Abstract: The present invention relates to a substrate carrier, comprising: a base plate (102) comprising a first area (104) and a second area (106); wherein the first area (104) comprises a first support surface (108) of the base plate (102) and the second area (106) comprises a recess (110) formed in the first support surface (108) of the base plate (102), wherein the first area (104) comprises an at least one first suction device (112) for providing vacuum force, and wherein the second area (106) comprises at least one second suction device (114) for providing vacuum force, wherein the at least one second suction device (114) comprises a second support surface (116) on the upper surface of the at least one second suction device, wherein the second support surface (116) is below the first support surface (108), and wherein the second support surface (116) comprises a sealing seating structure (118) surrounding a second suction opening (120).

Abstract: 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.
