SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REMOVAL OF A LAYER

摘要

A system includes a first drive unit used for driving at least one of a release device, a gripper device, and a second drive unit used for driving a support device. The release device is a vacuum device. The vacuum device is coupled to a vacuum source and applies a suction force against an edge portion of one layer among a first layer disposed on a second layer. Another layer among the first layer and the second layer is held by a support surface of the support device. The vacuum device and/or the support device are movable upwards and downwards for peeling the edge portion of the one layer from the other layer. The gripper device holds the peeled edge portion of the one layer and the support device or the gripper device is movable along at least one axis for removing the one layer from the other layer.
