A glass forming machine and a method for manufacturing formed glass parisons. A glass forming machine includes a blank side for forming parisons from gobs of molten glass. The blank side includes a plunger and a blank mould. The plunger can be moved into the blank mould up to an end position. The plunger can be moved out of the blank mould up to a start position. The glass forming machine includes a glass feeding device which is configured to bring a gob of molten glass into the blank mould. The glass forming machine includes a measuring device which is configured to measure the end position of the plunger. The glass feeding device is configured such that the size of a gob of molten glass depends on the end position previously reached during operation. Parisons of good quality can be produced with a bigger tolerance of mould volumina.
