The cooled glass ribbon exits the annealing lehr and is conveyed to the cutting area by a system of rollers and drives linked to the lehr drive system. The glass is scored by carbide cutting wheels, parallel and perpendicular to the ribbon travel, into sizes that meet the plant's customer requirements. The scored glass ribbon is then separated into lites for packaging by unloading personnel or automatic equipment for transfer to the wareroom for storage or shipment to the customer.
