Investigation of an auto motion and high efficiency platform for generation six to eight flat panel

摘要

As the area of glass panel becomes larger and the thickness becomes thinner (from 0.5mm to about 0.3mm), the method for the load of glass panel under the mass-production will be changed to another method, for example by platform with auto load function. In this study, we investigated a platform for generation six (G6, 1850 × 1500 mm) to generation eight (G8, 2460 × 2160 mm). The investigated auto panel-cutting platforms had the human-machine interface which could be designed to have the function of choosing the different cutting area. The investigated platform has two special functions, which can be controlled by the human-machine interface. The first is the diagnosis model, which is used to choose the cutting area for the analysis of the fail problem. The second is the accepted goods and unaccepted goods (OK/NG) model. The area of cutting glass panels could be controlled by the computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) program.
