A device for holding and capable of conveying a sheet of glass includes a holder intended to support the sheet of glass, in particular in a substantially horizontal position, wherein the device includes a surround including a plurality of support elements which are able to support the sheet of glass locally.

A gripping device (10) for sheet-shaped elements (L) comprising: at least one longitudinal bar (20) adjustable in length and provided with a plurality of suction gripping members (30) connected along a longitudinal axis (A) of the longitudinal bar (20).

A method for separating and transporting a glass sheet from a glass ribbon includes drawing the glass ribbon along a draw path in a conveyance direction, scoring the glass ribbon with a scoring device, to produce a score line across at least a portion of a width of the glass ribbon, engaging a first edge of the glass ribbon at a first position downstream of the score line in the conveyance direction with a first robotic handling device, engaging a second edge of the glass ribbon at a second position downstream of the score line in the conveyance direction with a second robotic handling device, and synchronously moving the first robotic handling device and the second robotic handling device to bend the glass ribbon about the score line and separate the glass sheet from the glass ribbon.

In a wafer storage container, a first ring and a second ring are stacked alternatively in a vertical direction. A wafer delivery device is provided with a first ring support and a second ring support. The first ring support includes a first support piece fixed at the vertical position and a first driving mechanism to drive the first support piece. The first driving mechanism is selectively switchable among a first state, a second state, and a third state. In the first state, the first support piece overlaps with the first position in a plan view. In the second state, the first support piece overlaps with the second position in a plan view. In the third state, the first support piece does not overlap with the first and the second positions in a plan view.

A contact lens retrieving method is applied to a contact lens, which is placed in a detection container containing a buffer solution and has been inspected in an optical detection. The method comprises steps:

moving a vacuum sucker into the buffer solution at a first speed to make the contact lens depart from the lateral side of the detection container; moving the vacuum sucker away from a bottom of the detection container at a second speed with the vacuum sucker not leaving the buffer solution to make the contact lens flow toward a center of the detection container;

moving the vacuum sucker to approach the contact lens at a third speed to make the vacuum sucker and the contact lens positioned to each other; and using the vacuum sucker to take up the contact lens and carry the contact lens out of the detection container.

A substrate transporting apparatus including a carrier that is configured to support a substrate to be processed. A plurality of holes are disposed within the carrier, each hole extending from a first surface to a second surface of the carrier, the plurality of holes including at least a first hole and a second hole. A first bearing device is disposed in the first hole, the first bearing device including a first shaft, a first head, and an internal opening extending an entire length of the first shaft and the first head. The second hole is either (i) is an open hole without a bearing device disposed therein, or (ii) has a second bearing device disposed therein, the second bearing device including a second shaft and a second head without an internal opening disposed through the second shaft.

A substrate transferring system may include a first transfer unit to transfer a substrate along a circular first orbit while rotating on a first axis perpendicular to a ground, and a second transfer unit to transfer a substrate along a circular second orbit while rotating on a second axis perpendicular to the ground, wherein the first orbit and the second orbit may overlap with each other at a first point, and at the first point, a substrate may be transferred from the first transfer unit to the second transfer unit or from the second transfer unit to the first transfer unit.

A transfer apparatus transfers a first substrate and a second substrate while holding the first substrate and the second substrate to overlap each other in a plan view. The transfer apparatus includes: a first holding arm configured to hold the first substrate in a horizontal direction; a second holding arm configured to hold the second substrate in the horizontal direction; a first detection sensor configured to detect presence/absence of the first substrate held by the first holding arm; and a second detection sensor configured to detect presence/absence of the second substrate held by the second holding arm, wherein the first detection sensor includes a sensor configured to detect the presence/absence of the first substrate, and wherein the first holding arm includes a notch formed at least at an inner end portion of a tip of the first holding arm and configured to allow the optical axis to pass therethrough.

A display panel vacuum suction system includes a control device, a robot arm, and a vacuum device. The robot arm includes two or more retractable rods, and each of the retractable rods is connected with a vacuum plate. Each vacuum chamber is disposed in each of the vacuum plates, and each vacuum hole is disposed on a surface of each of the vacuum plates, wherein each vacuum chamber is connected with the vacuum device by a suction pipe. The control device controls expansion and retraction of the retractable rods of the robot arm, so that the vacuum plates connected with the retractable rods can be combined to pick up a single display panel or pick up two display panels respectively. By combining vacuum plates, and controlling the opening or closing of the vacuum holes of each of the vacuum plates, different sizes of display panels can be sucked.

An apparatus for manufacturing a display device includes: a stage unit; and a suction unit located above the stage unit, wherein the suction unit includes: a main body including an outer box with top and bottom openings and an inner cup disposed in the outer box; a first air blower disposed above the main body and including a first main pipe extending in a first direction and a second air blower including a second main pipe extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction; a lower plate coupled to a lower end of the outer box and including a through hole; and a suction inlet defined by an inner end of the lower plate defining the through hole and a lower end of the inner cup, wherein the suction inlet is opened downward.
