Digitally controlled grinder, particularly for glass sheets with straight sides

摘要

Digitally controlled grinder (1), particularly for glass sheets with straight sides, comprising at least one first conveyance guide (8) which defines a loading surface (9) for at least one glass sheet (10) to be ground and is adapted to convey it into a grinding station (7b), which defines a grinding surface (14) that is adjacent to the loading surface (9), with the glass sheet (10) to be ground resting, at one of its sides to be ground (10a), on the loading surface (9), measurement means (18) being further comprised which are adapted to measure either or both of the shape and the dimensions of the glass sheet (10) to be ground arranged on the loading surface (9), combined rotary and translational motion means (19) adapted for the combined rotary and translational motion of the loading surface (9) with respect to the grinding surface (14) for the combined rotary and translational motion of the glass sheet (10) to be ground with respect to the grinding surface (14), and processing and control means (20) which are functionally connected both to the measurement means (18) and to the combined rotary and translational motion means (19) and are adapted to actuate the latter means as a function of the measurements made by the measurement means (18) and of the final geometry to be obtained of the glass sheet (10).
