Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide for sourcing a glass web, the glass web having a length and a width transverse to the length; moving the glass web from the source to a destination in a transport direction along the length of the glass web; cutting the glass web, at a cutting zone, along the length of the glass web into at least first and second glass ribbons as the glass web is moved in the transport direction from the source to the destination, such that respective first and second edge surfaces are produced on the first and second glass ribbons; and optically inspecting at least one of the first and second edge surfaces in real-time as the first and second glass ribbons of the glass web are moved in the transport direction to the destination.
