Method of deflecting conveyor rolls intended for bending glass panels, and assembly applying the method

A method of longitudinally bending conveyor rolls intended for bending glass panels, said method comprising bending the conveyor rolls during a glass-panel bending process by turning a plurality of link members on which the ends of the conveyor rolls are mounted with bearings, wherein, in order to turn the link members of each conveyor roll, at least a first one of the link members is subjected to a force sufficient for its turning by a position-identifying electric drive, and at least a second one of the link members is subjected to a force sufficient for its turning by a second electric drive, which is controlled on the basis of position data provided by the position-identifying electric drive, wherein said first one of the link members is disposed on one end of each said conveyor roll and said second one of the link members is disposed on an opposing end of each conveyor roll.
