When comparing break-in machine offers, the most confusing technical specification is the number of shafts. The answer to the question "Should I get an 8-shaft or a 12-shaft?" is not in the price, what your production requires<\/strong> hidden.<\/p>\n

What is the purpose of a shaft?<\/h2>\n

In a grinding machine, each spindle carries an abrasive stone. As the glass passes in front of these stones, its edge is gradually processed: the first stones are rough and remove material, the later ones are fine and smooth the surface.<\/p>\n

This is similar to sanding wood. You can't go directly from coarse sanding to a polished surface; you can't skip the intermediate stages. The same is true for glass edges. Therefore... Number of miles = number of stages<\/strong>is.<\/p>\n

Basic equation<\/h2>\n

These three are interconnected; if you change one, you compromise the others:<\/p>\n

It's possible to achieve a bright edge with a low-spindle machine \u2014 but you have to pass the glass through very slowly, because each stone requires more work. If you want the same quality at high speed, you need more spindles, i.e., more steps.<\/p>\n

How many miles, and for what purpose?<\/h2>\n

4-6 miles<\/h3>\n

It is sufficient for deburring and smooth finishing; the edge remains matte.<\/p>\n

Suitable for whom:<\/strong> Manufacturers that only supply insulated glass and tempering lines. Since the edge will remain within the unit, gloss is unnecessary. Paying extra for mileage in this segment is a wasted investment.<\/p>\n

8-10 miles<\/h3>\n

It completes the transition from rough grinding to polishing at a reasonable pace. It is the equilibrium point for most mixed production processes.<\/p>\n

Suitable for whom:<\/strong> Workshops that produce both insulated glass and shower\/furniture glass, with a varied product mix.<\/p>\n

12 miles and above<\/h3>\n

It produces a bright edge at high speed. Since each stage is a short process, the life of the stone is also extended.<\/p>\n

Suitable for whom:<\/strong> Businesses that primarily produce high-volume products with visible edges (shower enclosures, railings, display windows).<\/p>\n

Calculate your own needs.<\/h2>\n

2. How many linear meters of edging do you finish per day?<\/strong> Not square meters, linear meter<\/em> It is important \u2014 because the grinding is done along the edge. The perimeter of a 1x2 m plate is 6 linear meters.<\/p>\n

3. What is the speed of the other units on the line?<\/strong> If your break-in machine can process 4 meters per minute but your washing unit only feeds 2 meters, then the money you're paying for the extra mileage is being wasted. You can read about line balancing here.<\/a>.<\/p>\n
