Abstract
In a glass sheet processing/handling machine, at least one electric motor for powering a respective movable member is powered by a drive having a direct power device connected to an industrial electric power mains; and a rechargeable power device alternative to the direct power device and having a storage block for storing energy produced by the electric motor when decelerating the relative movable member.
Claims6
1) A glass sheet processing/handling machine, the machine comprising at least one movable member movable according to a given law of motion, depending on the process to be performed and/or the type of sheet for handling;
- an electric motor for powering said movable member;
- and a drive for driving said electric motor and connectable to an industrial electric power mains;
- said drive comprising a first direct power device comprising an alternating-direct voltage converter block connectable to said industrial electric power mains, a direct-current power line connected to said converter block, a power-up circuit, and a direct-alternating voltage converter block connected directly to said direct-current power line on one side, and to said electric motor on the other;
- the machine being characterized in that said drive also comprises a rechargeable power device for powering said electric motor, and comprising a storage block for storing energy produced by said electric motor when braking, and interface means connected electrically to said direct-current power line and to said storage block.
