Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a glass-plate working machine.
  • a working portion of a working tool is positioned at a working point on a glass plate to be worked by linearly moving the working tool in two directions perpendicular to each other within a plane, or the working portion of the working tool is relatively positioned with respect to a working point on the glass plate to be worked by moving the working tool in a linear direction within a plane while fixing the glass plate to be worked on a rotatable table (see for example EP-A-0168311). Subsequently, for instance, all the peripheral edges of the glass plate are subjected to edging, chamfering, grinding and/or polishing, or the like.
  • Chamfering for instance, is provided for the glass plate which is thus fixed on one side thereof only.
  • the glass plate is fixed on one side, it is difficult to fix the glass plate securely and reliably, and if an attempt is made to press the working tool against a peripheral edge of the glass plate to cut the edge of the glass plate for the purpose of chamfering, for example, there is the risk of the glass plate from becoming offset from its proper position.
  • it is difficult to effect a machining operation by providing a plurality of working tools and allocating working areas to the respective working tools to reduce the machining time, thereby making it impossible to obtain a large volume of worked glass plates in a short time.

  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a glass-plate working machine which makes it possible to substantially eliminate the occurrence of the coiling, twisting and the like of the wiring to a driving device for driving a working tool or an abrasive-solution supplying pipe.
  • Still another object of the present invention is to provide a glass-plate working machine which makes it possible to effect a machining operation by providing a plurality of working tools and allocating working areas to the respective working tools, thereby making it possible to reduce the machining time.
