A glass plate automatic drilling and milling machine, adapted to provide for holes and/or openings having different size, configuration and positioning, comprises a support structure provided with rotating rollers (23, 24) for the sliding of the plates disposed on vertical or slightly inclined direction thereon, as well as comprising a grasping pliers (25) for grasping each plate and transferring it toward a drilling and milling unit (13) with fixed installation, which in turn is provided with two carriages (15, 16) identical and opposite symmetrically to each other. Each carriage is provided with spindles (29, 30, 31, 32) for supporting drills and milling cutters having different size, of which the spindles of each carriage operate alternatively in opposition to each other. At the end of machinings, the plates in case are passed through a glass-cleaning machine (20) for being cleaned and subsequently packed.
A machine for automatically drilling and milling glass plates comprising a loading and an unloading area, a support structure (10) provided with a plurality of rotating rollers (23,24) for supporting the glass plates and transporting the glass plates from said loading area to said unloading area, by passing through drilling means controlled by control means, said drilling means controlled by control means being capable of setting and controlling the drilling of openings of different shape and size, the machine further comprising tipping means (19) and cleaning means (20) for the glass plates, said tipping means receiving the glass plates positioned in a horizontal direction and tipping them on a vertical direction so as to arrange them on the drilling and milling machine, said cleaning means cleaning said glass plates at the end of the drilling of openings of different shape and size wherein said support structure (10) is shaped in a manner to house and transport the glass plates arranged on a vertical or slightly inclined position, the machine also comprising grasping means (25) for clasping said glass plates (21) loaded on the machine and arranged by said tipping means onto the drilling and milling machine, and transporting them through said drilling means (29, 30, 31) and means (32) for milling the openings onto said glass plates, said milling means (32) interacting with said drilling means.
