A Review on Abrasive Jet Glass Drilling Machine

Abstract

The paper aims at designing and fabrication of low cost abrasive jet glass drilling machine. Abrasive jet machining is an effective way to cut, abrade, de-burr, de-flash, etch, drill and restore a variety of materials. The abrasive jet machine is a pneumatic device powered by forced air. Applications are made possible with the help of pressurized air and very fine powder mixture in pressure chamber and a powerful abrasive mixture is produced. The abrasive mixture is then sent through the hand piece and nozzle creating a precise abrasive stream. The abrasive jet machine is very easy to use. The hand piece and nozzle have been designed to give the user flexibility and control. As a result, the abrasive jet machine can be used to create precise cuts or intricate patterns on various metals, glass or plastic, whether on the surface of the object or in the hard to reach places that other tools are not flexible enough to reach.
