Patent ID: 7827825

Claim:
A tool holder device for supporting at least one tool configured to collaborate with an edge of at least one substrate, the device comprising: a first tool configured to move translationally and rotationally; a second tool arranged fixedly and configured to operate while the at least one substrate is moving translationally; a rotary support configured to receive the first tool, and to move translationally along a vertical beam and rotationally relative to the at least one substrate; the vertical beam provided with the rotary support and with a linear guidance element extending at least partially over a height of the vertical beam, the linear guidance element being configured to prevent the rotary support from rotating when the rotary support is moved translationally, wherein the at least one substrate is moved translationally relative to the first tool supported by the rotary support, as the first tool is operating in a predetermined position, collaboration between the first tool and the at least one substrate occurs with or without contact relative to an edge face of the at least one substrate, and the first tool is configured to apply and bond an interlayer to all or part of a periphery and to the edge faces of at least two substrates facing each other, and the second tool is configured to measure, machine, shape, or surface treat the at least one substrate, the first tool being different from the second tool.
