Abstract
A method is provided for corner contouring of flat glass substrates in a continuous feed-through process by a contouring tool. The method includes the steps of: synchronization of the movement of the contouring tool to the continuous feed-through movement of the flat glass substrate, contouring of a corner of the flat glass substrate, wherein a relative movement between the contouring tool and the flat glass substrate is performed so as to overlap the continuous feed-through movement.

A method for corner contouring of flat glass substrates in a continuous feed-through process using a contouring tool, comprising the steps of:
- synchronizing movement of the contouring tool to continuous feed-through movement of the flat glass substrate;
- contouring a corner of the flat glass substrate, wherein relative movement between the contouring tool and the flat glass substrate is performed so as to overlap the continuous feed-through movement, and wherein the relative movement is coupled to the flat glass substrate.
A method for corner contouring of flat glass substrates in a continuous feed-through process using a contouring tool, comprising the steps of:
- synchronizing a first carrier unit to continuous feed-through movement of the flat glass substrate;
- placing, in a form-fit manner, a second carrier unit against the flat glass substrate, the second carrier being movably mounted on the first carrier unit;
- contouring a corner of the flat glass substrate, wherein, while maintaining the form-fitting between the second carrier unit and the flat glass substrate, the contouring tool executes a movement that is controlled relative to the second carrier unit so as to overlap the continuous feed-through movement.
