LiSEC Technology Days 2017

This year, the technology days were held in Isernhagen near Hannover on June 20th and 21st under the motto „Solutions that fit“.

Every two years, LiSEC Germany organizes the meanwhile established technology days. This year, the technology days were held in Isernhagen near Hannover on June 20th and 21st under the motto „Solutions that fit“. Around 60 specialists from the glass industry caught up on current topics and trends of glass processing.

The two-day event began with the presentation of the video „Just make it big“. It shows the largest insulating glass plant in the world, a line for large-size products.

The line was specifically developed by LiSEC for sedak GmbH & Co. KG in Gersthofen, Germany and was installed almost a year ago.

In his welcome speech, Clemens Macarei, General Manager of LiSEC Germany and initiator of the technology days, pointed out that the industry needs the right, tailor-made solution for the respective corporate objectives and the objectives of the entrepreneur.

“Markets strongly driven by competition need the most efficient solutions and the most important pieces of information“, he stated when opening the technology days. The first one to give a lecture was Dr. Klaus Huntebrinker, General Manager of ‘Isolar Glas Beratung’.

He spoke about the new versions of the standards for the glass dimensioning. He outlined the status of the standardization and the interpretation of the regulations in a clear way and gave a passionate plea to point out the personal responsibility of the glass-processing industry when it comes to the drafting of the regulations.

After that, Leopold Dammelhart, Technical Support at LiSEC Austria, presented the cutting machine for laminated glass for the fully automatic cutting of X, Y and Z sections.

The expertise in terms of the tailor-made cutting line for laminated safety glass consists of implementing an optimized mapping of the cutting patterns provided by the customers in the unit. The applied outfeed and lateral transport lengths thus have a significant influence on the cycle time.

Using an example, Dammelhart demonstrated how LiSEC was able to reduce the cycle times in the cutting area by more than 17% due to the optimization and orientation to the customer’s situation.

By means of the new laminated glass cutting plant with X-Y-Z cutting bridge, the speaker very descriptively demonstrated how it is possible to realize an output of more than 90 m² laminated glass per hour with only one operator.
