    Abstract: A system and method for bending one or more thin glass structures. The system includes heating, bending and cooling zones, each having a plurality of modules aligned and connected to each other to define elongated tunnels, wherein adjacent heating modules are separated from each other by a furnace door. A conveyance mechanism carries the one or more thin glass structures through the modules via the elongated tunnels. Each of the modules include one or more heating elements, each heating element being independently controllable by element or set of elements as a function of a temperature profile for the one or more thin glass structures. The temperature profile can be determined as a function of temperature on the one or more thin glass structures.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a honeycomb extrusion die. The die includes a feed hole plate and a pin assembly comprising pins extending feed hole plate. One or more of the pins includes a head including an alignment surface, flow surfaces, a contact surface, and a taper located between the alignment surface and the contact surface. The pins are adhered to the output surface of the feed hole plate at their respective contact surfaces. A tail of each pin is connected to the head and extends away from the feed hole plate. The alignment surfaces of adjacent pins contact each other, such that the tails of adjacent pins are spaced apart to at least partially define discharge slots. The flow surfaces of adjacent pins are spaced apart to at least partially define channels to enable flow from the feed holes to exit the honeycomb extrusion die through the discharge slots.

    Abstract: A honeycomb extrusion die (100), a method of making the same, and an apparatus for forming the same. The die (100) includes: a feed hole plate (202) comprising an input surface (202A), an opposing output surface (202B), and feed holes (108) configured to guide a batch material from the input surface (202A) to the output surface (202B); and a pin assembly (204) comprising pins (300) disposed on the feed hole plate (202). At least one of the pins includes: a tail (304); a head (302) connected to the tail (304) and comprising alignment surfaces (314) configured to align the pins (300), flow surfaces (316) disposed between the alignment surfaces (314), and a tapered portion (310) comprising a contact surface (308) adhered to the output surface (202B) of the feed hole plate (202); and a first groove (306) disposed between the head (302) and the tail (304). In the pin assembly (204), the alignment surfaces (314) contact adjacent pins (300) to align the pins (300), such that discharge slots are at least partially defined by the tails (304) of the pins (300).
