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 mechanism for bending glass comprising a seating device and a mold configured to bend a substrate to a desired shape, the substrate adaptable to be provided on the seating device. A position of the mold in relation to the seating device can be controlled by a programmable counterweight system.
