The rapid development of intelligent vehicles is reshaping the future automotive human-machine interaction experience through the rapid advancement of 5G and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technologies. Technology, intelligence, and humanization have become new key elements, and the rise of clean energy vehicles further promotes the transition of automobiles towards “intelligence”.
Empowered by AI, intelligent systems are becoming a standard configuration in automobiles, with large and multiple screens, as well as 3D curved displays, gradually becoming the market mainstream. Automotive cover glass, with its excellent characteristics, is widely used in vehicle displays. A high-quality curved display glass can bring the automotive industry an even more exceptional experience.
Glass is characterized by high hardness, corrosion resistance, and high transparency, with excellent physical, chemical, and optical properties that offer extensive application prospects in automotive, electronics, and architectural fields. However, its high hardness and brittleness pose difficulties for processing.
Traditional processing methods involve multiple steps such as wheel cutting, manual breaking, CNC shaping, and edge grinding. These mechanical processes suffer from issues like low efficiency, poor quality, low yield rates, and high costs.
Low efficiency
CNC processing of a single automotive center console cover glass takes as long as 8-10 minutes.
Poor quality
Wheel cutting causes edge chipping >1 mm, while CNC shaping results in edge chipping >200 μm, necessitating extensive edge grinding.
Low yield rates
The yield rate is less than 90%.
High costs
To match production capacity, more CNC equipment, manpower, consumables, and space are required, resulting in high manufacturing costs.
As the industry continues to develop, the automotive display screen sector urgently needs more efficient and intelligent manufacturing technologies to accelerate quality improvement and capacity expansion!
