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.

A device for conveying a sheet of substrate having two opposed main faces linked b y an edge face, wherein one of the main faces of the sheet of substrate is positioned along a reception plane of the device, the reception plane being close to a vertical plane, including a plurality of lower rollers positioned side by side along a conveying direction, each of them being able to rotate about a lower rotation axis extending perpendicularly to the conveying direction in a conveying plane and being arranged to receive a part of the edge face of the sheet of substrate, a plurality of upper rollers, each of them being arranged to receive one of said main faces of the sheet of substrate and being able to rotate about an upper rotation axis orthogonal to the conveying direction.

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.

Apparatus and methods for processing a glass sheet that includes a threading tool movable between an open position and a closed position, a glass sensor, a gripping device sensor and a controller in communication with the glass sensor and the gripping device sensor, and configured to coordinate and control movement of the threading tool between the open position and the closed position based on the detected presence of the glass sheet and the detected presence of the gripping device. A control system is also provided.

A manufacturing method for a band-shaped glass film (GF) includes use of: a plurality of rollers (10) configured to change a direction of the falling band-shaped glass film (GF) to a horizontal direction; and a first horizontal-conveyance unit (4) configured to convey the band-shaped glass film (GF) in the horizontal direction after the changing of the direction of the band-shaped glass film (GF). After a lower end of the band-shaped glass film (GF) passes through a position between the plurality of rollers (10) being at a retreated position (P2) and the first horizontal-conveyance unit (4), the plurality of rollers (10) are moved from the retreated position (P2) to a regular position (P1) to apply a pressing force to the band-shaped glass film (GF), to thereby cut the band-shaped glass film (GF) along a width direction by bend-breaking.

A sorting method and a sorting device for sorting glass panel cut pieces, as well as a device for producing cut-out glass panels with a cutting system for cutting raw glass panels into individual glass panel cut pieces, and with a sorting device of this type, as well as a method for producing cut-out glass panels.

Provided is a method of manufacturing a glass sheet, which comprises a conveying step of conveying a glass sheet (G3) by holding an upper part of the glass sheet (G3) in a vertical posture. The conveying step comprises a first conveying step of conveying the glass sheet (G3) in a first direction along a direction perpendicular to a main surface of the glass sheet (G3), and a second conveying step of conveying the glass sheet (G3) in a second direction along a direction parallel to the main surface after the first conveying step. When a conveying direction of the glass sheet is changed from the first direction to the second direction, a lower part of the main surface (G3y) is supported by a roller (41) of a support portion (4) from a forward side in the conveying direction of the glass sheet (G3) conveyed in the first direction.

A glass cutting line includes automatic remnant storage and retrieval including cutting table with integrated squaring stop and y-break breaking bar facilitating sub-plate cutting. The cutting table is configured for sub-plate cutting mode which provides the ability to cut portions of a stock sheet and release the cut portion in the form of a remnant and or individual workpieces to breakout before the entire sheet is finished scoring without the sub-plate leaving the cutting table.

A pick-and-place device of display screen substrate and a control method for picking and placing a display screen substrate are disclosed. The pick-and-place device of display screen substrate includes a housing, a support assembly and a control component. The support assembly is disposed in the housing and includes: a support plate extending in a first direction, and two sets of support bars disposed opposite to each other and spaced apart from each other in the first direction. Each set of support bars includes a plurality of support bars arranged at intervals along a second direction, and each support bar is movable in a third direction. The support plate and the support bar are connected with the housing respectively, and the support plate is provided with an opening configured to allow the support bar to move along the third direction.
