The present disclosure provides a positioning foot, a positioning device and a method for correcting position of a glass substrate, and belongs to the technical field of automatic positioning. The positioning foot of the present disclosure comprises: a contact member for contacting a side of the glass substrate; an elastic member, a first end of which is connected with the contact member and receives a counterforce from the glass substrate delivered by the contact member so as to compress the elastic member, and a second end of which is fixed; and a sensor fixed on the second end of the elastic member. Wherein, the contact member is arranged to be displaced with a compression action of the elastic member, and after the contact member is displaced to a predetermined position, the sensor is triggered to be in an ON state such that the elastic member stops the compression action.

A system for automatic feedback and adjust transmittal pulling force of the glass fragment comprises a delivery machine, a glass broken machine and a recycle box, the glass fragment is transmitted by the delivery machine and triturated by the glass broken machine, and then transported them to the recycle box, the delivery machine comprises a driving motor, a conveyer belt and a driving roller, the conveyer belt is surrounded between the driving rollers, the driving roller is turn round by the driving of the driving motor to lead the conveyer belt rotating at the same time, and then the glass fragment on the conveyer belt could be transported into the glass broken machine for triturating and recycling. Additional, an electromagnetic control system is provided for automatic adjusting transmittal pulling force of the conveyer belt depends on the distance between the two driving rollers, which is connecting with the driving roller.

A test device is disclosed for verifying the accuracy of a pick and place process. The test device includes a surface configured to receive components, and a ferromagnetic layer located under the surface. A system is further disclosed including the test device and a plurality of components each including a magnetic element, the plurality of components configured to be received by a plurality of pockets of the test device. A method of picking and placing a component onto the test device is further disclosed.

A system (10) for forming glass sheets includes a glass location sensing assembly (80) having a fluid switch (82) that is actuated by a roller conveyed glass sheet (G) to control operation of transfer apparatus (69) that transfers the glass sheet from the roller conveyor (22) to a forming mold (48) at a design position for forming. A frame of the sensing assembly (80) supports a carriage (124) on which the fluid switch (82) is mounted for lateral movement with respect to the direction of conveyance of the glass sheet (G) so as to sense its leading extremity. A lateral positioner (130) adjusts the lateral position of the carriage (124) and the fluid switch (82) mounted on the carriage.

A glass processing apparatus and a glass processing method are provided. The glass processing apparatus includes: a glass transportation apparatus comprising a carrier comprising a gripper configured to grip glass articles, and a conveyor configured to convey the carrier, and a cleaning apparatus comprising a cleaning head configured to clean the gripper, which contact the glass articles, and a moving unit configured to move the cleaning head. The glass processing method includes: loading glass articles to a carrier having a gripper by picking up the glass articles with the gripper such that the gripper contact the glass articles, conveying the glass articles by conveying the carrier with a conveyor, unloading the glass articles from the carrier by causing the gripper to be detached from the glass articles, and cleaning the gripper.

Provided is an apparatus for manufacturing a multi-pane glass unit. The apparatus includes: a first plate configured to hold a first glass pane; a second plate configured to hold a second glass pane such that the second glass pane faces the first glass pane; and a conveyer including a first portion configured to convey the first glass pane onto the first plate and a second portion configured to convey the second glass pane onto the second plate.

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.

Cutting sheets of glass, or other glass substitute materials is provided. In a first step, a sheet is cut in a first cutting station in a working direction (L). Panels obtained from the cut sheet are rotated in their rest plane modifying an angular position thereof with respect to the working direction (L). Downstream of the rotation, a second cutting step and at least a third cutting step in a second cutting station and in at least a third cutting station is performed in series in the working direction (L).

An optimization bench for glass plates is configured to move the plates in a longitudinal direction of the bench in order to arrange the plates in positions suitable to achieve optimal occupation of the available area on the bench. The bench includes a plurality of belt conveyors parallel to each other, selectively driven by motor means through a plurality of electrically operated clutches which are respectively associated with the belt conveyors. An electronic controller is configured to convey each plate by activating only the belt conveyors on which the plate rests, until all plates are arranged in an optimized manner on the bench area.

Provided is an apparatus for manufacturing a multi-pane glass unit. The apparatus includes: a first plate configured to hold a first glass pane; a second plate configured to hold a second glass pane such that the second glass pane faces the first glass pane; and a conveyer including a first portion configured to convey the first glass pane onto the first plate and a second portion configured to convey the second glass pane onto the second plate.
