Apparatus and method for glass sheet forming

摘要

A glass sheet forming system (10) includes apparatus (12) having a forming station (22) for forming glass sheets by cooperation of a lower deformable roll forming conveyor (26) and an upper deformable roll forming press (32). The upper deformable roll forming press (32) includes upper deformable rolls (34) whose axes are located along a direction of conveyance between the axes of lower deformable rolls (28) of the lower deformable roll forming conveyor (26) in a manner that prevents leading glass edge curling as the lower conveyor and upper forming press are moved between flat and curved shapes to provide glass sheet forming.
