ABSTRACT:
A dual-mode takeout mechanism is provided for use in, for example, an individual section glassware forming machine. In the normal mode of operation, the formed ware is transported in a fixed radius vertical arc from a molding station to a cooling station and released for further processing. In the reject mode of operation, defective formed ware is transported in an enlarging vertical arc from the molding station to a disposal station. An arm of the takeout mechanism is capable of extending in telescoping fashion, and is activated in the reject mode so as to begin the extension process as the takeout mechanism begins to transport ware from the molding station. A controller is provided to detect when the reject mode has been commanded. The reject mode can be entered for a desired number of cycles by computer command, sensor command, or operator command (manual entry). If the reject mode has been entered, the controller operates a solenoid controlled valve which extends the arm pneumatically.
