Abstract
An apparatus for cutting the peripheral portion of a film projecting from the peripheral edge of a laminated glass plate having the film sandwiched between a pair of glass plates has a robot arm and a robot hand connected to the the robot arm. The robot hand has a releasable cutting blade, a device for biasing the cutting blade against the peripheral edge of a laminated glass plate, a device for biasing the cutting blade away from the peripheral edge of the laminated glass plate when the resistance force acting on the cutting edge of the cutting blade becomes larger than a predetermined level, and a device for biasing the cutting blade close to the peripheral edge of the laminated glass plate.
Claims8
An apparatus for cutting a peripheral portion of a film projecting from a peripheral edge of a film sandwiched between a pair of glass plates in a laminate, the apparatus comprising a robot arm and a robot hand connected to the robot arm,
- wherein the robot hand comprises a torque limiter, a first arm rotatably attached to the torque limiter, a second arm rotatably supported by the first arm, a cutting blade releasably attached to the second arm, means for rotatably biasing the second arm in a first direction, means for rotatably biasing the first arm in a second direction opposite the first direction, and means for rotatably biasing the first arm in the first direction.
