Summary:A method for separating a glass sheet without the need to score the glass sheet, which comprises the steps of: causing the glass sheet to travel in a traveling direction; separating the glass sheet which is moving using a scoreless separation device which comprises a separation mechanism that generates a stress profile within the moving glass sheet that produces a crack in a predefined location within the moving glass sheet to shear off an edge of the moving glass sheet; wherein after the edge has been sheared off of the moving glass sheet, a remaining portion of the moving glass sheet is curved away from the traveling direction to a greater extent than is the sheared-off edge; and winding the remaining portion of the moving glass sheet onto a take-up roller.
