VueSafe 11.52 SGP Destructive Testing

FGS Glass made a test rig to test our Custom Toughened Lam to the Australian Standards. When we realised the tests were not going to be a challenge, we tried to crank it up.

The tests call for a 46kg Leadshot Bag to be swung into the Laminate from 300mm. This didn’t cause any problems, so we kept lifting the weight until be maxed out the Test Rig at a height of 1500mm. Once we realised that even from 1500mm the VueSafe stayed in one piece, we decided to score the rear pane of glass to make it break. This test caused a great fragmentation point but the front pane of glass remained in tact. So we also broke the front pane, so that only the 1.52 piece of interlayer would be active in the test. Even with both pieces of glass broken, the interlayer totally deflected the 46kg lead weight.

Lam Line Goes Live

The new FGS Lamination Line went live early in March. This launch was 8 months in the making and has ran very smoothly. We spent a lot of time agonising about how we would be able to produce notoriously difficult Toughened Lam, to an industry high standard. We eventually managed to secure a partner that was producing very high end edge finish and was willing to share their IP. This gave us the confidence to purchase the line knowing we would be able to manufacture excellent Toughened Lam

The new line was commissioned early March and from the first week, was producing high quality edge finished Lam. We have been extremely happy with the investment and think it will greatly improve the quality of glass available to our Victorian Customers.

If you are interested in finding out more about our Lam capabilities, please give Mark Atley a call. Mark is the Technical Lam Manager and will help walk you through the Lamination process.
