Abstract: The invention relates to a method for stopping a glass panel conveyed from a
furnace into a tempering station or a bending and tempering station. In the
method, a glass panel is carried upon rolls and pressed by means of overhead
press rollers, as the conveying speed of the rollers is decelerated for stopping
the glass panel. Over a deceleration distance, the rate of deceleration is within
the range of 0,6 - 3 m/s 2 . By virtue of the overhead press rollers, the rate of
deceleration can be increased, such that the glass exit speed from a furnace
can be raised and, at the same time, the glass cooling time can be minimized
prior to a tempering process.
