract:
The invention seeks to provide a method of producing slices, such as semiconductor wafers, from a rod-like ingot, which does not require any cutting margin for slicing so that less material is consumed, and also is free from warping or denatured layer of the slices, as well as being free from operating environment deterioration with high quality. A cylindrical ingot is obtained by cutting or grinding the outer periphery of a rod-like ingot, and it is then formed with a plurality of annular grooves at a predetermined pitch in its longitudinal direction to obtain a cylindrical work with annular grooves. The work is then severed in the section defined by the bottom of each annular groove by generating a stress in excess of the rupture strength of the slice in the groove.After the heating of the cylindrical work with annular grooves, the under-process end face of the work is suitably cooled quickly by cooling water jet from a jet nozzle from the outer periphery toward the center of the work.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a working method for the automatic bursting-off and grinding of the edges of glasses, particularly automatically manufactured shaft or stemmed glasses as discharged from the glass blowing automaton upon attaching the stem including the base or foot, as well as an automatic machine for carrying out such method.
