Cutting and edge-coating removal head to be mounted on cutting benches of sheets of glass

A glass cutting and edge-coating removal head mounted on a cutting bench and adapted for cutting sheets of glass coated with a protective film and for edge-coating removal of a portion of the film prior to cutting the glass wherein said head is mounted on a bridging cross-piece (K) of the cutting bench adapted for longitudinal movement above a plane (P) on which a sheet of glass (V) coated with a protective film (S) is arranged for cutting, said head comprising:

• a plate (2) adapted for transverse sliding movement on said bridging cross-piece (K),
• a cutting group (20.1) including a cutting tool (20) arranged at a base end of a pin (21) operatively connected at an upper end to a first motor (22) adapted to orient the cutting tool (20) for cutting the sheet of glass (V), and
• an edge-coating removal group (10.1) including an edge-coating removal tool (10) arranged at a base end of a tube (11) coaxially circumscribing said cutting tool (20) and pin (21), said tube (11) being adapted for axial rotation so that the rotation of the edge-coating removal tool (10) removes a portion of the film (S) from the glass sheet (V) to thereby allow the cutting of the glass sheet (V) by the cutting tool (20),
• said cutting group (20.1) and said edge-coating removal group (10.1) being mounted on said plate (2) so as to form a single drive column (30).
