How is glass actually cut professionally? From the basics of cutting to the differences between single and laminated glass, all the way to modern automation solutions – this article provides you with a compact overview of the most important methods, technologies, and tips related to glass cutting.

The decoating process is influenced by numerous factors, including the type, diameter and width of the grinding wheel, the rotational speed, the decoating speed and the type of coating. These parameters can have a significant impact on the quality of the edge decoating, especially if one factor causes the grinding wheel to overheat during the decoating process. The consequences: uneven results, increased wear and unnecessary costs. With LiTEC Temperature Control, LiSEC has developed a solution that addresses precisely this issue – for greater process reliability, quality and efficiency.

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.

Since the beginning of the 1990s, LiSEC has been actively shaping the cutting possibilities of laminated glass. Several successful innovations have already been introduced to the market based on years of experience. At glasstec 2018 the latest generation of LiSEC laminated glass cutting machines was presented: the VSL-A.
