Patent ID: 8312981

Claim:
A device for the contamination-free and precise-path conveying and rotating of thin, impact-sensitive crystalline panels, in particular glass panels, in one plane, comprising: a) a roller conveyor, in which the surfaces of the carrier rollers ( 8 ) have a structure resembling a helix, adjacent carriers ( 9 ) have helical structures of the carrier rollers ( 8 ) running in opposite directions, and a high-grade water cross-linked polyurethane elastomer is used as material for the carrier rollers ( 8 ), b) a further, second roller conveyor acting as an angle conveyor, in which in a corresponding area additional rollers ( 7 ), which run in a required direction and are rotatable in respect of their carriers, and which can be raised above the level of the roller conveyor by means of a lifting device, are provided in a space between the rollers ( 8 ), c) a further, third roller conveyor, in which in the corresponding area additional further rollers ( 10 ), which can be raised above the level of the roller conveyor by means of a centrally supported, rotatable lifting device, are provided in the space between the rollers ( 8 ) for a rotation of a glass panel ( 6 ) independent of the running direction, d) a device for adjusting the spacing of the carriers ( 9 ) in the area of the second roller conveyor acting as said angle conveyor, e) a device for monitoring the positioning of a glass panel ( 6 ) by means of lasers and/or sensors.
