An apparatus for conveying a substrate includes a base along which the substrate is conveyed, a first upward gas ejecting section, a second upward gas ejecting section and a third upward gas ejecting section disposed over the base, the third upward gas ejecting section being disposed between the first and second upward gas ejecting sections, and a first downward gas ejecting section and a second downward gas ejecting section disposed above and facing respective portions of the third upward gas ejecting section. Gas ejected upward from the first, second and third upward gas ejecting sections floats the substrate. The substrate is subjected to pressure by gas ejected downward from the first and second downward gas ejecting sections. The first and second downward gas ejecting sections are spaced to provide a working area therebetween and through which the substrate is irradiated with a laser beam.

The installation for producing a useful part from a glass pane by processing steps of cutting, breaking and grinding, includes cutting, breaking, and grinding tools, each with an associated device, and also a measuring device for generating measurement signals including a first measured variable and one of a second through fifth measured variable, and a control device with which the measurement signals can be received to form measurement data from the measured variables. The respective measured variable can be detected during the execution of one of the processing steps or specifies a process parameter of a component of the device or defines a state parameter of part of the glass pane. The control device forms correction signals from the measurement data, with which correction signals one of the devices can be controlled in an adapted manner during processing of the glass pane or of a subsequent one.
