Digital glass forming machine

摘要

The present invention relates to the precise control of components in a glass forming machine. The components are driven through mechanical linkage to digitally responsive motor modules. Data corresponding to the desired motion envelope of the component is then stored in a storage means. The digitally responsive motor modules are under the control of a component controller which is actuated by a conventional electronic controller. The component controller provides inputs to the digitally responsive motor modules in accordance with the stored data to provide precise and repeatable control over the motion envelope of the component.
