Abstract
The invention relates to a device for reshaping a rotating glass intermediate, in particular a glass tube, comprising at least one shaping roller, which is translationally displaceable into a shape-rolling contact with the glass intermediate for shaping, and comprising at least one linear motor for the translational positioning of the at least one shaping roller in such a way that the shaping roller directly follows a translational positioning movement of the translator of the linear motor.
Claims19
A device for reshaping a rotating glass intermediate comprising:
- at least one shaping roller, which is translationally displaceable into a shape-rolling contact with the glass intermediate for shaping,
- at least one linear motor for the translational positioning of the at least one shaping roller, wherein the shaping roller directly follows a translational positioning movement of a translator of the linear motor, and
- at least one measuring system with an optical measuring unit and a measuring strip for measuring the translational positioning movement of the translator, wherein the measuring unit or the measuring strip is fixedly connected to the translator in such a way that the measuring unit or the measuring strip directly follows the translational positioning movement of the translator, wherein an optical signal is projected from the measuring unit onto the measuring strip.
A system for producing a rotationally symmetrical glass product, said system comprising:
- a) a receptacle for rotatably holding a glass intermediate,
- b) a device for reshaping the glass intermediate, the device comprising:
- at least one shaping roller, which is translationally displaceable into a shape-rolling contact with the glass intermediate for shaping,
- at least one linear motor for the translational positioning of the at least one shaping roller, wherein the shaping roller directly follows a translational positioning movement of a translator of the linear motor, and
- at least one measuring system with an optical measuring unit and a measuring strip for measuring the translational positioning movement of the translator, wherein the measuring unit or the measuring strip is fixedly connected to the translator in such a way that the measuring unit or the measuring strip directly follows the translational positioning movement of the translator, wherein an optical signal is projected from the measuring unit onto the measuring strip, and
- c) a carousel for moving the receptacle to different manufacturing stations, or for moving the at least one shaping roller to different receptacles for glass intermediates.
