---|---|
The desired glass cutting machine is a device that will accurately cut several wafers of glass using a slurry-coated copper wire. The energy efficiency will allow for it to be used economically for low volume production. The Meyer Burger DS 264, the current model, draws too much power, thus requiring a simpler design. The goal of the glass cutting machine project is to define, develop, and design a complete wire saw machine. Improvements must be made to the current design to create a more energy efficient machine by designing a smaller form factor. However, the machine's product must remain the same.. A functional device that meets all customer expectations and needs. Due to the complexity of this project, separate project have been delegated into multiple MSD projects. This specific project deals with providing the ideal slurry spray to the wire with regards to flow rate, temperature, and pressure. Maintaining the slurry consistency while the machine is running and not running is also required. For an updated project description, click on the following link for the Project Readiness Package. |
