Abstract

A glass sheet forming system (10) has two parallel forming lines (12) that can utilize any two of three forming stations (18) to provide versatility in use for forming different glass sheet jobs of different sizes and shapes while reducing switchover time from one job to the next.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a glass sheet forming system that is versatile in use for the job of economically forming different glass sheets of different sizes and shapes. Background technique [0002] A glass sheet forming system typically includes a furnace that heats the glass sheet for forming; a forming station that periodically receives the heated glass sheet from the furnace to provide forming; and a cooling station located downstream of the forming station to provide cooling , this cooling can be slow cooling for annealing, rapid cooling for thermal strengthening or rapid cooling for tempering. The most efficient operation of such a glass sheet forming station is to minimize downtime between switching from one job to another. This job changeover was initially accomplished by changing the mold or molds used to provide the glass sheet forming, but such a mold changeover required substantial downtime, ranging from four to six hours or more, ...
