摘要： Methods and apparatuses for steering flexible glass webs are disclosed. In one embodiment, a steering device for non-contact steering of a glass web having a conveyance direction and a cross direction normal to the conveyance direction includes a fluid injection bar having an elongate axis oriented in a cross direction of the glass web. The steering device also includes a pivot bearing assembly coupled to the fluid injection bar such that the fluid injection bar is pivotable in a plane perpendicular to the conveyance direction of the glass web, an actuator coupled to the fluid injection bar for adjusting the orientation of the fluid injection bar with respect to the glass web, and an edge detection device positioned proximate to an edge of the glass web for evaluating a position of an edge of the glass web.

摘要： A continuous glass ribbon is processed by directing the glass ribbon, after formation, into a downstream draw zone and to a transition zone in which the glass ribbon can be bent to radii larger than a minimum bend radius. Different thicknesses of the glass ribbon can be produced in the draw zone. An upstream area of the glass ribbon can be bent to place a first surface of the glass in compression and a downstream area of the glass can be bent to place the first surface of the glass in tension, whereby an intermediate area is substantially free of compression and tension. The glass ribbon can be separated at a first location after the second thickness is reached and at a second location after the final thickness is reached. Glass ribbon having the final thickness can be passed to a third location at which the glass ribbon is collected.

摘要翻译： 连续的玻璃带通过在形成后将玻璃带引导到下游拉伸区域和过渡区域进行处理，在该过渡区域中，玻璃带可被弯曲到大于最小弯曲半径的半径。 可以在拉伸区域中生产不同厚度的玻璃带。 玻璃带的上游区域可被弯曲以使玻璃的第一表面处于压缩状态并且玻璃的下游区域可被弯曲以使玻璃的第一表面处于张力状态，由此中间区域基本上没有压缩 和紧张。 玻璃带可以在达到第二厚度之后的第一位置处和在达到最终厚度之后的第二位置处分离。 具有最终厚度的玻璃带可以通过玻璃带收集的第三位置。
