摘要

Roughly cut glass plates (12, 12a, 12b) are supplied to a cutting and breaking station (1) and are there cut and broken in one and the same chucking operation. To this end, there is provided a machining head (4) with a cutting head (13) and a mechanical or thermal breaking system (14), which in successive operations makes a cutting line (S) and relief cuts (27) and then breaks off the plate edges lying outside the cutting line (S). The cut plate is then transferred in a predetermined position into a grinding station (16), where the plate edge is ground. Carrying out the cutting and breaking process in one place leads to a considerable simplification of the installation and to better utilisation of all installation parts. Positioning by means of stops and changing breaking-tool settings with a change of model are rendered superfluous. Programming of the individual machining operations is especially easy. ……
