Insulating Glass Line for Processing Thin Glass
Line for processing thin glass from 1 mm as an intermediate pane
The LiSEC thin glass insulating glass line enables the fully automated processing of thin glass as an intermediate pane in triple insulating glass units. Specially adapted process steps ensure safe handling, precise positioning, and consistently high product quality. The solution is particularly suitable for energy-efficient insulating glass units with reduced weight.
How is the LiSEC thin glass line configured?
The solution is based on an adapted LiSEC insulating glass line. It includes a washing machine with a gentle washing and drying process, manual or automated spacer application, and a gas filling press for the production of insulating glass with a four-sided step. The fully automatic sealing system is equipped with a special scanning system and application nozzle to seal the triple insulating glass unit in a single pass.
All process steps are software-configured to meet the specific requirements of thin glass.
How does the LiSEC thin glass insulating glass line work?
The line processes thin glass from 1 mm thickness as the intermediate pane in triple insulating glass units. Specially adapted transport, positioning, and assembly systems enable gentle handling of the thin panes. During the assembly process, the intermediate pane is positioned with high precision and completely embedded in the edge seal. This minimises mechanical stress and ensures consistently high product quality.
Who is the thin glass line suitable for?
The line is particularly suitable for insulating glass manufacturers aiming to produce triple insulating glass units with reduced weight and high energy efficiency. Typical applications include the replacement of existing window glazing with limited installation depth, as well as renovation projects with demanding sustainability and resource-efficiency requirements.
What advantages does the insulating glass production line offer?
The LiSEC thin glass insulating glass line enables the economical and reliable production of triple insulating glass units with thin glass intermediate panes. Thanks to transport, washing, positioning, and assembly processes specially adapted for glass from 1 mm thickness, these sensitive panes can be processed fully automatically. This ensures high product quality combined with excellent process stability.
Its robust design enables highly flexible production of a wide variety of glass configurations and supports precise manufacturing even for demanding applications.
Which functions are included as standard?
- Frame setting station with electrically adjustable frame positioning stops for the precise positioning of the spacer on the thin glass

The Highlights
Insulating Glass Production: Fully Automated Manufacture of Thin Glass Units with Maximum Quality
Specially adapted process steps ensure safe handling, precise positioning, and consistently high product quality. The modified washing machine provides a gentle washing and drying process, followed by manual or automated spacer application. All subsequent process steps, as well as the associated software, are tailored to the requirements of thin glass.
Optimised Handling of Thin Glass
The LiSEC production line is specifically designed for processing sensitive thin glass. All components and actuators in direct contact with the glass have been adapted accordingly and equipped with force-sensitive sensors. In addition, extra support rollers can be integrated in the frame setting station area to reduce stresses occurring during the setting process and ensure gentle processing.
Flexible Adaptation to Insulating Glass Types
The LiSEC insulating glass line not only enables the production of thin glass insulating glass units but also the manufacture of conventional insulating glass elements. Thanks to its flexible configuration, the system can be adapted to a wide variety of applications and future market requirements. This provides glass processors with maximum future-proofing, ensures long-term economic operation, and sustainably protects their investment.
