Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1072358A2] Described herein is an apparatus for machining the edges of glass plates (L), where the plate (L) is supported in a plane that is substantially vertical or anyway strongly inclined with respect to the horizontal, and is made to rotate in this plane. The plate is carried by a supporting assembly (4), which is in turn mounted on a slide (8) that is mobile on the fixed supporting structure of the apparatus in a horizontal direction of motion towards and away from a machining head (13) equipped with a grinding wheel (14) orientable in space. The movements of the mobile parts of the apparatus are governed by a numerical control system (24) in which the profile of the plate of glass to be machined is preliminarily acquired. <IMAGE>
