Proposed Case
Non-Contact Conveyance System for Liquid-Crystal Glass Substrate
(Float Chuck Hand & Conveyer)
Product Outline
Float Chuck Hand
Moving from one manufacturing line to another with floating through air adsorption without touching the glass substrate
Floating Conveyer
Conveying a glass substrate on the conveyer by floating it with air without its touching the glass substrate
Challenges before Product Development
- Handling of irregular events at work (correction in the misalignment of a pitch)
- Improvement in line efficiency (speeding-up/energy-saving)
- Adjustment to the standards for the large-sized liquid-crystal glass (G8-G10)
Points in Product Development
Able to automatically calculate the most appropriate pitch through the robotic searching function
- This floating conveyer has enabled the low-vibration conveyance with more controlling pulsation than the conventional one.
- Satisfying both high buoyant force and energy-saving with controlling spurting air
- Full automation of the conveyer of a substrate between lines
- Enabling an adjustment to the standards for large-sized substrates (G8-G10) by designing in view of their growing in size
Dense Pack Unpacking/Packing System for Liquid-Crystal Glass Substrate
Product Outline
This is a system designed for packing liquid-crystal glass substrates after their unpacking from a pallet/dense pack specially produced for the conveyance, washing, and inspection.
It is capable of taking out/in glass and slip sheets from a dense pack. You can use this product on both liquid-crystal glass substrate manufacturing lines and liquid-crystal panel manufacturing lines. (Unpacking Device: Dense Unpacker; Packing Device: Dense Packer)
Challenges before Product Development
- The roller-type conveyance system for liquid-crystal glass substrates has still been widely used at the moment. The conveyance of liquid-crystal glass substrates on a manufacturing line without them getting damaged has been a challenge for the roller-type conveyance system, overcoming which challenge could improve the quality of them in the shipment.
- Adjustment to the standard for large-sized liquid-crystal glass (G8-G10)
- Improvement in performance compared to conventional products under the non-contact conveyance system (lower vibration and higher buoyancy force)
Points in Product Development
This product is a non-contact robot hand employing Bernoulli’s theory. Adsorbing a substrate with using negative pressure caused by spurting air.
- Securing the largest share regarding the dense pack unpacking/system in Taiwan
(50% or more). - The specifications of our product have been adopted as the world standard.
- Bringing out the world’s fastest processing ability (G8 size: 18 seconds/sheet; G5 size: 10 seconds/sheet).
