A window manufacturing system includes a first wire, a second wire spaced apart from the first wire, a controller moving the first wire up and down and the second wire up and down, and a load carrier connected to the first wire and the second wire. Window substrates are disposed on the load carrier. The controller moves the first wire and the second wire in opposite directions to each other.

The invention provides a stand system for arranging panels, comprising at least two stands and at least one coupling element for coupling the at least two stands, said stands and said coupling element produced from plastic, said stands comprising: substantially an L-shape having a sole for placing a stand on a floor and a rear surface, and a back surface and a support surface for together supporting said panels, said coupling element comprising: a coupling element length for coupling two stands substantially parallel and a length distance apart; a first end with a first coupling part; an opposite second end with a second coupling part,
and said stands further comprise a coupling part receiving part for in cooperation with at least one selected from said first and second coupling part for holding coupled stands substantially parallel and preventing shearing of coupled stands.

An inter-floor transport system includes a first interface unit at a first floor and configured to receive containers from a transport vehicle, and a car configured to receive containers from the first interface unit at the first floor and move containers to a second floor, where the car includes a cage, a storage unit in the cage and including a plurality of storage areas, and an arrangement unit in the cage, the arrangement unit being configured to receive containers from the first interface unit and store containers in respective storage areas of the plurality of storage areas of the storage unit.

A substrate processing apparatus includes: a loading/unloading part having a first side surface into or from which a container accommodating a substrate is loaded or unloaded and a second side surface opposite to the first side surface; a substrate transfer part extending in a first direction orthogonal to the second side surface; and a plurality of batch processors adjacent to each other in a length direction of the substrate transfer part. The loading/unloading part includes: a first transfer device and a second transfer device configured to transfer the container; a first area accessible to the first transfer device and having a plurality of first storage shelves configured to store the container, a second area accessible to the second transfer device and having a plurality of second storage shelves configured to store the container; and a movable shelf configured to be movable between the first area and the second area.

Provided are stowable rack systems and methods for transporting various payloads. A stowable rack system for hauling various payloads includes a trailer having a body with a top surface and a recessed well and a rack. The rack includes a plurality of A-frames, each A-frame movable between an upright position relative to the top surface of the trailer and a stowed position within the recessed well. When at least two A-frames of the plurality of A-frames are in the upright position the at least two A-frames are operable to carry a first payload. When the plurality of A-frames are in the stowed position the top surface is operable to carry a second payload.

A method, apparatus, and system for storing a carbon fiber ply. The carbon fiber ply is moved to an electrostatic storage panel. The carbon fiber ply is attached to the electrostatic storage panel using an electrostatic charge generated by the electrostatic storage panel.

A storage device, in particular a harp rack, for storing planar elements, preferably glass sheets, preferably laminated glass sheets or single-pane safety glass sheets.

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.

The present disclosure provides a holding arrangement. The holding arrangement for holding a substrate includes: a body portion having a first side; a dry adhesive material provided on the first side of the body portion; a seal surrounding the dry adhesive material and configured to provide a vacuum region on the first side, wherein the dry adhesive material is provided in the vacuum region; and a conduit to evacuate the vacuum region.

Manual and automated racking systems and associated methods for loading/unloading glass panels (e.g., insulating glass units (IGU), laminated glass units, glass composites, monolithic glass, and the like) onto/from a transportable rack, and a rack for use with the manual and automated racking systems.
