Glass cutting is a fundamental step in sizing the substrate needed for FPD and should produce a cut with good edge quality. Recently, laser cutting and scribe wheel cutting method has used to cut glass substrate However, both of methods have occurred some problems. For example laser cutting occurred thermal shock, thermal defeat edge of section in cutting process the wheel cutting method occurred cracks and sharp edges of sections in cutting process. This study provided the required flexibility to implement the laser and scribe wheel cutting process on the glass substrates. Data acquisition, data management, instrument control and motion control performed on a single platform(the PC)allowed the relatively easier implementation of test to determine the appropriate sets of condition to cut glass substrates successfully. Union cutting system(laser+scribe wheel)was performed on glass substrates and it can be cutting successfully on soda-lime glass.
