LISEC, an international company offering comprehensive solutions for the production and refinement of flat glass, will put the spotlight on its latest innovations in glass edge processing, insulating glass production and glass cutting at a major glass trade show this month.

The Austria-headquartered company will be showcasing machines for float glass cutting, glass sorting, frame manufacturing, flat glass processing and laminated glass production at Vitrum 2013, which is set to take place in Milan, Italy, from October 23 to 26.

It will also be exhibiting a wide range of products in the fields of automation, project planning and service over 800 sq m of exhibition space.

At the glass trade show, the company will demonstrate the advantages of vertical glass processing by showcasing the KSU, a new vertical edge processing machine that has been especially developed for seaming glass edges.

“The benefits of the vertical design include short processing times, easy glass handling and straightforward operation. The KSU can also easily seam large glass sheets and shapes. It is not only ideally suited for stand-alone operation but can also be directly integrated into vertical production lines,” says a spokesman for Lisec.

The modular design of Lisec systems offers maximum flexibility – from simple manual systems to fully automated ones. In this way, the laminated glass production equipment can grow with the volume of business. Furthermore, modular concepts make it possible to upgrade individual components and gradually streamline manufacturing lines. Also on display will be a new pre-lamination line for laminated safety glass production.

Lisec will highlight its pioneering role in the field of frame production by displaying its automatic production line for all ‘traditional’ spacer types made from a range of different materials, such as metal, plastic or hybrid materials. The company will exhibit an automatic bending machine, a frame-filling system and a new, fully automatic butyl applicator for even more precise sealant application.

Turning to its glass cutting and handling lines, the spokesman says: “The demands on glass cutting machines differ greatly across the world. Lisec meets these demands by offering a new compact GCL cutting table for split stock sizes – a start-up system for small and medium sized companies.

“Demands on glass handling and sorting systems are equally diverse. Automation and flexibility are what is called for. Lisec will introduce an enhanced sorting system, which allows glass processing companies to transport cut glass sheets easily and ergonomically to other production stations, where they undergo further processing.”

Lisec will present machine demonstrations, show concepts and software solutions for automated production, as well as introduce its worldwide service network for efficient and prompt customer support.
