Abstract

A grinding machine (1) for processing a glass sheet (L) movable along a horizontal transport direction (X), comprising a control unit, at least one tool unit (3, 3A, 3B) movable along a direction (Y) transverse to said transport direction (X) of the glass sheet (L) and having a spindle (12, 12A, 12B), and a detection device (4, 4A, 4B) associated with the tool unit (3, 3A, 3B) and adapted to detect the position of the glass sheet (L) along said transport direction (X). The detection device (4, 4A, 4B) comprises a slider (5, 5A, 5B) movable along a guide direction (C) and bearing a pad (6, 6A, 6B) for contact with an edge of said glass sheet (L), an actuator (7, 7A, 7B) for moving said slider (5, 5A, 5B) along said guide direction (C), and a linear position transducer (8, 8A, 8B) for detecting the position of said slider (5, 5A, 5B) along said guide direction (C). The actuator (7, 7A, 7B) is mounted on an adjustable support (9, 9A, 9B) adapted to move said slider (5, 5A, 5B) reversibly from a first position in which said pad (6, 6A, 6B) is vertically spaced from the movement plane of said glass sheet (L), so as not to interfere with the movement of said glass sheet (L), to a second position in which said pad (6, 6A, 6B) is arranged transversely to the movement plane of said glass sheet (L), so as to be able to engage said edge of the glass sheet (L). Compared to the prior art, the invention offers the advantage of allowing to know the exact position of the glass sheet relative to the spindle of the tool unit that performs the processing of the sheet itself, thanks to a reading of the same position performed directly on the body of the glass sheet.
