ABSTRACT:
A pair of bearing rails support a plurality of conveyor rolls in a glass sheet bending station. Each of the bearing rails has a pair of linear actuators pivotally coupled to opposite ends thereof for permitting movement of the bearing rails in a vertical direction. The ends of each bearing rail are also coupled to a pair of roller racks which extend in a generally horizontal direction and are slidably attached to a supporting framework for moving the bearing rails toward and away from one another. The bearing rails are coupled to the roller racks by spherical bearings which permit the bearing rails to be canted or rotated about their longitudinal axes. The vertical, horizontal and rotational adjustments allow the conveyor rolls to be positioned for different configurations of glass sheets as the sheets are transported through the bending station.
