Molding bench for curving mirrors comprising a sheet () supported on a frame by means of a joint system that prevents the sheet () from shifting and moving and to the lower part of which are fixed a series of air pipes () having a general air header pipe () connected to a vacuum pump. The sheet () consists of a square lattice the intersections of which have perforations that match up with a series of suction points of the air pipes (), intended to produce a vacuum in the bench and which have been previously calibrated, such that said bench can be used to manufacture mirrors having any curvature.

Molding bench for curving mirrors

System for manufacturing facets comprising a frame a series of mirrors and multiple securing parts in which said parts are the key to the invention and are formed by a rod and a circular metal sheet provided with a series of small circular perforations, where the rod and the circular sheet are attached by electric arc welding or any other equivalent fixation and the purpose of which is to secure a curved mirror to the rear structure or frame of a heliostat.
