Method and device for applying cutting fluid in a glass-cutting device

摘要

The invention relates to a method for applying cutting fluid in a glass-cutting device, in which a cutting tool is moved over a glass pane along a predetermined cutting line, and the tool simultaneously feeds a cutting fluid and applies it to the cutting track scratched in in accordance with the cutting line, as well as to a device for carrying out this method. In order for the application of fluid to the cutting track scratched into the glass by the cutting tool to be on the one hand sufficient, prevent the cut from ageing and be uniform, without too much cutting fluid being applied when the rate of feed is reduced (curves, radii) and hence resulting in unnecessary consumption, which in addition has the consequence of increased outlay on cleaning and disposal, the invention proposes that the quantity of cutting fluid fed be essentially proportional to the rate of feed of the cutting tool. A device suitable for carrying out the method proceeds from an arrangement which has a cutting tool (3) which is mounted in a holder and can be moved over a glass surface (6), with a line (2) for the feed of the cutting fluid to the cutting tool (3), an adjusting member (4), which measures the flow rate and can be set to a desired value, being provided in the line (2). The invention proposes in this case that the adjusting member (4) by ... Original abstract incomplete. <IMAGE>
