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.
Claims12
A method for corner contouring of a flat glass substrate in a continuous feed-through process using a contouring tool, comprising the steps of:
- synchronizing movement of a first carrier unit to the continuous feed-through movement of the flat glass substrate;
- mechanically, electrically, acoustically, or optically coupling a second carrier unit being movably mounted on the first carrier unit to the flat glass substrate;
- contouring a corner of the flat glass substrate, wherein relative movement between the contouring tool and the second carrier is performed to overlap the continuous feed-through movement.
