摘要

Dividing composite glass panes comprises holding the panes with clamping jaws (6,27) on a processing table during processing. A clamping force is introduced into the jaws only in the region of the panes. An independent claim is also included for a device for cutting or breaking composite glass panes. Preferred Features: The clamping jaws are subjected to a clamping force using a number of operating devices (8,28) over the length of the jaws. Only the operating devices exert a force in a region in which one pane is arranged. Optical, mechanical or other suitable sensor (9) is used to determine the width of the pane to be clamped.
