METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR BREAKING GLASS PANELS

摘要

An apparatus for breaking a glass panel along a score in the glass panel to produce a desired peripheral shape for the glass panel, comprises a support table for supporting a glass panel. A breaking device is positioned with respect to the support table so as to expose the glass panel to a break wave. A breakage condition identifier is connected to the breaking device so as to control the magnitude of the break wave as a function of glass panel specifications, to cause a breakage of the glass panel solely along said score, to produce said desired peripheral shape for the glass panel.
