And; The sensor 18 of the glass sheets direction upstream side through being arranged at grinding unit 16; On a glass plate G; Endface position to adsorbing the glass plate G that keeps by absorption supply unit 14 detects a plurality of positions, according to these a plurality of marginal positions, carries out FEEDFORWARD CONTROL through the position of 20 pairs of emery wheels 62 of position control section.
Thus, glass plate G can be positioned through absorption supply unit 14 when attrition process, and the emery wheel 62 of grinding unit 16 can be followed the tracks of the deviation of end face precision and carry out end surface grinding processing.That is, the relative positional accuracy between the end face of glass plate G and the emery wheel 62 is high, compares with existing apparatus; Can carry out end surface grinding processing with fixing edging amount; In addition, because in the convex part deformation of the big end face of edging quantitative change, emery wheel 62 also can be followed the tracks of along its shape and move; So can not damage end face and the emery wheel 62 of glass plate G, can stably carry out end surface grinding processing.
Position probing about the end face of 18 couples of glass plate G of sensor; In a glass plate, only detect under the situation of a position; Though can hold the relative position between glass plate G and the emery wheel 62, can not hold the skew that the carrying of shape and glass G of the end face of glass plate G causes.According to present embodiment; Because the endface position of glass plate G is carried out a plurality of position probing; Become near linear shape or curve-like so can detect end surface shape, even the delivery precision of glass G is poor in addition, owing to can hold the end face of glass plate G and the relative position between the emery wheel 62; The tracking accuracy of emery wheel 62 also can uprise, and also can access above-mentioned effect.In addition, above-mentioned a plurality of position for example is inserted with the spacing of 5~500mm degree.Because the sampling spacing of sensor 18 is more little good more, is preferably 5~10mm.Can easily tackle protuberance thus.
In addition, store the reference position, edge of the end face of glass plate in advance in position control section 20, calculate this reference position, edge and, FEEDFORWARD CONTROL is carried out to offset this difference in the position of emery wheel 62 through the difference between the sensor 18 detected marginal positions.As the mobile unit of emery wheel 62,, be not limited thereto though the high ball-screw apparatus 68 of feed accuracy is suitable.
In addition, as sensor 18, preferably use noncontacting proximity sensor.Thus, can prevent because sensor 18 contacts damage and the damage of sensor 18 of the end face of the glass plate G that causes with the end face of glass plate G.Particularly, liquid crystal display glass substrate, plasma scope are with sheet glass such as glass substrates, because its thinner thickness is 0.3~2.8mm, its end face is sharp keen as the blade of razor, and therefore, being made as sensor contactless is effective method.
As noncontacting proximity sensor 18, preferably utilize the sensor of the image processing techniques (binary conversion treatment) of cameras such as CCD, CMOS, perhaps utilize the ultrasonic sensor of the distance between detection and the end face.Under the situation of camera, in order to detect the marginal position of end face, as long as configuration and to taking at the edge above or below glass plate G, but when considering that grinding step is to use the situation such as adhere to of environment and lapping rejects of water, be preferably up and dispose.In addition, under the situation of ultrasonic sensor, get final product according to hyperacoustic mode that can be received in end face reflection and the configuration of end face subtend.
Here, in embodiment, though as absorption supply unit 14 the adsorption section illustration absorption layer 30 of difficult generation flaw, be not limited thereto.For being improved, delivery precision also can on the block of the metal of stainless steel, iron etc. vacuum suction portion be set at for example aluminium.
Moreover; In the end-face grinder 10 of embodiment; Possess two absorption supply units 14,14, each adsorbs supply unit 14,14 and moves and return action through control part 42 going to of each absorption layer 30,30 of control according to the conveying corresponding to mode on opportunity with glass plate G with having the time difference.Thus, need not to be interrupted to end-face grinder 10 and move into glass plate G, can successfully carry glass plate G through absorption layer 30,30 even move into continuously also.In addition, the platform number of absorption supply unit 14 is not limited to two, also can be more than three.In addition, emery wheel 62 also can be the chamfering abrasive wheel that corner has been carried out chamfering.
