A cut-out glass plate positioning apparatus includes: a cut line forming device 4 provided in a cut line forming position 4a; a bend-breaking and separating device 6 for cutting out unworked plate glasses 5 from an unworked plate glass 2 along the cut lines 3; a pair of position and angle correcting devices 8 for effecting correction of the position and angle with respect to the unworked plate glass 5; a pair of sucking and transporting devices 9 for suckingly lifting and transporting the unworked plate glass 5 to each position and angle correcting device 8; and two CCD cameras 10 respectively installed above the position and angle correcting devices 8.

A method for calibrating a fluid dispensing system includes the steps of locating an external reference point with an optical sensor, moving a fluid dispenser to the external reference point, dispensing fluid with the fluid dispenser at the external reference point, locating the dispensed fluid with the optical sensor, calculating a distance between the location of the external reference point and the location of the dispensed fluid, determining a correction value based at least in part on the calculated distance, and using the correction value to improve placement accuracy of dispensed fluid.
