APIO® WheelThe APIO® wheel has been developed to scribe different types

of glass with improved yield and even higher edge strength.

APIO® stands for “All Purpose In One”.

Features:

No slipping when rolling on glass from the edge

or at scribe line crossing points due to special grinding

Wide scribing range (wide process window)

High glass edge strength

Stable long lifetime

Tungsten carbide and diamond wheels available

Penett® WheelDue to its patented wheel structure with small notches along the

burr, the Penett® wheel creates a very deep median crack of up to

90% of the glass thickness, which effectively simplifies or even

eliminates the breaking process.

Features:

applicable for a wide glass thickness range and other brittle

materials beside glass

easy separation of free shapes or laminated substrates

Services

Job ShopsMDI offers you processing and cutting of small batches of glass and other brittle materials according to your requirements by wheel or laser technology.

CO2 Laser Cutting:

We offer laser scribing and breaking of flat glass resulting in glass blanks with a scribing accuracy of ± 25 µm, a zero clearance and no micro cracks, which make further processing steps such as washing, grinding and polishing needless.

Processing by 532nm Laser (“Green Laser”):

We offer drilling, cutting and patterning on one and the same machine. In most cases we can refrain from handling as all process steps can be performed with one tool.

Wheel Cutting:

Scribing and breaking of flat glass with our patented APIO® and Penett® wheel technologies.

Analysis and Measuring:

Software-based analysis and electronical measurement of substrates up to 300 mm x 400 mm with an accuracy of ± 3µm.

Bending Tests:

3- and 4-point-bending tests for evaluation of edge strength;bending force up to 10 kN.
