The machines no longer set the pace alone. Increasing automation is expanding the sphere of influence of software-controlled intralogistics. Planning and optimization software is taking the place of a production manager who plans and tracks the route of the panes through the production. The software manages, controls, and monitors the production processes and provides ongoing status feedback. The pacemaker is the sorting buffer, which makes it possible to combine conflicting priorities in production. How does today's unmanned production work?

Cutting tables from the ESL-RS series have been reliable tools in our customer's production since the early 90ies. In times of rising energy prices and resource consciousness, retrofitting to save energy reduces costs and equals sustainability.

As we have already emphasised in the previous article, the correct handling of the machines plays an essential role in the clean and high-quality cutting of laminated glass. And, of course, proper production also includes regular maintenance of all components.

Cutting laminated glass requires a total of three machines, which must be joined together to form one unit. However, the cutting process is not only influenced by the quality of the devices themselves, but also by the correct horizontal positioning and regular maintenance and inspection.

Due to the specific properties of laminated safety glass (LSG), a number of factors must also be taken into account when processing this material. After all, the shaped parts not only have to meet very high quality and functional standards, in most cases the aesthetic and visual requirements for the finished products are also extremely high. When cutting LSG, the systems and tools used therefore also play an essential role when it comes to achieving the best results.
