Apparatus for conveying glass panels, comprising the following features: a) a conveying line which is fitted with conveying rollers, b) a large number of portal supports which are arranged in a linear manner one behind the other and are connected by means of guide beams and support column carriages, c) a large number of comb-type grippers which are positioned by means of a pivoting and rotating device in a manner in which they are each moved horizontally on the guide beams by means of a column carriage and are vertically guided by a lifting column, wherein the comb-type grippers are fitted with suction devices, and wherein each comb-type gripper can change the width of its capture range on both sides by means of a telescopic apparatus and has a comb-like structure with finger-like supporting elements, and wherein these supporting elements are fitted with a number of suction devices, d) a stacking framework for setting down a glass panel such that it is inclined to the left and/or a stacking framework for setting down a glass panel such that it is inclined to the right, wherein e) panels, in particular glass panels, of large surface area and of extreme size in the order of greater than 40 meters in length and greater than 6 meters in width are conveyed, wherein the panels can be held from the bath side or from the air side, a vertical-lifting apparatus is provided in the length and the width of the respective panel, wherein said vertical-lifting apparatus can be pivoted at an angle of up to 90 degrees such that it is stopped on the left and/or right-hand side, and wherein said vertical-lifting apparatus has a comb-like structure with finger-like supporting elements, and wherein these supporting elements are fitted with a number of suction devices, and wherein in order to control the comb-type grippers, sensors and, when two comb-type grippers are used on one guide beam, sensors for coordinating the two comb-type grippers are additionally used, wherein extendable stabilizers are additionally provided on the corresponding column carriages, and wherein laser sensors are used in order to synchronize the comb-type grippers, and f) wherein, in order to control the entire conveying system, so-called field sensors are installed on each portal support, said field sensors being aligned with one another and, in the form of hundreds of mini lenses, collecting optical information in accordance with the optical field principle, it then being possible for said optical information to later be combined using data technology to form images with a desired resolution and/or a desired viewing angle. a) a conveying line which is fitted with conveying rollers, b) a large number of portal supports which are arranged in a linear manner one behind the
