Patent ID: 8404996

Claim:
A system for deleting edges from coated substrate and separating said substrate into individual modules along edge-deleted strips, comprising: a permanently mounted upper bridge, a bearing surface under the upper bridge on which said substrate is positioned and is oriented toward said upper bridge with a tool which is mounted on an upper slide, said slide being moveably disposed on the upper bridge for movement in the y-direction, at least one drive and a control unit connected to the drive, said tool being a laser head for directing a first laser beam from above onto said substrate, and at least one suction funnel of a suction unit disposed at a fixed predetermined distance from and near said laser head, a lower bridge disposed underneath said bearing surface parallel to said upper bridge, a laser scanner being disposed on said lower bridge under a suction funnel to be movable in the y-direction, said bearing surface being a conveyor table on which said substrate can be conveyed in the x-direction, said conveyor table having recesses that correspond to the edge strips so that a second laser beam exiting from the laser scanner can impinge from below upon said substrate without being obstructed, and a vertically movable first break-off knife disposed parallel to the upper bridge, and a vertically movable second break-off knife, at right angles thereto, that can be moved in the y-direction to break the substrate along generated separation cracks.
