Pressing
The high-end gas filling press AGP-A is suitable for a wide range of applications due to the individual configuration options and impresses with the highest precision and quality. The improved AGP-A transport system supports all glass lites sheets during assembly, allowing the processing of thermoplastic spacers as well.
Glass transport is realised via a belt transport system on each side of the press. The reinforced design with the AGP-A also allows the processing of thick glass thicknesses and heavy unit weights. The pressed panel surfaces are made of special multi-layer panels, which guarantee precise package thickness of the insulating glass unit with the lowest manufacturing tolerances.
The waterproofing of the pressing chamber is achieved on the inlet side by means of a partition and on the outlet side by means of a moveable seal bar, so that the gas consumption is minimised.
The first glass sheet is transported in and positioned in the press after the trailing edge has been detected by a sensor. The vacuum suction cups on the opposite moveable press plate take over this glass sheet. At the same time, this glass sheet is supported by the belt carrier on the moveable press plate. The second glass sheet equipped with spacers is transported in and placed in the same position as the previous glass sheet. The press chamber is then made waterproofed. In the newly formed cell, a rising gas cloud fills the interior space of the unit and displaces the enclosed air upwards without producing any turbulence. Once the required gas amount has been attained, the unit is pressed and sent out.
Its universal application possibilities mean that the LiSEC AGP-A can be used by insulating glass processing operations both for the cycle-time-optimised production of windows and doors as well as for the manufacture of heavy façade units. High-quality components allow maximum system availability and reduce operating and maintenance costs.
The AGP-A is perfectly suited for the production of double, triple and multiple insulating glass units. The new transport system supports all glass lites sheets of the unit, which makes the processing of thermoplastic spacers and heavy insulating glass units effortless. Optimising the step mechanism now allows a bottom edge step of up to 150 mm to be produced with the heaviest unit weights. The LiSEC AGP-A is perfectly suited for processing thermoplastic spacers because a belt drive is used on both the fixed press plate and the moveable press plate.
Minimise gas consumption thanks to moveable seal bar
The moveable seal bar adapts to the unit size. This means that a very high filling level can be achieved and hardly any gas is wasted, which in turn saves costs.
Flexible press plate surface
The flexible surface of the press plate compensates for any unevenness in the glass surface and therefore reduces the danger of glass breakage. It also ensures a very high level of accuracy.
Production of stepped units
The innovative fixture for the production of stepped units allows steps in the range of the lower edge from 0 - 150 mm. The height-adjustable moveable press plates, which adapt to the step height, support the insulating glass unit.
Innovative dual belt drive
The AGP-A impresses with its innovative belt drive solution.
Constant support of the units is guaranteed by two independent belt carriers with their own drives on both press plates.
