ABSTRACT:
A method of dividing glass plates for the purpose of reducing the required space in an interim buffer (80) reducing the transit times of different kinds of glasses, comprises generating a sequence of sub-plates (T) from the glass plates (P) stored in a blank plate storage (12), the consecutive sub-plates (T) of the sequence of sub-plates exhibiting identical or different material properties. Each sub-plate (T) is subdivided further by scribing and breaking-off until a desired cut piece has been attained. The generated cut pieces are deposited in a predetermined order in the interim buffer (80) and as called for are processed further. Equipment dividing glass plates into cut pieces accordingly entails that different cutting and breaking-off systems are preceded by at least one intermediate storage receiving at least two glass plates exhibiting different material properties and delivering a programmed sequence of sub-plates, the consecutive sub-plates exhibiting identical or different material properties.
