Claim:
1. An insulated glass unit (IGU) assembly station comprising: an assembly table defining a planar table surface that is configured to receive first and second transparent window components, the table surface being positioned at an incline relative to a vertical direction that is perpendicular to a ground surface; a conveyor assembly arranged approximately parallel to the ground surface and configured to (i) contact bottom edges of the first and second transparent window components and (ii) translate the first and second transparent window components along a translation pathway from a first end of the table surface to a second end of the table surface, the translation pathway being substantially parallel to the table surface; and a projection component adjacent to the assembly table and configured to engage the first transparent window component to translate at least a bottom portion of the first transparent window component between an initial position and a first assembly position offset from the translation pathway, wherein the projection component movably translates back and forth substantially perpendicular to the table surface movably offsetting the conveyor assembly.
