ABSTRACT:
An electronic glass gob distributor for machines which form glassware, thermoplastic or similar articles, comprising one or more glass gob distributing channels each supported on its rotatable shaft, a step motor for actuating each rotatable shaft to move the associated distributor channel toward respective forming stations, a pulse signal generator for each step motor, a pulse amplifier for each glass gob distributor channel to amplify and feed the pulse controlling signals to the respective step motor, and a microcomputer programmer for controlled sequence of the generated pulse signals eminating from a data processing unit connected to an operator's control panel, with suitable conductors from the data processing unit to gob feed sensors and to distribution channel position sensors, with additional conductors to solenoids operating a pneumatic valve adapted to actuate a fluid operated linear motor for moving rejecting channels into gob receiving position to prevent feeding of a gob into the glassware forming position when said gob is not desired for some specific reason, the operator's control panel including three stations, namely: visual information indicators, a digital switch section and a multiple switch section with emergency, start, read, reset, confirm, position and connect buttons, all of the elements of the control panel being connected to the microcomputer through an interface unit of multiple units.
