Abstract
A method of and device for curving a glass sheet, in which the glass sheet is brought through a reheating furnace by a conveyor defining a substantially horizontal transportation plane, and is then taken over by a tool, by means of which the glass sheet is curved and/or transferred to a curving and/or discharge device. The effective position of the glass sheet is detected and the taking-over tool is repositioned as a function of the effective position.
