When glass size becomes a challenge: The LiSEC solution for inspection and frame assembly

In modern glass processing, many companies face the challenge of processing insulating glass efficiently and without errors. High raw material costs and sustainability considerations make it essential to keep the error rate as low as possible. Especially in the manufacture of large-format glass elements, it is crucial that no damaged or contaminated panes enter the further production process. The new LiSEC FSI-A station offers a sophisticated combination of inspection and assembly assistance – specially developed for large and heavy glass elements.

Last step frame application: Fully automated IG production

Insulating glass production, an important part of the global glass industry, is constantly evolving. While the production of IG units with flexible (VSA) and thermoplastic (TPA) spacers was already possible in an automated process, rigid spacers continued to pose a challenge for machine developers. LiSEC has now succeeded in realizing this production step without operator interaction. Applying rigid spacers automatically - how does that work?

Fully automated: Every pane knows its path

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?

LiTEC Accurate: Automated dimension measurement | DQS-A

High-precision manual measurement of glass panes is difficult for rectangular panes up to a certain size - and almost impossible for oversized panes, special shapes or panes with internal processing (such as holes and cut-outs). The LiTEC Accurate quality control station with new suction cup technology was developed to simplify and automate this process.
