Resin Wheel

Resin wheels are an essential tool in glass processing machinery, commonly used in the grinding, edging, and polishing stages. These wheels are typically made by bonding abrasive particles (such as diamond or silicon carbide) with a resin binder. They are softer than metal-bonded wheels, which allows for a finer, smoother finish on the glass surface. Resin wheels are highly versatile and are used in various types of glass machinery, including glass edging, beveling, and shaping machines.

Features of Resin Wheels:

Fine Finishing: Resin wheels are excellent for fine grinding and polishing, providing smooth, chip-free edges.

Resin Bonding: The resin bond makes these wheels softer, allowing them to adapt to the glass surface and reduce the risk of glass breakage or damage during processing.

Versatility: Suitable for a range of glass types and thicknesses, resin wheels can be used for flat, bevel, and complex edge shapes.

Durability: While resin wheels wear down faster than metal-bonded wheels, they offer a good balance of longevity and efficiency, particularly in finishing applications.

Applications in Glass Machinery:

Glass Edging Machines: Resin wheels are used for both coarse and fine edging, giving smooth finishes to flat and round edges.

Glass Beveling Machines: After rough grinding with metal-bonded wheels, resin wheels are employed to smooth and polish bevels to a fine finish.

Glass Shape Machines: In machines designed for shaping irregular glass forms, resin wheels help maintain smooth contours.

Advantages of Resin Wheels:

Smooth Finish: Resin wheels offer a superior finish with fewer chips and smoother edges compared to metal-bonded wheels.

Cost-Effective: Resin wheels are generally less expensive than metal-bonded or diamond wheels, especially when used for finishing work.

Flexibility: These wheels can handle a variety of glass types, from thin to thick, and different shapes and sizes, making them a versatile tool in any glass production line.

Resin wheels are integral to the glass finishing process, especially in industries like architectural glass, furniture glass, and mirrors, where a smooth, high-quality finish is crucial.
