| description | A glass handling system and method are described herein where an enhanced robot is used to engage and hold a glass sheet in a manner that minimizes the motion of the glass sheet as it is moved from one point to another point in a glass manufacturing facility. The enhanced robot engages and holds the glass sheet by using one or more suction cups and one or more aero-mechanical devices. The suction cups contact and support the outer edges or non-quality area of the glass sheet while the glass sheet is moved. And, the aero-mechanical device(s) emit gas towards the center portion or quality area of the glass sheet in a manner which enables the aero-mechanical device to support and hold the quality area of the glass sheet without contacting the glass sheet while the glass sheet is moved. The system may also use a temperature control system to regulate a temperature of the gas emitted from the aero-mechanical device towards the glass sheet such that the temperature of the gas emitted from the aero-mechanical device substantially matches a temperature of the glass sheet. |
