Variable angle straight line edging machines
These straight line edging machines can carry out flat edge + seams, but also a variable angle(and bright polished for a lot of machines).
With only one machine you can edge, carry out a variable angle and even for some machines have both in one time on the same glass.
Before to invest in such straight line edging machines the first question is to calculate how many variable angle you have to do, if you don’t keep or you don’t have a traditional edging machine.
Because even if such a straight line edging machine is perfectly able to carry out a bright flat edge, these machines are less easy to adjust, are more important and more expensive. Moreover the minimal dimensions are generally more important than with a traditional straight line edging machine.
There are 2 different kinds of straight line edging machines for variable angle. The first one is able to carry out flat edge + variable angle on the same edge in 2 times. The other one in only one time.
The main differences between these straight line edging machines are:
-Maximum thickness (for laminated glass)
-The minimum dimensions (there are big differences for this data between the straight line edging machines available on the market)
-The speed
-The possibility to carry out flat edge + variable angle in one or two times.
If you use straight line edging machine with variable angle for UV glue, be very careful about the angle accuracy.
The minimal wheels number for such a machine is 9 wheels.
-2 diamond wheels
-2 polishing wheels
-1 bright wheel
The width to polish for a variable angle is more important than for an edge. So you need more polishing wheels to have a good quality/speed result.
-1 diamond wheel and 1 polishing wheel for each arise. Because you need to adjust the seams width with the glass thickness to obtain an attractive result.
If you need this machine only for UV gluing (without polishing) you can choose a machine withless wheels.
