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 sealing insulating glass blanks using a sealing assembly with at least one sealing nozzle, which is moved along the edge of the insulating glass blank, the method comprising:
introducing sealing compound from the sealing nozzle into an edge seam, open toward the outside, of the insulating glass blank,
during sealing, the insulating glass blank is held only in areas of its upper edge and its lower edge; and removing the sealed insulating glass blank from a sealing station toward the rear, toward the side opposite to the sealing assembly in the direction away from the sealing nozzle.
