A system (10) and method for forming glass sheets includes a forming station (14) having lower and upper molds (28, 30) between which glass sheets G are cyclically received from a furnace (12) on a transfer platen (34), formed between the lower and upper molds (28, 30), and transferred to a delivery mold (42) for delivery such as to a quench station (16). The transfer platen (34) and the delivery mold (42) are moved at different elevations into the forming station (14) in respective underlapping and overlapping relationships to each other so each glass sheet forming cycle can begin within the forming station before the prior forming cycle is completed in a time overlapping manner that reduces the cycle time.

L'invention porte sur un système (10) et sur un procédé de formation de feuilles de verre, ce système comprenant une station de formation (14) comportant des moules inférieur et supérieur (20, 30) entre lesquels des feuilles de verre G sont reçues cycliquement depuis un four (12) sur une plaque de transfert (34), ces feuilles de verre étant formées entre les moules inférieur et supérieur (28, 30) et transférées vers un moule de distribution (42) pour leur distribution vers une station de trempe (16). La plaque de transfert (34) et les moules de distribution (42) se déplacent à différentes hauteurs dans la station de formation (14) dans des relations sous-jacentes et de chevauchement les uns par rapport aux autres de sorte que chaque cycle de formation de feuille de verre puisse commencer dans la station de formation avant l'achèvement du cycle de formation précédent, par chevauchement temporel, ce qui réduit la durée du cycle.
