Description

The invention relates to a device for safe and quick transfer of new glass plates from the production line to a transport vehicle

The production of large-area glass plates takes place in the form of float glass by the continuous pouring of a molten glass on a tin bath heated in an elongated pan and the glass ribbon resulting therefrom. This glass band has a side on which lay on the tin bath, the so-called bath side. The other side of the glass ribbon which has been cooled in the air is referred to as the so-called air side. The bath side and the air side have different properties. For example, as the air side has less bumps, it is better for coatings. The subsequent cutting of the float glass is done by slitting and cross cutting of the Floatglsfertigung at a certain feed rate expiring glass ribbon The longitudinal cutting cause here in an appropriate position above the glass belt stationät installed longitudinal cutting wheels and the cross cutting is done with the help of cutting bridges and it across the glass ribbon moving cross cutting wheels Als so-called tape measure or large format is here called a size of 6 meters by 3.21 meters. Shared or medium format called os is called a 3.21 meter by 2 meter board size (up to 2.5 meters)

In order to transport glass plates of such size without breakage from one place to another, holding mechanisms, usually in the form of a stable frame, are moved up to the relevant glass plate and connected to it via suction cups. Then, the holding mechanism is further conveyed with the glass plate sucked thereon.

The prior art is from the document DE 20 2010 017 750 U1 a device for transferring plate material in a manufacturing plant and a related plant with plate material known.
