Modular Air Bearings Designed Specifically for FPD Manufacturing
New Way Air Bearings now offers a line of three modular
air bearing products specifically designed to meet the
glass-handling requirements of the Flat Panel Display
(FPD) manufacturing process. This line includes flat
panel conveyor air bearings for floating glass in high
speed applications, low airflow applications, and for
applications under or near precision processes.
These solutions provide significant advantages over con-
ventional contact bearings or orifice-based air bearings,
especially for coating or AOI applications in Gen-5 or
higher manufacturing lines. Superior stiffness provides
for faster settling time and higher yield, without the
scratching or breakage typical of competitive systems.
And the larger the glass size, the bigger the advantage.

CONVEYOR AIR BEARINGSThe New Way Product Line
750mm High Speed Conveyor Air Bearing
New Way engineered this High Speed Conveyor Air Bearing to provide
improved non-contact control of FPD glass at high process speeds. For the best
control, air gaps should be less than 50 microns. New Way applies large
amounts of vacuum area for strong downward forces on the glass, maintaining
the smaller air gap necessary for higher stiffness and improved damping. The
large, attractive forces give excellent flattening ability that helps maintain con-
trol of the glass.
High Speed Conveyor Air Bearing
750mm Low Airflow Conveyor Air Bearing
Low Airflow Conveyor Air Bearing
New Way’s Low Flow Conveyor Air Bearings provide non-contact control
optimized for low airflow requirements. The difficulty with high fly-heights of
greater than 50 microns is that they typically result in low air film stiffness (less
control) unless they also have correspondingly high pressures and flows. By
plumbing most of the porous media face with low pressure air, and with high
pressure air only around the vacuum holes, the flow requirements are greatly
reduced. The periodic high pressure areas, preloaded by the vacuum, create
high stiffness points which stabilize the glass dynamics even at high air gaps
and low air consumption.
Porous Media Precision Chuck
New Way Porous Media Precision Chucks are engineered for use under or near
precision FPD glass processes. They provide a much higher level of precision,
stiffness, and damping than traditional air conveyors. The vacuum holes are
designed so that, with air pressure on, the flow through a vacuum hole is the
same whether there is glass over it or not. Simple and smart. This also means
that as the glass comes on and off the chuck, the vacuum pressures and air
gaps remain the same.

The Advantages of Porous Media
Unlike conventional orifice compensation, New Way Porous Media Air Bearings
control the airflow across the entire bearing surface through millions of holes in
the porous material. Porous carbon has been found to be one of the best mate-
rials for this purpose, producing an ideal supply of uniform air pressure across
the face of the bearing while automatically restricting and damping the air flow
at the same time. The carbon surface also provides greater bearing protection
if there is an air supply failure, and allows the bearings to be moved during air
failure without damaging the support surface.

NEW WAY AIR BEARINGS POROUS MEDIA AIR BEARING SOLUTIONS™
750mm High Speed Conveyor Air Bearing S22100H750
For the best control of FPD glass, air gaps should
be less than 50 microns. Large amounts of vacuum
area result in large downward forces on the glass
making it difficult to maintain large air gaps. The
smaller gap results in higher stiffness and improved
damping. The large, attractive forces give excellent
flattening ability that helps maintain control of the
glass. This combined with the constant low pres-
sure at the leading edge of the glass prevents the
glass from lifting off the conveyor at high speeds.

LOW AIRFLOW CONVEYOR AIR BEARINGpatent pending
NEW WAY AIR BEARINGS POROUS MEDIA AIR BEARING SOLUTIONS™
750mm Low Airflow Conveyor Air Bearing S22100L750
The periodic high pressure areas, preloaded by the
vacuum, create high stiffness points which stabilize
the glass dynamics even at high air gaps and low
air consumption. Because the pressurized air
bleeds out of the entire bearing face it provides a
high margin of safety against glass touch-down.
Non-Contact Control Optimized for Low Airflow Requirements
750mm Low Airflow Conveyor Air Bearings as part of an Air Conveyor and Precision Chuck FPD Glass Handling System
The problem with high fly-heights (> 50 microns) is
that they typically result in low air film stiffness
(less control) unless they also have corresponding-
ly high pressures and flows. By plumbing most of
the porous media face with low pressure air, and
with high pressure air only around the vacuum
holes, the flow requirements are greatly reduced.

LOW AIRFLOW CONVEYOR AIR BEARINGSpecification Drawings: 750mm Bearing
Maximum Allowable Pressure Supply
Do not exceed 60psi (4 atm). Failure to observe this limitation
could result in damage to the bearing and serious bodily injury.

and off the chuck, the vacuum pressures and air
gaps remain the same.
By being able to move the glass over an array of
Precision Chucks, large substrate sized vacuum
chucks are eliminated. Also, the high pressure air
exiting the gap prevents back-side damage from
contamination between the chuck and the glass.
Non-Contact Control of FPD Glass in Precision Processing
Porous Media Precision Chuck shown with New Way Air Conveyors in a FPD Glass Handling System
New Way Porous Media Precision Chucks are for
use under or near precision processes. They pos-
sess much higher level of precision, stiffness, and
damping than traditional air conveyors. The vacuum
holes are designed so that, with air pressure on,
the flow through a vacuum hole is the same
whether there is glass over it or not. Simple and
smart. This also means that as the glass comes on

CONVEYOR INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS
PAGE 1
PROPER INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE AIR BEARING CONVEYOR IS CRITICAL TO ACHIEVE MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE. THE TOP SURFACE OF EACH CONVEYOR SECTION MUST BE LEVEL AND PROPERLY ALIGNED TO ADJOINING PROCESS EQUIPMENT AND CONVEYOR SECTIONS. THE CONVEYORS SHOULD BE MOUNTED ON A STURDY SUPPORT STRUCTURE WITH PROVISIONS FOR PROPER CONVEYOR POSITIONING AND MOUNTING. THE AIR SUPPLIED TO THE CONVEYORS MUST BE CLEAN AND DRY. AIR AND VACUUM SUPPLY PLENUMS MUST BE SIZED TO INSURE THAT PRESSURE AND VACUUM FLOW REQUIREMENTS ARE MET. THE OPTIONAL MOUNTING FEET PROVIDE A PRE-DESIGNED SOLUTION FOR ATTACHMENT AND ALIGNMENT OF THE CONVEYOR AND ALSO PROVIDE PRESSURE AND VACUUM CONNECTIONS.
CONVEYOR ADJUSTMENT FEATURES THE FOLLOWING ILLUSTRATION DESCRIBES THE FEATURES THAT ARE PROVIDED FOR HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT WHEN THE OPTIONAL MOUNTING FEET ARE INSTALLED ON THE CONVEYOR SECTIONS.
M6 JACK-UP ADJUSTMENT SCREW
O-RING(S)
USE THE M6 HOLD-DOWN ADJUSTMENT SCREWS TO PULL THE CONVEYOR DOWN AGAINST
THE O-RINGS AND PRELIMINARILY ADJUST THE HEIGHT OF THE
CONVEYOR.
USE THE M6 JACK UP ADJUSTMENT SCREWS TO FINALIZE CONVEYOR ADJUSTMENT. TIGHTEN OR LOOSEN THE HOLD-DOWN ADJUSTMENT SCREWS AS NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN SUFFICIENT OPPOSING PRESSURE AND PREVENT ADJUSTMENT DRIFT.
M6 ROUGH ADJUSTMENT SCREW WITH WASHER
M6 HOLD-DOWNADJUSTMENT SCREWS
WITH WASHER
THE O-RINGS PREVENT LEAKS BETWEEN THE MANIFOLD AND THE CONVEYOR. ENSURE THAT THE GAP BETWEEN THE MANIFOLD AND THE CONVEYOR MOUNTING FOOT DOES NOT EXCEED 0.80MM TO INSURE SEAL INTEGRITY.
M6 JACK UP ADJUSTMENT SCREW
THE EFFECTIVE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT RANGE OF THE MOUNTING FEET IS 0.80MM WHEN MOUNTING TO A UNIFIED SUPPORT STRUCTURE AND MANIFOLD. IF THE MANIFOLD CONNECTION IS SEPARATED FROM THE SUPPORT STRUCTURE, THIS ADJUSTMENT RANGE CAN BE GREATLY INCREASED.

ROUGH ADJUSTMENT
INITIALLY, THE CONVEYOR SECTIONS SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND THE GAP BETWEEN THE ADJUSTMENT FEET AND THE SUPPORT STRUCTURE AND MANIFOLD ADJUSTED TO A NOMINAL GAP OF 0.40 MM. THIS WILL PLACE THE CONVEYOR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 0.80 MM RANGE OF THE ADJUSTMENT FEET. AT THIS TIME, THE GENERAL LEVELNESS OF THE CONVEYOR SECTIONS AND THE ALIGNMENT OF THE CONVEYORS TO OTHER PROCESS EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE NOTED. THE SUPPORT STRUCTURE POSITION SHOULD BE MODIFIED IF NECESSARY. ONCE THE SUPPORT STRUCTURE POSITIONING IS DETERMINED TO BE SATISFACTORY, ADJUST ALL CONVEYOR SECTIONS TO BE LEVEL AND ALIGNED ON THE SAME PLANE. USE THE HOLD-DOWN AND JACK-UP ADJUSTMENT SCREWS, MASTER FLAT, LEVEL AND A 0.025 MM (OR SMALLER) FEELER GAGE TO GET THE ROUGH ADJUSTMENT AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE.

FINE ADJUSTMENT
ROUGH ADJUSTMENT WILL SET EACH OF THE CONVEYOR’S SECTIONS LEVEL AND CLOSE TO FINAL POSITION IN RELATION TO OTHER PROCESS EQUIPMENT AND CONVEYOR SECTIONS. FINE ADJUSTMENT IS A FINE-TUNING OF THE TRANSITION POINTS TO ENSURE SMOOTH FLOW OF WORK ALONG THE CONVEYOR. THE ALLOWABLE MISMATCH AT EACH TRANSITION POINT WILL VARY BASED ON APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS. USE THE JACK-UP ADJUSTMENT SCREWS TO ADJUST, TIGHTEN OR LOOSEN THE HOLD-DOWN ADJUSTMENT SCREWS AS NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN SUFFICIENT OPPOSING PRESSURE AND PREVENT ADJUSTMENT DRIFT. BE CAREFUL NOT TO USE TOO MUCH FORCE. THIS MAY DISTORT THE BEARING AWAY FROM THE TRANSITION POINT.
FINE ADJUSTMENT (SIDE VIEW)
MINIMIZE THIS DISTANCE
INDICATOR USE INDICATOR TO FINE-TUNE TRANSITION ALIGNMENT. ENSURE THAT STEP BETWEEN CONVEYOR SECTIONS IS 5 MICRONS OR LESS. (THIS DISTANCE MAY VARY WITH APPLICATION).
MOVE INDICATOR BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN SECTIONS. BE CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE THE TOP SURFACE OF CONVEYORS.
