  • Patent number: 6359240
    Abstract: Container capacity control system, which is comprised of a first horizontal linear guide (3) where there is a clamp head (13), which can move horizontally and rotate on the horizontal plane and which holds a first clamp (1) and a second clamp (2) for the input and output of an empty container (b1) respectively; a second horizontal linear guide (4) where means for the total filling or predetermined partial filling move; some weighing scales (5), which weigh the container (b1) empty and totally full or partially full with the predetermined amount, sending the weight data to a microprocessor, which controls the programmed system, so that it distinguishes between full-to-the-brim containers and containers partially filled, calculating the capacity based on the weighing data.

  • Patent number: 5575828
    Abstract: Improved bottle extractor for hollow glass molding machines of the type consisting of a mechanical arm for transfer of the hollow glass, with a stepping motor whose output shaft connects directly with the drive shaft of the mechanical arm, the motor being insulated from the rest of the extractor by means of a sheet of thermal insulating material and with a position detector based on the effect produced by an integral plate that has the same axis of rotation as the drive shaft.

  • Patent number: 5485388
    Abstract: A computerized system for the continuous manufactured of individual elements, notably glass containers, is disclosed. A pulse sensor which emits one pulse per cycle is connected to an asynchronous motor with a frequency variator. A CPU is programmed with a synchronism equation that orders the increase or reduction of frequency of each variator according to the pulses received by the CPU programmed with the synchronism equation.
