    Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing glass comprising a forming apparatus in a first processing zone, the forming apparatus configured to form a glass ribbon having a first direction of travel in the first processing zone. The apparatus also includes a first cutting apparatus in a second processing zone, the first cutting apparatus configured to separate one or more portions of the glass ribbon, the glass ribbon having a second direction of travel. The apparatus includes a first buffer zone between the first processing zone and the second processing zone in which the glass ribbon is supported in a first catenary between two, spaced-apart payoff positions. The second direction of travel in the second processing zone can be orthogonal to the first direction of travel in the first processing zone.

    Abstract: A method of managing mechanical stress on a crack tip when separating a flexible glass ribbon includes directing the flexible glass ribbon to an edge trimming apparatus including a cutting device. The flexible glass ribbon includes a first broad surface and a second broad surface that extend laterally between a first edge and a second edge. The first edge of the flexible glass ribbon is separated as the flexible glass ribbon moves by the cutting device forming a continuous strip of edge trim connected to a central portion of the flexible glass ribbon at a crack tip. A width of a gap between the first edge and the central portion is detected using a gap measurement device. A signal is supplied to a controller indicative of the width of the gap. The width of the gap between the first edge and the central portion is adjusted based on the signal using a gap adjustment device.

    Abstract: 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.
