Abstract: A method is described for producing a glass pane having at least one edge section delimiting the glass pane, for whose production the glass pane has been severed along the edge section with the aid of a severing procedure comprising a thermal energy introduction. The invention of the glass pane is enclosed at least sectionally and preferably along the entire edge section by a sheath immediately after production of the at least one edge section using a severing procedure comprising a thermal energy introduction.

Abstract: In a method for a laser-induced thermal separation of plate glass by thermal scoring using a laser beam heating the glass along a desired separation line with subsequent cooling of the laser-heated line, wherein the heat is applied by the laser beam in a number of repetitive passes at intensities based on glass thickness and desired cutting speeds.
