Equipment for the logistics of slab-shaped articles comprising one supplying plane of at least one slab-shaped article, one robotic gripping group of the slab-shaped article, a (tangible) movement component/unit/device/machine (or the like) of the gripping group along one direction of movement, a plurality of temporary storage stations of the slab-shaped article, one supporting frame of the slab-shaped article supported as an integral part to the movement component/unit/device/machine, and one unloading station of the supporting frame, wherein the gripping group is adapted to: take the slab-shaped article from the supplying plane, place the slab-shaped article on one of the storage stations, and take the slab-shaped article from one of the storage stations to place it on the supporting frame.

A glass sheet processing apparatus includes a first gantry assembly that extends across a glass sheet in a cross-machine direction. The first gantry assembly includes a processing head that moves along a length of the first gantry assembly and includes a laser comprising an optical arrangement positioned in a beam path of the laser providing a laser beam focal line that is formed on a beam output side of the optical arrangement. A second gantry assembly extends across the glass sheet in the cross-machine direction. The second gantry assembly includes a processing head that moves along a length of the second gantry assembly.

Disclosed herein is an adsorption device that adsorbs battery cells loaded in a loading bin and sequentially removes and transports the battery cells. The adsorption device includes a base plate capable of moving vertically and horizontally; a suction unit coupled to the base plate for adsorbing a battery cell located at a lower part of the base plate; and a push unit coupled to the base plate for striking the battery cell to produce a vibration in the battery cell adsorbed by the suction unit. The push unit includes a rod that is lifted up and down and strikes the top surface of the adsorbed battery cell to the lower end part, and the rod descends by the elastic force of a spring.

A heat chamfering apparatus. A support unit supports a glass panel. A heat chamfering unit heat-chamfers an edge of the glass panel by applying thermal shock thereto. The support unit includes a contact support portion supporting the glass panel while in contact with the glass panel and a base portion configured to support the contact support portion. The contact support portion is formed from a first material. The base portion is formed from a second material. The first material has a smaller change in temperature due to lower thermal conductivity and a smaller change in size at high temperature due to a smaller coefficient of thermal expansion while being more ductile due to lower hardness, compared to the second material. In a heat chamfering method, a glass panel is located on a support unit, and an edge of the glass panel is heat-chamfered by applying thermal shock thereto.
