The delivery apparatus conveys a stream of molten glass along the travel path. The glass manufacturing apparatus includes a first forming roll and a second forming roll spaced to define a gap that provides a glass ribbon with a width and a thickness. One or more of the first forming roll or the second forming roll include a textured feature that imparts a corresponding textured feature to the glass ribbon. The glass manufacturing apparatus includes a mold defining a mold cavity. The mold is positioned to receive a portion of the glass ribbon to impart a shape to the portion. The glass manufacturing apparatus includes a conveyor that moves the mold in a second travel direction angled relative to the first travel direction. Methods of manufacturing a glass ribbon are provided.

Abstract: A bio-container that includes a single-use container having an interior surface, an exterior surface, and a container thickness from about 0.2 mm to about 2 mm; and at least one port coupled to the container. Further, the container has a glass composition with no materials that are leachable in excess of a Permitted Daily Exposure (PDE) upon exposure to contents of the container. In some implementations, the container can include a compressive stress region that extends to a selected depth in the thickness and a maximum compressive stress at one or both of the interior and exterior surfaces. Further, the container can comprise a laminated sheet having a plurality of glass layers spanning the container thickness. These layers can comprise glass compositions with a CTE mismatch and the compressive stress region is based at least in part on the CTE mismatch.

Abstract: Methods for producing glass articles from laminated glass tubing include introducing the glass tubing to a converter. The glass tubing includes a core layer under tensile stress, an outer clad layer under, and an inner clad layer. The methods include forming a feature the glass article at a working end of the laminated glass tubing and separating a glass article from the working end of the laminated glass tubing, which may expose the core layer under tensile stress at the working end of the glass tubing. The method further comprises remediating the exposed portion of the core layer by completely enclosing the core layer in a clad layer. Systems for re-cladding the exposed portion of the core layer as well as glass articles made using the systems and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: A glass article manufacturing system 20 includes a crucible 44. The crucible 44 includes a barrel 52 and a nozzle 60. The barrel receives a feedstock. A translational stage 92 is positioned below the nozzle of the crucible. The translational stage is movable. A heater 72 is in thermal communication with the nozzle such that thermal energy provided by the heater is transferred to the feedstock. A feeder assembly 32 is positioned proximate the barrel of the crucible such that the feeder assembly feeds the feedstock into the barrel. The translational stage may provide negative pressure to retain a build plate to the translational stage. A preformed component may be positioned on the translational stage.

Abstract: Provided herein are measurement systems including a micrometer assembly for receiving a length of tubing, the micrometer assembly including a plurality of non-contact optical micrometers disposed around the length of tubing for measuring an outer diameter (OD) at a first plurality of positions along a circumference of the length of tubing. The measurement system may further include a displacement gauge assembly for receiving the length of tubing from the optical micrometer assembly, the displacement gauge assembly including a plurality of non-contact gauges disposed around the length of tubing for measuring a wall thickness at a second plurality of positions along the circumference of the length of tubing. A controller receives the OD measurements and thickness measurements, and determines an inner diameter and a concentricity of the length of glass tubing based on an index of refraction of the length of glass tubing, the OD measurements, and the thickness measurements.

Abstract: A laminated or single layer glass cylinder and its method of making are disclosed. The laminated cylinder glass is a precursor component to enable making subsequent drawn tubing having high optical quality. The laminated cylinder glass may comprise a first layer of glass as a clad glass and a second layer of glass as a core glass. The second layer of glass may be bound to the first layer of glass. The second layer may have a higher CTE from about 5×10−7/° C. to about 100×10−7/° C. than the first layer of glass. The first layer and second layer of glass may have different softening points within about 200° C. of each other. In some embodiments, the first layer and second layer of glass may have different softening points from about 50° C. to about 200° C. of each other.

Abstract: Methods of forming a glass tube are described. In one embodiment, the method includes heating a glass boule to a temperature above a glass transition temperature of the glass boule, drawing the glass tube from the glass boule in a vertically downward direction, and flowing a pressurized gas through a channel of the glass boule as the glass tube is drawn. The glass boule includes an outer surface defining an outer diameter of the glass boule and a channel extending through the glass boule defining an inner diameter of the glass boule. Drawing the glass tube decreases the outer diameter of the glass boule to an outer diameter of the glass tube and flowing the pressurized gas through the channel increases the inner diameter of the glass boule to an inner diameter of the glass tube. Glass boules, glass tubes, and apparatuses for making the same are also described.
