During a tour of the plant in Bor, I immediately had a question why the glass is called polished because there is no grinding area in the workshop.
“The fact is that before glass after exiting the furnace, they were polished without fail,” said Vladimir Pertsev, commercial director of the Borsky glass factory. - This process is long and laborious, and the operation itself is dangerous to health. Today, thanks to modern equipment, a glass tape 4 m wide leaves the air-conditioning conveyor without requiring additional mechanical processing.
The factory will be able to make glass for every taste. Building: transparent sheet, color heat-absorbing (green, dark green, gray, bronze), Matelux frosted glass. And also automobile: triplex, tempered, heat-absorbing green glass and even a windshield with current heating. By the way, more than 70% of cars produced in Russia, including UAZ cars, go off the assembly line with glass from the Borsky plant. A wide sale of auto glass to the spare parts market was also organized. What about fakes?

At the Saratov Automobile Component Plant, female labor is widely used. According to managers, a weak half of humanity is preferable for this work, because it requires scrupulousness and accuracy. Especially in the harness manufacturing area, where female hands with jewelry accuracy from wires of different colors and lengths cleverly and quickly weave them into a tourniquet, in this case, for UAZ, female labor is widely used at the Saratov Automobile Components Plant. According to managers, a weak half of humanity is preferable for this work, because it requires scrupulousness and accuracy.

“There is such a problem,” says Vladimir Pertsev. -Master-craftsmen organize handicraft production in clandestine workshops and even manage to fake factory markings. Therefore, there is only one way out - the purchase and installation of glasses should be carried out only at the AG Experts auto-glass replacement centers. True, there are only 17 of them throughout Russia …
Progress is evident
The products of the Bor factory are required to meet all modern safety requirements, for which there are several checkpoints on the site. Tempered glass should break into small chips that do not have sharp edges that can injure a person. For this, the test sample is hit with a core with a diamond tip. Then, in a radius of up to 50 cm from the impact site, the number and size of fragments in the 5 cm2 area are calculated. They should not be less than 45, and the length of each not more than 6 mm.

The second test - a ball weighing 2260 g, which from a height of 4 m falls on the glass. It must hold the ball on the surface after impact for at least 15 seconds. In our case, the ball did not fail - an excellent result.
In the third phase of the experiment, the windshield should hold the person inside the cabin during a frontal impact. To do this, a mannequin weighing 10 kg is suspended, which falls from a height of 1.5 m onto the inside of the “lobovuhi”. It must withstand impact and absorb due to the elastic internal PVB film. If circular cracks spread within a radius of up to 80 cm, and the fragments do not separate from the film, the sample is considered to be conditioned. In our case, the glass passed the exam with a large margin.

The entire range of UAZ comes off the assembly line with boron glasses. Moreover, Nizhny Novgorod glass products are ready to produce heated windshields. There would be a demand. And with the quality of products at the Borsky Zavod everything is in order. We were personally convinced of this. The entire UAZ lineup comes off the assembly line with boron glasses. Moreover, Nizhny Novgorod glass products are ready to produce heated windshields. There would be a demand. And with the quality of products at the Borsky Zavod everything is in order. We have seen this personally
Saratov Plant
Another reliable and significant UAZ supplier is Robert Bosch Saratov. This company, in ancient Soviet times, produced spark plugs, and after it became part of Bosch Corporation in 1996, its product range began to expand rapidly. Today, in addition to spark plugs, the plant produces gasoline injection components supplied to conveyors of Russian and foreign automakers. These are fuel ramps, gasoline pump modules, high pressure fuel pumps (TNVD), wiring harnesses, central injection modules and mass air flow sensors. Moreover, products are used by such automotive leaders as Opel, Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes. Among the leading Russian customers: KamAZ, VAZ, GM - AVTOVAZ, ZIL, YaMZ, ZMZ and UAZ.
Deliveries to the Ulyanovsk plant began back in 2004. So far, only the fuel rail and wiring harnesses go to the conveyor. The question of the quality of these products is no longer standing - it complies with international standards. In addition, quality is ensured by the implementation of the Bosch production system - BPS, embodying the principles of Lean Production - lean manufacturing, aimed at standardizing optimal processes. We had to see her work in practice.

To date, one of the best UAZ subcontracting factories is the Borsky glass factory and the Saratov auto components factory. Today, one of the best UAZ subcontracting factories is the Bor glass factory and the Saratov auto components factory.
Inside look
So, we are at the fuel rail assembly and harness manufacturing site. First impression: I ended up in a huge operating room, and not at the production site - bright daylight, sterile cleanliness and people in blue robes, mostly women. According to managers, a weak half of humanity is preferable for this work, which requires scrupulousness and accuracy. Especially at the harness manufacturing site, where women's hands with jewelry accuracy from wires of different colors and lengths cleverly and quickly weave them into the tourniquet, in this case just for UAZ. Moreover, it is almost impossible to make a mistake in the assembly process - each wiring according to the mounting diameter has its own plug, and the connectors can only be inserted into a place on the fixture stand strictly defined for its size. Here is one example of how a BPS works in action.
The same scrupulous approach is observed in the assembly section of the fuel rail. The process is monitored at every stage, starting with a thorough visual inspection and ending with the packaging of the finished product. Everything is done calmly and without fuss, but dispute. Moreover, the technology even provides pressure testing of the ramp before assembly. However, production (except for the production of spark plugs) is a nodal assembly of components coming from the plants of the concern. And the quality of their products is a priori high. And this is great, because ultimately the consumer wins from such a statement of affairs. That is, we are with you.

Factory History
The history of the Borsky glass factory begins in 1934, when the first batch of glass manufactured by the Furko method was released. The glass mass coming in the form of a continuous tape from the furnace is passed between two rolling rollers and cooled. Then it is cut into separate sheets familiar to us. To date, this method is not used, it was replaced by a more modern - float method. Today this method is used at the Borsky factory, where 1, 200 tons of polished and 1, 4 million machine sets of tempered and laminated glass per year are produced on two lines. The main products of the plant are polished glass, from which automobile windows, mirrors, double-glazed windows and stained-glass windows are made.
