Laser layout for glass and mirror production

Laser projection can display outlines, fitting locations and assembly guides for glass products and mirror panels.

Projection at the glass production workstation

Glass manufacturers produce partitions, doors, furniture components and bespoke panels. Laser layout helps display design guides on a worktable or a suitable product surface. It can support frequent changes to dimensions and component positions between orders.

Laser drawing projection can provide a light template at a glass workstation when a suitable working surface is available. Laser layout shows installation guides; suitability for a particular glass or mirror requires a sample test.

What projected guidance can do

  • Display of panel and decorative component relationships.
  • Projected positioning guides for fixings and fittings.
  • Sequential assembly assistance and visual component placement checks.

What to consider when choosing a system

Transparent glass and mirrors require a sample test: transmission and reflections can make direct projection unsuitable. A backing or another agreed working surface may be considered. Suitability must be established for the actual texture, coating and workstation conditions.
