<p>PURPOSE: An edge polishing device used for a machine for machining an edge of a plate, particularly a glass plate, is provided to reduce the distance between two contiguous plates being worked, thus reducing idle times. CONSTITUTION: An edge grinding unit(1) for machines for working the edges of plates in general and of glass sheets in particular comprises at least at one rim of a plate being worked, a grinding wheel(2) which is accommodated in a carousel element(3) provided with a rotatable cage formed by a plurality of circumferentially distributed rollers(4). The edge grinding unit further comprises an arm(10) for supporting the grinding wheel(2) which provides, for the grinding wheel(2), a first oscillation axis(11) and a second oscillation axis(12) which are spaced one another and are substantially perpendicular to the advancement plane of the plate.</p> |
