Company Profile

Cut Glass Tube & Rod

CIT provides two very different types of cutting methods:

cut glass tube and  rod

Diamond Saw Cutting Using CIT Machines and Wet Process 

The saw cutting is done using thin diamond wheels ganged together on and arbor.  The lubricant being used in this process is water.  This is a high speed high volume process.  This process is capable of cutting both tubing and cane. 

Most commonly types of glass CIT cuts with this process are:

  • KG-12
  • Corning 8870 or equivalent
  • G. E. or Osram 772
  • Osram SG-80
  • G. E. 180
  • 7740 Pyrex
  • High lead glass type 2795
  • EN-1
  • SG-773
  •  Schott 8487

Typical tolerances for this process are:

  • The tubing or cane length for the cutting is 13.5” or 343 mm.  CIT can cut longer length tubing down to this required length.
  • The outside diameter of the tubing or cane runs from .045” (1.143 mm) to .150” (3.810 mm)
  • The length of the cut part can run form .060” (1.524 mm) to 4.0” (101.60 mm)
  • Tolerance of  the length runs from .002” (0.050 mm) to .005” (0.127 mm).  The outside diameter, inside diameter and length of the part being cut will determine this tolerance.
  • Product is cleaned using our automatic washer, DI rinse tank, and centrifugal dryer.

Score, Snap and Polish using CIT Machines

Finished product can be furnished with a fire polished (glazed) ends or as cut.  This process is better suited for hard types of glass.

Typical types of glass CIT cuts with this process are:

  • G. E. and Osran 772
  • Osram 773
  • 7740 Pyrex

Typical tolerance for this process are:

  • Outside diameter from .050” (1.270 mm) to .200” (5.08 mm)
  • The length range is from 2.0” (50.80 mm) to 54’ (1371.60 mm)
  • Typical tolerance for length will range form .010” (0.254 mm) to .030” (0.762 mm)
  • Fire polish can be performed per customer requirements

Statistical process control used on all critical parameters.

Bar coding and vacuum packing is available.
