The work is devoted to the choice of optimal parameters of laser controlled thermocracking (LСT) when cutting products with a complex curvilinear contour. With this purpose the LCT mathematical model is considered when a laser beam and coolant transfer from a rectilinear site to a non-rectilinear contour with given radius R. The obtained findings allow proper adjustment of LCT modes to ensure a higher quality of cutting the glass.
