System configuration
Components: Computer, control cabinet, power control cabinet, loading table, heating section, coating section, cooling section, unloading table

Process sequence
1. Glass loading: The flat glass is placed on the loading table and transported into the heating section.
2. Heating: In the heating section, the glass is uniformly heated to high temperatures.
3. Coating: After heating, a special coating is applied in the coating section.
4. Cooling (annealing): In the cooling section, the glass is cooled evenly and slowly to reduce internal stress.
5. Glass unloading: The processed glass is conveyed to the unloading table and removed.
