〔effect〕

As described above, according to the microscope slide glass manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention, when a large plate glass is fed to the large cutting machine, the cutter cuts a large number of parallel cutting lines, and the edge cutting device cuts both ends of the glass. The edges of the glass are dropped, and then the sheet glass is carried from the large cutting machine to the large splitting machine on the downstream side, where it is sequentially divided into glass strips by splitting rolls, and the divided glass strips are pulled out. The glass strips are sent to a frosting machine for frosting, then passed through a long side polishing machine, sent to a washer and dryer, where they are washed and dried, and then sent to a downstream cutting machine to be washed and dried. The piece is sent in and a cutter cuts many parallel cutting lines, and the selvedge is removed by the selvage device, which is sent to the downstream slicing machine and split into small pieces of glass using split rolls. The long edges of the glass pieces are polished using a long edge polishing machine, and then the four corners are polished using a corner chamfering machine, so it is possible to efficiently manufacture microscope slide glass from large-sized temporary glass. It is suitable for mass production and can significantly reduce costs.

In addition, the cleaning and drying equipment removes deposits that have adhered to the frosting process and dirt that has occurred during sheet glass manufacturing, and the drying after cleaning prevents the cutter of the next process's small cutting machine from slipping due to moisture. You can insert the cutting line accurately.

For post-processing such as polishing each side and chamfering corners,
When shipping without processing, when a large plate glass is fed to a large-sized cutting machine, the cutter cuts many parallel cutting lines, the selvage device removes the edges at both ends, and then the downstream large-sized plate glass is cut into pieces. Plate glass is carried into the machine from a large cutting machine, is divided into glass strips by a splitting roll, and the divided glass strips are pulled out and sent to a frosting machine for frosting, and then washed downstream. The frosted glass strips are sent to a drying machine, where they are washed and dried, and then sent to a cutting machine, where a cutter cuts many parallel cutting lines, and the glass strips with the cut lines are cut into small pieces. Since glass pieces are automatically produced by feeding the glass pieces into a machine and dividing them using a v10-ru, it is possible to eliminate the problems that occur when each process is performed manually.
