Study on the basic characteristics of a noncontact air conveyor for large glass sheets

Recently, the development of displays requires large, thin glass substrates, and air film conveyors equipped with porous pads have been developed to transport the substrates in a noncontact state. In this study, a contactless air film system with aligned porous pads is proposed. Experiments and anal...
