Architectural and decorative glass, internal cut-outs and shaped holes — cut cold, without introducing thermal stress into the pane.
Glass fails at the edge, so the cutting method matters more than the pattern. A scored or thermally cut pane starts with an edge that already carries stress, and every later handling step works on that edge. Abrasive waterjet cuts the pane with a cold, narrow kerf, so the geometry of the part — including internal cut-outs and shaped holes — is cut in one operation before the glass is touched again.
Glass is cut at an indicative maximum of up to 40 mm on Yuanli 5-axis platforms. Laminated and tempered glass behave differently at the cut, and tempered panes are normally cut before toughening, so send us the build-up of the pane and we will confirm the configuration.
Straight 2D shapes, panels and repeated parts where the cut stays vertical and the priority is a consistent edge.
Bevels, chamfers and complex contours in one setup, for shaped panels and edge details that would otherwise need a second operation.
For shops handling large panes and mixed work on one table, where the flip platform helps with loading and positioning.
Cold abrasive waterjet introduces no thermal stress into the pane. Where a laser or a flame route heats the cut zone and leaves a stressed edge behind, abrasive waterjet removes the material with water and abrasive at low temperature, so the cut face is produced without a heat-affected zone and without the annealing step that a thermal edge can require.
The method only applies within the configurations it is designed for: suitable machine set-up and cutting pressures are selected for the glass build-up, the thickness and the finish you are working to. Tell us what you are cutting and we will confirm the configuration and the pressure range for your job.
Tell us the pane build-up, the thickness and the shapes you need. We can cut a sample from your own material so you can check the edge before the order.
