<p>A molten glas gob distributor (10) for a glass container manufacturing system that includes a plurality of gob discharges (18,20,22) and a plurality of scoops (12,14,16) for receiving gobs from each such discharge and distributing the gobs among a plurality of troughs (30,32,34) leading to associated molds (35a,35b,35c) in an IS machine. Each scoop is mounted to rotate about a fixed axis with the upper end remaining positioned beneath the associated gob discharge while the lower end swings through an arc adjacent to the associated troughs. A plurality of electric servo motors (48,50,52) are individually coupled to each associated scoop for selectively and individually rotating the scoops. The electric motors are connected to servo motor controllers (60,62,64) for synchronizing operation of the motors and rotation of the scoops to each other and to operation of the forming machine (35). The motor controllers synchronize operation of each motor by means of a synchronizing input from the forming machine (Fig. 1). <IMAGE></p> |
