Our range allows customers to find the ideal solution based on the number of sections in their blowing machine.
2 laser cutting configurations by BBK
BBK offers two robust and highly efficient laser cutting configurations, both designed for industrial applications.
Generation 2 Laser Cutting
Widely used with over 70 machines in operation globally.
Utilizes a 2-step thermal shock process:
- Step 1: CO2 laser focuses to create a breach on the glass surface
- Step 2: Laser defocuses to heat the glass, leading to the separation of the finished item from the moil
Followed by:
- Grinding stations for a perfectly flat rim
- Beveling station to bevel the rim
These finishing operations ensure the highest rim quality available on the market.
“BBKleave” Laser Cutting
- Newly introduced on BBK machines using a high-power picosecond laser
- Operates in a 2-step process:
- Step 1: The laser creates “small holes” in the glass
- Step 2: A thermal source (CO2 laser or burners) separates the finished item from the moil
- First Version:
- Features only the “BBKleave” process
- Produces a finished rim without beveling
- Recommended for very thin glass, legs, or intermediate rim quality
- Second Version:
- Combines “BBKleave” with grinding and beveling operations
- Offers flexibility to either use BBKleave alone (no dust or water required) or follow up with grinding/beveling for the best rim quality
For manual production, BBK offers the Compact 6 and Combi 12 machines.
For manual production, BBK offers the Compact 6 and Combi 12 machines.
The Compact 6 incorporates all the processes found in the S machines, including cutting and diamond finishing operations.
The Combi 12 is designed specifically for larger items, providing more grinding positions and reinforced checks to securely handle heavier pieces.
