A glass manufacturing apparatus includes a glass ribbon gripping device including a first column of jaw clamps spaced from one another along a first clamp path extending in a glass ribbon travel direction of the glass manufacturing apparatus. The glass manufacturing apparatus includes a second column of jaw clamps spaced from one another along a second clamp path extending in the glass ribbon travel direction of the glass manufacturing apparatus. The first column of jaw clamps and the second column of jaw clamps are spaced apart in a lateral direction perpendicular to the glass ribbon travel direction. Additionally, methods of manufacturing a glass ribbon with the glass manufacturing apparatus are provided. 一种玻璃制造装置包括玻璃条带抓取设备，所述玻璃条带抓取设备包括：第一列爪夹，沿着在所述玻璃制造装置的玻璃条带行进方向上延伸的第一夹持路径彼此隔开。所述玻璃制造装置包括：第二列爪夹，沿着在所述玻璃制造装置的所述玻璃条带行进方向上延伸的第二夹持路径彼此隔开。所述第一列爪夹和所述第二列爪夹在与所述玻璃条带行进方向垂直的侧向方向上隔开。此外，提供了用所述玻璃制造装置制造玻璃条带的方法。
