How It's Made-Windshields

[@Ostsol]

@tgroscoe Yeah, PGW actually gets alot of their glass from China (Xinyi Glass and Fuyao Group) and Mexico, now. Pilkington's bulk producer of glass is in Mexico, sometimes Crinamex, though they do have a Canadian plant. Crinamex also produces some Mopar parts. Carlite (Ford brand) is split between US- and Mexican-made glass.

Thanks a lot for the post, great description.

[@bugjuicer]

so they stress test every windshield..?? How do they buff that out?

[@Sh4k4lul]

DEY TUK IS JOoBBBBBB!!

[@VetteAholicZ06]

Very interesting video. Also, DERKA DUR DURRR

[@micahsun2316]

Nice!

[@superkimmy98]

i love this show

[@mibars]

Ha! 4:30 This guy is looking for scratches, chips and contamination, but NOT for deformations :) So that's why whole batch of windshields for my car from a renomed manufacturer were sooo distorted!

[@bigpopparand1]

PGW lol made in china :P

[@illustriouschin]

Yeah that is what I thought. The board went through the windshield but the rest of the windshield stayed intact. If that was not shatterproof glass the entire windshield would have been sent flying into the passenger cabin in large shards. The windshield was working as designed. If you do not like the term 'shatterproof' then perhaps you could think up a better name for it.

[@Toofwess]

In the video, the autoclave is characterized as "a giant pressure cooker". Are windshields laminated under pressure, or vacuum? Or are there different processes? I would think a vacuum would be needed to remove any air bubbles - but then how would that help press the glass together if they are not vacuumed in bags?

[@AcidGambit419]

I believe it is a vaccum

[@Monster231085]

what's the name of the robotic transfer tool used to pick and place the windshield at 2:33 min on this video?

[@PashaSiraja]

I have a question, why do they put the film between 2 glass sheets ? the glass will still have place to fall off right ? why don't they take 1 glass sheet and put the limination on both sides of it ?? isn't that easier, cheaper and better cause the glass can't fall out ?

[@rax7]

holy cow, that thing cut glass fast.

[@Denamic]

THEY TOOK HIS JOOOOB

[@wooite]

when is the cornstarch added?

[@yamy82xl]

[@radbot1]

DEE TUK UR DUUUURRRRRP!

[@doubledarefan]

Widescreen vid smushed into fullscreen.

[@minorpayne23]

@LFcool15 Theeeeeeeeeeyyyy took errrr jeeeeeeerrb!!!!!

[@enginemodify]

so your job was moving pieces of glass around all day?

[@Ostsol]

@ninjajesus81 Until windshield replacement and distribution is also replaced by robots, at least one human ultimately inspects every single piece of glass that goes into a vehicle. At least, that's the case with any reputable shop.

[@SaiVihtooMyint]

Stranger: Hey what do you do? Guy: Sit on a chair and check glass....

[@GTechno13]

That's why you be like me and go to school to make the robots that take the jobs!

[@PashaSiraja]

O_O !! thanx !! =D thank you man, i needed to know ! =] tke cre pce out =D

[@demetcanbey]

@LFcool15 you can work at inspection

[@Gage48326]

Too bad they didn't show more about the electronic check fixtures used for process control and geometric tolerancing.

[@illustriouschin]

Sorry for saying "shards" instead of "squares." Also, sorry for saying "sailing through" instead of "into."

[@PashaSiraja]

@originaldarrkon cool ty ;p

[@ninjajesus81]

@shfbdfi1273 That windshield inspector guy probably won't have a job for very much longer. We'll just get cameras to feed the visual information into a computer and the computer can automatically detect any problems with the windshield. Better than a human could do, too.

[@EvanJS5]

4:33 don't be fooled! that human is actually a robot!

[@illustriouschin]

LINK?

[@illustriouschin]

'Shatterproof' as in it will not send two-foot shards of glass sailing through your body like the old tempered glass windshields did.

[@afroshined]

de tooka jerrrrr

[@ExterminateFX]

Everytime they say "Washes with soap and water" I think fairy liquid.

[@legocontrollerjr]

oh so as in that if a 2x4 goes through your windshield your windshield won't explode.

[@nninflames19]

Dey Tuk Our Jerb!

[@PashaSiraja]

@autoneeds1 oh yes ! ^_^ ;p ty

[@CssFade]

I don't think I can see myself doing this job.

[@legocontrollerjr]

[@wallnoises]

[@codyb226]

@heydud11 True story bro!

[@afroshined]

de toooke jjaaaaa

[@meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee916]

That "no" wasn't supposed to be there

[@mandymae142]

lol they say "It is viewed by a human" like its unusual because robots are doing all the jobs..

[@marespand]

@shfbdfi1273 I used to wire up the robots that stole your job..... ya win some ya loose some

[@doormagic]

With the robots to do all the work is difficult to does not exist unemployment.

[@candoslayer]

they can take jobs but they also make new jobs just how it goes

[@heydud11]

for a second I wondered why this video had no sound. then I remembered the last thing I watched was porn

[@wakawakasplat]

5:13 ohhh stress defects, i thought she said swastikas

[@LFcool15]

@shfbdfi1273 THEY TOOK YURR JOOBBBBBB

[@Moroboi]

@shfbdfi1273 The guy who made those robots stole your job.

[@SubOhm84]

they would never use toughened laminated glass for windshield, toughened glass would just splatter your face

[@fdjizm]

They derk er jerb :(
