Trends in the Global Automotive Glass Industry

As the global economy has continued to recover since the global financial crisis of 2008, global demand for automotive glass has risen from 294 million square meters in 2009 to 415 million square meters in 2013, representing a compound annual growth rate of 9.0%. It is projected that from 2013 to 2018, global demand for automotive glass will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4.9%. By 2018, global demand for automotive glass is expected to reach 528 million square meters. The historical and forecast data for global automotive glass demand during the period shown are illustrated in the figure below. From 2009 to 2013, the global market for automotive glass supplied with new vehicles grew at a rate of 10% per year.

How to Choose a Glass Cutting Machine Correctly

In CNC machinery, CNC equipment for tempering furnaces, edge grinding, cleaning, hollow glass production, and laminating has already achieved mature internationalization. However, fully automatic glass cutting machines—due to factors such as their high speed, exceptional precision, and considerable control complexity—have long been regarded as the simplest-looking yet most challenging glass machinery to operate. Because domestic glass-cutting machine manufacturing started relatively late, market recognition remains low, and given concerns about equipment stability and precision, glass-processing customers often find it difficult to determine how to properly select and position themselves when choosing a fully automatic cutting machine. In today’s era of rapid technological advancement, as labor costs continue to rise—and especially with customers placing ever-higher demands on product precision—

A Quantum Leap for Systems—The PNC3000 System

Life is like a battle fought with the determination to win at all costs. Only by possessing extraordinary strength can we achieve ultimate victory in this battle—and system innovation is no exception. In 2015, Baolun CNC introduced the PNC3000 series of systems, a forward-thinking product that quickly won widespread acclaim from users upon its release. Now, let’s unveil the secrets behind this remarkable system. A key highlight of the PNC3000 system is its adoption of a dual-core processor that is compatible with the entire third-generation CPU lineup, significantly boosting the system’s processing speed. Another notable hardware enhancement is the inclusion of a high-speed solid-state drive, which not only accelerates system boot-up but also enables rapid data reading and writing. The PNC3000 system comes equipped with two gigabit Ethernet ports, effectively resolving the issue of slow communication speeds when dealing with large volumes of data. Thanks to these innovative configurations, the PNC3000 system now finds broader applications—opening up new possibilities in industries such as glass cutting and plasma flame cutting. This marks a new beginning, a fresh journey ahead. We’re setting sail to create even more advanced products for the CNC industry and to write a brighter future for Baolun CNC.
