How to cut fiberglass

There are a variety of methods for cutting fiberglass, including the use of vibratory knife cutters, laser cutting, and mechanical cutting. Below are several common cutting methods and their characteristics:
1. Vibrating Knife Cutting Machine: Vibrating Knife Cutting Machine is a safe, green and efficient cutting equipment for glass fiber cutting. It adopts blade cutting technology with ±0.01mm cutting accuracy, no heat source, no smoke, no pollution, no scorched edges and no loose edges. The advantages of this method include no burnt, no sticky edges, no discoloration, no dust, no odor, and smooth and flat edges without secondary trimming. In addition, the vibratory knife fiberglass cutting machine can work continuously for a long time, dramatically improving the cutting efficiency.
2. Laser cutting: Laser cutting is a highly efficient cutting method for fiberglass materials of various shapes and thicknesses. Laser cutting is characterized by high precision and high efficiency, which can meet the customer’s demand for small-lot and multi-style production. Laser cutting machines are usually equipped with high-power lasers and sophisticated control systems to achieve fast and high-quality cutting.
3. Mechanical cutting: Mechanical cutting usually uses diamond or emery tools to take advantage of the low tensile stress mechanical properties of glass fibers by applying scars to the material surface. This method is applicable to fiberglass materials of varying thicknesses, including thinner materials cut with a glass cutter and thicker materials cut with a diamond saw.
In summary, the choice of cutting method depends on the specific application requirements, material properties and production environment. Vibrating knife cutters are suitable for applications requiring high precision and environmental requirements, laser cutting is suitable for complex shapes and highly efficient production environments, while mechanical cutting is suitable for mass production and specific material handling.
