Insulating glass panels and method and device for assembling said insulating glass panels

A method for assembling an insulating glass panel comprising the following steps:

• conveying a first glass sheet standing on one of its edges into a primer station;
• in the primer station, applying a primer onto the first standing glass panel in a strip-like manner along the edge thereof;
• after applying the primer strip, conveying the standing first glass sheet out of the primer station into a TPS station;
• conveying a second glass sheet standing on one of its edges into the primer station;
• in the primer station, applying a primer onto the second standing glass panel in a strip-like manner along the edge thereof;
• conveying the standing first glass sheet out of the TPS station into a rotation station;
• conveying the standing second glass panel out of the primer station into the TPS station;
• in the rotation station, rotating the standing first glass sheet about a vertical axis of rotation;
• after rotation, conveying the standing first glass sheet out of the rotation station into a pressing station;
• conveying the standing second glass sheet out of the TPS station via the rotation station into the pressing station, so that both glass sheets stand opposite each other at a distance and their primer strips are facing each other;
• while the first glass sheet and/or while the second glass sheet is located in the TPS station, applying a paste-like TPS strand that subsequently solidifies onto the primer strip of this standing glass sheet;
• in the pressing station, joining the two glass sheets together to form the insulating glass panel by reducing the distance between the two glass sheets until the TPS strand forms a spacer between the two glass sheets and holds the two glass sheets at a predefined distance from each other;
• after the joining operation, conveying the insulating glass panel out of the pressing station.

An insulating glass panel, comprising:

• at least two glass sheets and an intermediate spacer, which, due to its height, holds the at least two glass sheets at a predefined distance from each other;
• wherein the intermediate spacer is formed by at least one paste-like TPS strand that subsequently solidifies;
• and
• wherein the TPS strand is rigidly connected to one of the at least two glass sheets by a primer strip applied onto the surface of said glass sheet of the at least two glass sheets.
