Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for separating glass sheets (13) from a laser-scored curved glass ribbon (33). In certain embodiments, the occurrence of edge defects is reduced by ensuring that the glass ribbon (33) is in contact with a flat nosing (540) prior to the beginning of separation between the glass sheet (13) and the ribbon (33) at the laser-scored score line (7). In other embodiments, the nosing (540) has a circular transverse cross section and, optionally, is rotatable. In further embodiments, the nosing is integrated in a sheet-engaging assembly (530) and moves away from the newly-formed top edge (690) of the glass sheet (13) to allow the top of the sheet (13) to be engaged for transfer to subsequent processing stations.

Abstract: Laser scoring of a glass ribbon (13) which moves at a non-constant speed is performed using a tilted track (15) and a carriage (14) which travels down the track. The carriage can include a flying optical head (51) which receives laser light from a flexible laser beam delivery system (61) coupled to a laser (41). Variations in the speed of the ribbon which are less than or equal to ±3% of the ribbon's nominal speed can be accommodated by varying the speed of the carriage and adjusting the output power of the laser (41). Greater speed variations can additionally involve adjusting the tilt angle α the track. Adjustments of the orientation of a first lens unit (53) within the flying optical head (51) can be made to maintain the major axis of the laser beam along the score line as the tilt angle is changed.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems for scoring non-flat materials including non-flat glass sheets (1000). In one embodiment, a laser scoring system is described. The laser scoring system includes a laser (102) and an optical head (106). The optical head is configured to receive output from the laser and focus the output into an elongated laser beam having a beam waist and an extended focal depth (116) of greater than +/- 5 mm relative to the center of the beam waist with a power density sufficient for scoring a material having at least a portion within the extended focal depth. In one aspect the system can include a beam expander (104). The beam expander receives the output from the laser, expands the output from the laser to an expanded laser beam, and transmits the expanded laser beam to the optical head.

Abstract: A method of conveying a glass substrate utilizing an improved non-contact lifting device. The non-contact lifting device employs the Bernoulli effect to create a pressure differential across the glass substrate. The Bernoulli device of the present invention comprises an increased holding or lifting power, and reduces the opportunity for contact between the device and the glass substrate if the device is tilted with respect the plane of the glass substrate surface.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for processing a glass sheet having opposing, first and second major surfaces. The glass sheet is delivered to a pre-positioning station. The pre-positioning station is operated to spray a liquid onto the first major surface to stabilize the glass sheet. The stabilized glass sheet is delivered to a washing station. The washing station is operated to wash the glass sheet. The washed glass sheet is delivered to a drying station. The drying station is operated to dry the glass sheet. With some methods of the present disclosure, by stabilizing the glass sheet at the pre-positioning station immediately prior to the washing station, the likelihood of physical contact between the glass sheet and components of the washing station are minimized.
