Abstract:
1. A glass-plate working machine comprising: a cutting section including a cutting head with a cutter wheel and a cutting table for supporting a glass plate, for causing said cutting head and said cutting table to undergo contour-controlled movement in an orthogonal plane coordinate system by being subjected to numerical control; and a grinding section including a grinding head with a grinding wheel and a grinding table for holding the glass plate, for causing said grinding head and said grinding table to undergo contour-controlled movement in an orthogonal plane coordinate system by being subjected to numerical control, said cutting section and said grinding section being adapted to depict an identical contour moving locus simultaneously in parallel, while said cutting head and said grinding head being adapted to be angularly controlled about an axis perpendicular to the plane coordinate system, wherein each of said cutting head and grinding head has an angle control motor so as to synchronously operate angular control of said cutting head and angular control of said grinding head, wherein each of said cutting head and said grinding head is laterally mounted to a lower end portion of a respective hollow rotating shaft which is rotatably attached, with its axis perpendicular to a plane of plane coordinate movement, to a moving base which moves as one axis of the plane coordinate movement, and said angle control motor is laterally coupled to an upper end portion of said respective rotating shaft by means of transmitting means, said rotating shaft having a hollow portion extending through from an upper end to a lower end thereof.
