Abstract
A machine for radiusing the corners of glass sheets (K) by tools (A, B, C) operated by an electric motor (33), in which the electric motor (33) is supported vertically movable by a first support structure (34), which is supported rotatable about vertical axis (Y) by a second support structure (13) moveable horizontally in two mutually perpendicular directions (X, R).
Claims13
A machine for radiusing the corners of glass sheets (K) by tools (A, B, C), comprising:
- three different coaxial tools (A, B, C);
- an electric motor (33) driving the three different coaxial tools;
- a first drive means (46) for vertically moving the electric motor (33);
- a first support structure (34) supporting the first drive means (46) and supporting the electric motor (33) so that the electric motor is vertically movable by the first drive means (46);
- a rotatable pin (17) defining a vertical axis (Y);
- a second support structure (13) rotatably supporting the pin and rotatably supporting the first support structure about the vertical axis (Y);
- second support structure (13) movable horizontally in two mutually perpendicular directions (X, R);
- an intermediate member (27) slidingly engaged, in an undercut manner, with the first support structure (34);
- the pin being slidingly engaged in an undercut manner with the intermediate member (27);
- a second drive means (40), supported by the intermediate member (27), operationally connected to said first support structure (34);
- and
- a screw means (29);
- the intermediate member (27) cooperating with the pin (17) via the screw means (29) for setting the radius of curvature of a radiusing operation.
