Cutting fluid plays a key role in the cutting process. As a manufacturer of glass cutting wheels for CNC glass cutting machinery, Bohle understands the importance of glass cutting fluid and the role it plays in the glass cutting process. Referred to as the “Bohle glass cutting system,” the process includes selection of the proper glass cutting wheel; the technical understanding of the correct operating parameters for the CNC machine; and the proper glass cutting fluid.
A high-quality glass cutting fluid will minimize the friction between the cutting wheel and the axle and wheel holder and thus enable a longer service life. It also maintains the temporary tension induced into the glass during the scoring (cutting) process and chemically helps create the fissure. Being able to reduce cutting pressure will lead to less damage to the glass surface, much improved edge strength, and better edge quality, vastly reducing any additional post cutting processing time. The cutting fluid will also bind even the finest glass particles during the cut, preventing consequential damage in the downstream processes.
By using the appropriate evaporating or washable cutting fluid for a customer’s specific application, the cutting fluid will remain on the scoreline until the glass is broken out. Combined with the usage of high-purity raw materials and the appropriate quality inspections the Bohle cutting fluids not only leas to excellent quality, but also ensure a stable production process.
It’s also critical that the fluid doesn’t attack any soft or hard coatings applied to glass. None of this is true of using petroleum based cutting oils, but sadly, for many glass processors in the Gulf region, there was little choice because of difficult availability and accessibility to the correct cutting fluid solutions.
But no longer, new partnership agreements are being developed to significantly support the float glass and flat glass processing manufactures in the Gulf region, with the first stockist, Manna Glass Group in Riyadh, taking in its first significant stock for distribution in Saudi Arabia.
The Bohle evaporating products have also been approved by many glass manufacturer / processors for use on their coated glass products.
In addition to its performance benefits, Bohle’s Silberschnitt product is biodegradable and allergen-free, truly meeting its environmental commitment.
Partnership with Manna Glass Group
Bohle has had a trusted relationship with Manna Glass Group, based in Riyadh and operating over 40 branches across the Kingdom, for many years.
“We’ve taken our partnership to a new level and Manna will supply the Silberschnitt products alongside its long-standing distribution of the Bohle Veribor range and premium glass hardware” explained Christoph Schmidt, Executive Vice President Sales.
