  • Patent number: 9387994
    Abstract: A machine for cutting flat glass sheets has a fixed frame for supporting a worktable, which can be lifted, with rotation device, for loading and unloading sheets or sheet portions, and a movable bridge capable of performing a translational motion with respect to the worktable which supports a cutting head capable of moving on the bridge. The movable bridge slides on rails associated with a fixed frame and the rotation device for the liftable worktable has at least one lifting arm, which is fixed to the movable worktable and pivoted to the fixed frame, the lifting arm being contoured so as to extend around and not affect, during its rotation, the rails for the movable bridge, a portion of the rails extending so as to affect the region of rotation of the lifting arm.

  • Patent number: 9302929
    Abstract: A tilting device for cropping a sheet of laminated glass, comprising two side-by-side rows of suckers, each supported by a bar of a frame which is pivoted, on the opposite side with respect to the suckers, to a supporting structure, the bars both resting on the same elements for the alternating lifting and lowering of the bars, which are adapted to produce the simultaneous alternating tilting of both of the frames and of the corresponding rows of suckers.

  • Patent number: 8951176
    Abstract: A tool changing device for a cutting head of a machine for cutting flat glass sheets, the tool changing device comprising: a bridge; a carriage for supporting the cutting head, the carriage being slidingly attached to the bridge for translation along the bridge; an electric motor that provides for translational motion of the carriage with respect to the bridge; and a tool supporting slider, which is configured to support a plurality of tools such that the tools can be automatically exchanged between the tool supporting slider and the cutting head, the tool supporting slider coupled, by way of reversible fixing elements to the cutting head supporting carriage during work by the cutting head, and wherein the tool supporting slider is uncoupled from the cutting head supporting carriage during tool changing operations.

  • Patent number: 8574034
    Abstract: There is provided a cutting and edge-coating removal head for sheets of glass (V) coated by a film (S) to be mounted on cutting benches. The cutting tool (20) is positioned inside the edge-coating removal tool (10), consisting of a diamond-tipped disc, a cup grinder or spark grinder, a pad, a blade, or a brush with steel bristles.

  • Publication number: 20120214654
    Abstract: A tool changing device for a cutting head of a machine for cutting flat glass sheets, comprising, so that they can slide in a parallel arrangement with elements for sliding on a bridge that supports a cutting head, a carriage for supporting the cutting head, with a motor for translational motion on the bridge, a tool supporting slider, which is normally coupled, by way of reversible fixing elements, to the head supporting carriage during the work of the cutting head and which can be uncoupled, for tool changing operations, in order to allow the movement of the carriage with respect to the slider, which is stationary, to select a tool to be used.
