<p>Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for the contamination-free transfer of thin, shock-sensitive crystalline plates, especially glass plates (11), from a horizontal into a defined vertical position. Said method and apparatus have the following features: a) a transverse bar (6) of a transfer fork is disposed below the glass plate (11) in order to grip the glass plate (11), said transverse bar (6) being fitted with suction head-supporting bars (7) which are vertically mounted thereon and have suction heads that are distributed along the top side thereof and penetrate the free space between the rolls; b) the suction heads are moved close to the bottom side of the glass plate (11), and the suction elements thereof are connected to the glass plate (11) by means of intake air; c) the glass plate (11) is put into the placement device after being finely adjusted. Also disclosed are a computer program and a machine-readable carrier containing the corresponding program code.</p> |
