Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for heating moving continuous glass ribbons at desired lines of separation and/or for separating glass sheets from continuous glass ribbons are disclosed. An apparatus includes a translatable support portion and a heating apparatus coupled to the support portion. The heating apparatus is configured to contact the continuous glass ribbon across at least a portion of a width of the continuous glass ribbon at the desired line of separation as the support portion moves in a draw direction, thereby preferentially applying heat to a first side of the continuous glass ribbon at the desired line of separation as the continuous glass ribbon moves in the draw direction.

Abstract: Bead removal apparatus and methods of separating beads from glass sheets with glass engaging units are disclosed. The bead removal apparatus includes a forming body from which a continuous glass ribbon is drawn in a draw direction and a bead removal station adjacent to and laterally offset from the forming body. The bead removal station includes a heating element configured to heat a desired line of bead separation of a glass sheet to a temperature within a range of about 400° C. to about 600° C., and a crack initiation device configured to initiate a crack in the glass sheet at the desired line of bead separation. The bead removal apparatus further includes a glass engaging unit configured to move the glass sheet from the continuous glass ribbon to the bead removal station.
