Digitally controlled grinder, particularly for glass sheets with straight sides, comprising at least one first conveyance guide which defines a loading surface for at least one glass sheet to be ground and is adapted to convey it into a grinding station, which defines a grinding surface that is adjacent to the loading surface, with the glass sheet to be ground resting, on the loading surface, measurement elements being further comprised, combined rotary and translational motion elements adapted for the combined rotary and translational motion of the loading surface with respect to the grinding surface, and processing and control elements which are functionally connected both to the measurement elements and to the combined rotary and translational motion elements and are adapted to actuate the latter elements as a function of the measurements made by the measurement elements and of the final geometry to be obtained of the glass sheet.

A digitally controlled grinder, particularly for glass sheets with straight sides, comprising at least one first conveyance guide, which defines a loading surface for at least one glass sheet to be ground, adapted to convey said glass sheet to be ground into a grinding station with said glass sheet to be ground resting, at one of its sides to be ground, on said loading surface, said grinding station defining a grinding surface which is adjacent to said loading surface, further comprising measurement means which are adapted to measure either or both of the shape and the dimensions of said glass sheet to be ground arranged on said loading surface, combined rotary and translational motion means adapted for the combined rotary and translational motion of said loading surface with respect to said grinding surface for the combined rotary and translational motion of said glass sheet to be ground with respect to said grinding surface, and processing and control means, which are functionally connected to said measurement means and to said combined rotary and translational motion means and are adapted to actuate said combined rotary and translational motion means as a function of the measurements made by said measurement means and of a final geometry to be obtained of said glass sheet.
