| 摘要 |
An isolator assembly (13) is disclosed for use between a pull roll assembly (140) and a scoring/separating assembly (150) of a glass manufacturing system (100) which produces a glass ribbon (11) from which glass sheets (15) are separated. The isolator assembly (13) includes S-shaped edge guides (30) which engage opposing edges of the ribbon (11) and cause the ribbon's centerline (18) to traverse an S-shaped curve as it passes through the isolator assembly (13). The isolator assembly (13) reduces motion of and/or stress in the glass ribbon (11) above the assembly (13) as a result of forces applied to the ribbon (11) below the assembly (13) by the scoring/separating assembly (150). Methods for producing glass sheets (15) using the isolator assembly (13) and a glass manufacturing system (100) employing the assembly (13) are also disclosed. |
