Herein is disclosed a method of
processing a
glass sheet assembly (1) for a vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit (30), wherein the method comprises the step of - providing a
glass sheet assembly (1) comprising a first
glass sheet (3) and a second glass sheet (4), wherein a plurality of support structures (2) for maintaining a gap (5) between said first glass sheet and said second glass sheet of the vacuum insulated glass unit (30) are arranged between major surfaces (3a, 4a) of the glass sheets (3, 4), wherein the glass sheet
assembly (1) comprises a
solder material (7) to provide an edge sealing for enclosing and sealing the gap (5) between the glass sheets (3, 4), and wherein the glass sheet assembly (1) extends substantially horizontally, the method comprising the subsequent steps of - heating (t3-t5) the full extent (L_AB + L_BC + L_CD + L_DA) of the
solder material (7) through an upper, outer side surface (4b) of the glass sheet assembly (1) so as to soften the
solder material (7) by moving at least two
laser light beams (9_1, 9_2, 9_3, 9_4) which are emitted from different
laser light emitters (15_1, 15_2, 15_3, 15_4) in a lengthwise direction (LDS) of the solder material (7), - providing a force clamping (t4) of the glass sheet assembly (1) so that the glass sheets (3, 4) clamp the solder material (7), the force clamping being provided by means of a clamping arrangement (40, 8, 40a, 70) in
abutment with the upper, outer side surface (4b) of the glass sheet assembly (1), wherein the clamping arrangement (40, 8, 40a) comprises one or more parts (40a, 40) which acts as an obstacle (40a, 40, 71, 72) preventing any one of said
laser light beams (9_1, 9_2, 9_3, 9_4) from heating the full extent (L_AB + L_BC + L_CD + L_DA) of the solder material (7), wherein the emitters (15_1, 15_2, 15_3, 15_4) are arranged so that the
laser light beams 25 (9_1, 9_2, 9_3, 9_4) together heat and soften the full extent (L_AB + L_BC + L_CD + L_DA) of the solder material (7).
