SEALING AND DE-STACKING

摘要

When being sealed, insulating glass blanks (5) are held in a sealing station (2) gripped at the base by grippers (17) of a gripper arrangement (16) and/or by suction heads (15) and rest at the top against a roller beam (7) fitted with rollers (8). As the insulating glass blank (5) is sealed, only the nozzle (11) of a sealing assembly (10) moves along the outer edge of the insulating glass blank (5), which is stationary during the sealing process. When the lower edge of an insulating glass blank (5) is sealed, grippers (17) engaging the lower edge are released and move away downwards. Sealed insulating glass is removed from the sealing station (2) by a removal robot (24) onto the side opposite the sealing assembly (10), moved to a temporary store and placed therein on A-bearing supports (29) and fan frames (30) sorted according to production lots.

主权项

1. A method for intermediate storage of sealed insulating glass blanks, the method comprising:
removing sealed insulating glass blanks from a sealing station; placing the sealed insulating glass blanks in an intermediate storage unit in which the sealed insulating glass blanks are stored, sorted according to production lots, the sealed insulating glass blanks being temporarily stored with uniformly wide spacers in a first area of the intermediate storage unit, the spacers having widths deviating from usual widths in a second area of the intermediate storage unit; and removing insulating glass from the intermediate storage unit, sorted according to order lots.
