<p>In a float process of flat glass production, the width of glass ribbon is controlled by regulating a tweel to manipulate the rate of supplying a molten glass through the tweel onto a molten metal bath. To minimize a fluctuation of the glass ribbon width, either of two different control modes, an integral control mode and a proportional-plus-integral control mode, is employed depending on whether or not an error between a measured width and a desired value is within a predetermined range of the error. Preferably the method of the present invention is achieved according to a sampled-data control system.</p> |
