Abstract
The protruding edge of a plastic sheet in a laminated safety glass panel can be removed, or trimmed, by moving the panel edgewise over a rotating grinding wheel, such that fragments generated by the wheel are directed away from the feed path of the panel. The grinding wheel is resiliently supported by an air cylinder that maintains a desired contact pressure between the edge surface of the wheel and the protruding edge of the plastic sheet.
