Problems solved by technology

However, this is difficult to automate because the robotic arm cannot determine the ideal position for the thin glass disc with sufficient accuracy due to the different projection surfaces

Example Embodiment

[0051] figure 1 A first variant of the first design of the device according to the invention for containing, modifying and storing thin glass discs is shown. The device includes a frame 1 with a top side O and a bottom side U. The top side of the frame 1 is connected with a robotic arm 10, and the frame 1 can be moved by means of the robotic arm. The bottom side U of the frame 1 is equipped with accommodating pins 2 which are guided through drilled holes in the cover of the bottom side U. There is an associated spring 5 for each receiving pin 2 inside the frame, which is tensioned between the cover of the frame 1 and the flange at the receiving pin and presses the receiving pin upwards into the frame 1 . A model mold 4 is fixed at the top side O of the frame 1. The model mold 4 is, for example, a hollow mold made of steel with a downwardly directed surface, the curvature of which corresponds to the desired curvature of the strained glass disk I to be accommodated by the devi...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a device for picking up, deforming and depositing a thin glass pane, comprising a frame (1) with an upper side (O) and a lower side (U), which is suitable to be directed onto a glass pane (I) having a thickness of less than 1 mm, and which is provided with a plurality of picking-up pins (2) which are arranged substantially parallel to one another and are provided with a suction cup (3) at the end directed onto the glass pane (I), wherein the picking-up pins (2) are movable independently of one another along the direction of their extent in order to adapt the arrangement of the suction cups (3) to an intended shape of the glass pane (I).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device and method for receiving, deforming and storing thin glass discs, especially for precise storage on pre-curved thicker glass discs. Background technique [0002] Composite glass disks are frequently used as vehicle installation glazing, especially as windscreens or roof glazing, but increasingly also as side or rear glazing. It consists of two glass disks, which are connected to each other via a thermoplastic interlayer. In conventional composite glass discs, the typical thickness of the glass disc is about 2 mm. Mounting glazing in the vehicle sector is often curved. Here, the relatively thick individual glass disks of conventional composite glass disks are first heated to the softening temperature and bent. After curing, it has a dimensionally stable bend and is then laminated into a composite glass disk. In order to optimally adapt the shapes of the two glass disks to be joined to one another, they can b...
