SCRIM GLASS MANAGEMENT

Abstract:

Example systems described herein are configured to manage a continuous scrim-glass web slit from a side of a continuous glass web. For instance, a system may include a first roller, a nipping roller, and a breaker. The first roller is configured to support the continuous scrim-glass web. The nipping roller is configured to isolate vibration originating from the continuous scrim-glass web by applying pressure onto the continuous scrim-glass web that is threaded between the nipping roller and the first roller. The breaker is configured to intermittently break portions of the continuous scrim-glass web from the continuous scrim-glass web while the continuous scrim-glass web traverses between the nipping roller and the first roller by applying a force to the continuous scrim-glass web.
