Technical BackgroundPulling rolls are used in the manufacture of sheet glass to apply tension to the ribbon of glass from which the sheets are formed and thus control the nominal sheet thickness. For example, in the overflow downdraw fusion process (see Dockerty, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,338,696 and 3,682,609), pulling rolls are placed downstream of the tip or root of the fusion pipe and are used to adjust the rate at which the formed ribbon of glass leaves the pipe and thus determine the nominal thickness of the finished sheet.A successful pulling roll can meet a number of conflicting criteria. A pulling roll should be able to withstand the high temperatures associated with newly formed glass for substantial periods of time. The longer a pulling roll can last in such an environment the better, since the time required for roll ...
