The results of a joint project by Glaverbel Czech JSC and the Department of Machines and Robots for Glass Production at Liberec University (Czech Republic) are presented. The corrugation test is objectivized for making more accurate quality assessments of float glass directly on the production line. The processes involved in the production of large-size multilayer glass as well as the reasons for and the sources of the cracking and breakup of glass during autoclaving are analyzed. Computer simulation of the deformational characteristics of the racks in the production of large-size multilayer glass has made it possible to perform calculations to optimize and maximize the strength of the rack design.
