  • Publication number: 20250066238
    Abstract: A method for producing ultra-thin glass sheets is provided that results in glass sheets with high edge strength. The method includes: hot forming a continuous glass ribbon with a glass thickness from molten glass; annealing the glass ribbon with an annealing rate chosen based on the glass thickness; producing a laser beam focus area that is longer than the glass thickness; introducing filamentary defects into the glass ribbon using the laser beam so that the filamentary defects extend from one face to the opposite face and are spaced apart from one another along the breaking lines to produce transverse breaking lines and longitudinal breaking lines with margins each comprising a thickened bead; separating the beads along the longitudinal breaking lines and separating glass sheets by severing along the transverse breaking lines.

  • Patent number: 12128600
    Abstract: A device for removing plastic products (1) has at least one guiding and/or holding device with at least one rod body (7). In the context of a plastic forming process, the guiding and/or holding device is introduced into and removed from a plastic product (1), to take over and subsequently release the plastic product after forming for at least one further production step. A motion device (40) serves for inserting and removing the guiding and/or holding device into and from the plastic product (1), The motion device (40) moves the guiding and/or holding device axially in opposing directions of travel. At least one further motion device (35) is provided, which sets the guiding and/or holding device in rotational movement.

  • Patent number: 8267385
    Abstract: The invention relates to a holding device (1), especially for fixing a glass substrate during a cutting process. The holding device comprises a housing (2) and a plunger (3) which can be axially displaced in relation to the housing (2). The plunger has a first and a second end section (4, 5), the first end section (4) projecting from the housing (2) and having a suction element (6). The aim of the invention is inter alia to improve a known holding device in such a manner that the substrate can be approached and fixed almost without the application of force. The holding device (1) according to the invention is characterized in that the plunger (3) is received in the housing (2) by a pneumatic spring. A holding system (20) comprising a plurality of holding devices (1) is protected in a support plate (24), the support plate (24) having a vacuum channel collector (21) which is connected to vacuum channels (13) and which is connected to a common vacuum pump (14).

  • Patent number: 7071680
    Abstract: A position transducer device is provided for detecting the position of a position transmitter. The position transducer device comprises a housing extending in a longitudinal direction and a measuring sensor arranged in the housing and extending parallel to the longitudinal direction. The position transmitter is coupled to the measuring sensor in a non-contacting manner. The outer surface of the housing is designed such that it can be enclosed at least partially by a fixing receiving means for fixing the housing to an application. The housing can be rotated relative to the position transmitter in the fixing receiving means in order to enable adjustment of the distance between the measuring sensor and the position transducer.

  • Patent number: 6951192
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for regulating the operating temperature of an internal combustion engine, wherein a cooling fluid is transported in a circuit through the internal combustion engine by means of a cooling fluid pump driven by an electric motor. The electric motor can be operated with a power dissipation loss which is increased in comparison with its nominal operation and the waste heat produced in that situation is transmitted to the cooling fluid.
