  • Method and apparatus for removing peripheral portion of a glass sheet
    Patent number: 9862634
    Abstract: Process for removing peripheral portions such as bead regions of a glass sheet including a step of pushing the glass sheet in the peripheral portion using a pushing mechanism such as a pushing bar, and corresponding apparatus. As a result of the use of the pushing mechanism, the engagement completion time for suction cups, if used, are reduced significantly. A process without using suction cups is enabled with enhanced yield. The increased process stability and enlarged process window are particularly advantageous for processing glass sheets having high flexibility.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 30, 2011
    Date of Patent: January 9, 2018
    Assignee: Corning Incorporated
