PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To supply glass sheets taken out of a pallet at a high speed, in a facility for automatically casting the glass sheets continuously into a heating/bending furnace for the glass sheets. SOLUTION: This automatically casting system of the glass sheets into the bending furnace comprises a transfer means 10 for sucking and supporting with a suction pad 13 for transfer the front row of the glass sheet from a plurality of glass sheets 1 vertically stacked on the pallet 4 and for transferring it onto a positioning table 32, a position detecting means 30 for detecting a position coordinate of the glass sheet on the positioning table, and a supply means 50 for transferring the glass sheet from the positioning table to a predetermined position on a conveying table while correcting the position of the glass sheet based on differential information between the position coordinate of the glass sheet on the positioning table and a reference position coordinate. The automatically casting system of the glass sheets into the bending furnace simultaneously performs in parallel an operation of taking the glass sheet out of the pallet and transferring it onto the positioning table, a position detecting operation of the glass sheet on the positioning table, and an operation of setting the glass sheet on the positioning table to the predetermined position on the conveying table.
