Glass articles made from laminated glass tubing and systems and methods for converting laminated glass tubing into the glass articles

A system for maintaining the integrity of laminated glass tubing during conversion of the laminated glass tubing into a plurality of glass articles, the system comprising:

• a holder operable to secure the laminated glass tubing, the glass tubing comprising at least a core layer, an inner clad layer, and an outer clad layer, wherein the core layer is under tension and at least one of the inner clad layer and the outer clad layer are under compression;
• a separator operable to separate a glass article from a working end of the laminated glass tubing, wherein separation of the glass article from the working end of the laminated glass tubing exposes a portion of the core layer at the working end of the laminated glass tubing;
• and
• a re-cladding station comprising a trimming station that includes an inner trimming tool and an outer trimming tool, wherein the trimming station is operable to insert the inner trimming tool into the working end of the laminated glass tubing and progressively bring the inner trimming tool and the outer trimming tool into close contact, which causes at least a portion of the inner clad layer, the outer clad layer, or both of the laminated glass tubing to remediate the exposed portion of the core layer and completely enclose the core layer from external sources of surface damage.
