The disclosure discloses a manufacturing method of tempered vacuum glass. At least one glass substrate constituting the tempered vacuum glass is reserved with an extraction opening, and the manufacturing method comprises the following steps: (1) manufacturing metalized layers, and performing tempering or thermal enhancement on the glass substrates; (2) placing a metal solder on the metalized layers; (3) superposing the glass substrates; (4) heating the overall glass substrates to 60-150° C.; (5) hermetically sealing the glass substrates under the condition of ensuring the heating temperature; (6) heating; (7) vacuumizing; and (8) closing the extraction opening, thus accomplishing the manufacturing process. The manufacturing method in the present disclosure can greatly reduce the stress when the two glass substrates are sealed, improve the soldering strength and prolong the service life of the tempered vacuum glass. The disclosure further discloses a tempered vacuum glass production line based on the above manufacturing method.

A foam spacer applicator may include: a conveyer unit configured to automatically transfer a glass panel; a foam head unit disposed at a predetermined distance from the front side of the conveyer unit, and configured to automatically supply and bond a spacer to the glass panel transferred from the conveyer unit through a combination of an X-axis horizontal operation and a Y-axis elevation operation through an elevation guide plate disposed with a vertical structure; and a magazine unit disposed at a predetermined distance from the rear side of the foam head unit, and configured to inject and apply a sealant to both surfaces of the spacer while adjusting tension of the spacer, and automatically supply the spacer to the foam head unit.

A panel support and panel processing system that provides a single frame assembly for use on a panel processing line in transporting and installing panels, such as glass panels, the frame assembly having a frame with at least one hook that engages a carrier on a processing line to move the frame from one station to the next, and that enables lifting and stacking of multiple frames for transport to and installation at a building site without having to remove the panel, such as a glass panel, from the frame, at which point the frame and panel assembly are secured in situ.

Various embodiments provide a method for applying a spacer to a planar substrate, comprising supplying the spacer to be adhered to the planar substrate; defining a first notch, a second notch, and a third notch in the spacer; applying an adhesive to the spacer; translating the spacer in a longitudinal direction; aligning a first end of the spacer with a first corner of the planar substrate; feeding the spacer and the planar substrate between a front carriage and a rear carriage along a longitudinal axis of an unadhered portion of the spacer while pressing the spacer against the planar substrate to adhere a portion of the spacer being pressed by the front carriage to the planar substrate, and rotating, with a six-axis robot, the planar sheet and adhered portion of spacer.

A device for unloading insulating glass from a production line has a support frame and a manipulator frame arranged on the support frame and having a manipulator plane provided with a matrix of suction cups adapted to achieve adhesion of the insulating glass to the manipulator plane, and brackets for supporting the insulating glass. Each bracket is movable between a retracted position, where the bracket does not protrude or has minimal protrusion from the manipulator plane, and an extracted position, where the bracket has maximum protrusion from the manipulator plane. A movable abutment moves in a direction substantially parallel to the brackets and interacts with the brackets by a first contact portion of an operating surface to push the brackets towards the retracted position so that the brackets assume a given protrusion with respect to the manipulator plane between the retracted and extracted positions.
