The present disclosure relates to a method of applying a seal material on a glass sheet surface of one or more tempered glass sheets for a vacuum insulated glass unit. The method comprises the steps of: obtaining by means of a sensor system () surface variation data of at least one tempered glass sheet () for said a vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit, and applying seal material () for an edge seal at a surface () of said one or more tempered glass sheet () by means of one or more nozzles () having a nozzle opening () for dispensing said seal material. The method further comprises by means of a control system () controlling one or more adjustment systems () influencing on the applying of said seal material by said one or more nozzles () based on said obtained surface variation data. The disclosure additionally relates to a method of manufacturing a vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit, and a system for applying edge sealing material () for an edge sealing of a vacuum insulated glass unit () and use of a system for applying edge sealing material () for an edge sealing of a vacuum insulated glass unit ().

Method of providing edge seal for vacuum insulated glass unit

The present disclosure relates to a method of applying a seal material in manufacturing a vacuum insulated glazing (VIG) unit, wherein the VIG unit comprises a first glass sheet, having a first interior major surface and a first exterior major surface, a second glass sheet having a second interior major surface and second exterior major surface, the glass sheets are placed in parallel with said interior major surfaces facing each other and providing a gap therein between, and a seal material for providing a seal of said gap, wherein the method comprises the steps of providing a glass sheet, and arranging said seal material on a major surface of at least one of said glass sheets by means of a nozzle having a nozzle opening of elongated shape, such as a rectangular or oval shape, providing a plurality of support structures on the major surface of at least one of the glass sheets, pairing said first glass sheet and said second glass sheet so that the surface of the at least one of said glass sheets comprising the seal material is the interior surface, and evacuating said gap so as to provide said VIG unit. The present disclosure further relates to a method of manufacturing a VIG unit, an application system and a VIG unit.
