Abstract: A method of manufacturing a glass sheet assembly for a vacuum insulated glass unit includes applying an edge seal made of a first material to a perimeter of a first surface of a first glass sheet. The edge seal defining a discontinuity. The method also includes disposing a first surface of a second glass sheet on the edge seal such that a gap is defined between the first surface of the first glass sheet and the first surface of the second glass sheet. The method further includes evacuating the gap through the discontinuity and locally heating the edge seal to at least partially seal the discontinuity.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of applying a seal material on a glass sheet surface of one or more tempered glass sheets for a vacuum insulated glass unit. The method comprises the steps of: obtaining by means of a sensor system (4) surface variation data of at least one tempered glass sheet (3, 30) for said a vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit, and applying seal material (2) for an edge seal at a surface (3a, 30a) of said one or more tempered glass sheet (3, 30) by means of one or more nozzles (5) having a nozzle opening (6) for dispensing said seal material. The method further comprises by means of a control system (7) controlling one or more adjustment systems (9, 10, 11) influencing on the applying of said seal material by said one or more nozzles (5) based on said obtained surface variation data. The disclosure additionally relates to a method of manufacturing a vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit, and a system for applying edge sealing material (2) for an edge sealing of a vacuum insulated glass unit (1, 100) and use of a system for applying edge sealing material (2) for an edge sealing of a vacuum insulated glass unit (1, 100).

Abstract: A compressible pillar for the preparation of a vacuum insulated glazing (VIG) unit, having a longitudinal extent in the pre-compressed state and including a deformable part having an open structure, which open structure will at least partially collapse when the pillar is subject to a compression force acting in the longitudinal direction of the pillar, the compression force being of at least one value selected within the range of 60 N to 320 N, the pillar will exhibit a partly irreversible deformation causing a reduction in the longitudinal extent of the pillar when the pillar is subjected to the compression force, so that when the compression force is fully released the pillar will exhibit an expansion in the longitudinal direction of the pillar which is less that the reduction in the longitudinal extent of the pillar. Further is shown a process for manufacturing of a compressible pillar, a method of producing a VIG unit as well as a VIG unit.
