Abstract
When decoating a glass panel (3), a decoating tool (6) with a circular-cylindrical grinding element (8) is used, which element is set to rotate around its axis. In the end face of the grinding element (8) that is used when the active face (9) is decoated, a hole (10) and at least one radial groove (11) are provided. The decoating tool (6) is placed at a spot (A) on the glass panel (3) in a movement (arrow 13) that is oriented at an acute angle to the plane of the glass panel (3), which lies between the ends (B) and (C) of the strip-shaped decoating area (14) and moves first to the one end (B) (arrow 15) and then to the other end (C) (arrow 16) in order to strip coating from the glass panel (3) in the decoating area (14).
Claims15
A method for decoating a glass panel, comprising:
- placing a decoating tool on a surface of the glass panel at a spot that is offset from ends of the glass panel inside an area of the glass panel that is to be decoated, so that the decorating tool does not lie at an end of the area of the glass panel that is to be decorated;
- moving the decoating tool up to a first end of the ends of the glass panel;
- and then
- moving the decoating tool in an opposite movement relative to the glass panel up to a second end of the ends of the glass panel, so that an initial area of the glass panel that is to be decoated is covered twice, wherein
- the decoating tool comprises a grinding element with a generally round active face that is concentric to an axis of rotation that passes through a center hole in the active face.
