System and method for transferring glass items
The present invention relates to a system and a method for transferring glass items from machines for shaping glass items of the type that comprises: a rotary cooling platform for receiving, cooling and conveying items formed immediately prior in molds of said shaping machine to a conveyor belt, the rotary cooling platform having a rotational motion towards the left and towards the right, from a first position for receiving items to a second delivery position facing said conveyor belt; first drive means located under the rotary cooling platform in order to rotate same with said rotational motion from said position for receiving items to said second position for delivering items and from said position for delivering items to said position for receiving items; and a pushing mechanism coupled onto the rotary platform, the pushing mechanism being aligned in the first receiving position with each of the recently shaped items of the molds, the pushing mechanism being translated together with said rotary cooling platform from the first position for receiving items to the second position for delivering items; the pushing mechanism having a to-and-fro motion in the second delivery position for pushing the items along a diagonal path, at constant speed, from the rotary cooling platform positioned in said second position towards the conveyor belt in order to place the items aligned above same.
