The FastLane insulating glass line for processing thermoplastic spacers sets new standards in the production of insulating glass units. Innovative approaches to glass transport and the option of assembling two insulating glass units in parallel make it possible to achieve previously unattainable cycle times. The spacer material allows highly flexible, automated production. Set-up times are also almost completely eliminated. No requirement for external frame production means machinery, personnel and storage costs are reduced. The newly created control station concept allows the entire production to be monitored by just one employee. Maximum end product precision is guaranteed thanks to a multitude of innovations on the line. Permanent and continuous support of each individual sheet of the insulating glass units is ensured - right up to the transport frame.
How is the insulating glass line structured?
The insulating glass production line consists of a washing machine with eight brushes, a quality scanner, a frame setting and inspection station. The FastLane also has an applicator for thermoplastic spacers and an overlift system, as well as an assembly and gas filling press, and sealing machine.
How does the fast insulating glass line for thermoplastic spacers work?
The glass sheets are thoroughly cleaned and then dried in the washing machine. The spacer is automatically and continuously applied to the TPA. Thanks to a unique overlift system, the process can be optimised to the highest level in terms of cycle time. The gas filling press takes care of the assembly, the gas filling process and the pressing of the insulating glass units.
