IG-Sort Cure

With the IG-Sort Cure, up to two robot systems perform the unloading of insulating glass units at the sealing outlet, as well as the loading of glass storage racks positioned on a rotating station that can be loaded on both sides. These robot systems and a bidirectional insulating glass buffer enable the decoupling of customer-specific batches by performing tempering, sorting and destacking in the required sequence.

What makes it unique:

The IG-Sort Cure can deliver a crucial function: The secondary sealing material of the still wet unit dries in the bidirectional buffer or tempering of the thermoplastic spacers takes place, which means that these units can be placed on the shipping racks without any loss of quality. This in turn enables highly efficient planning of insulating glass production, because the decoupling of customer-specific batches is supported.

What advantages does the system offer?

• Automatic handling at the end of the insulating glass line
• Tempering, sorting and stacking in the required sequence
• Greater productivity due to the decoupling of customer-related batches
• Can be individually extended either with two opposing insulating glass buffers or two buffers arranged one behind the other
• Automatic ejection of waste insulating glass units and autonomous handling of remakes
• Reduced physical effort required of employees because no subsequent completion of glass storage racks is required in the dispatch department
• Cycle time-neutral and automatic intermediate buffering of remakes downstream of the insulating glass line, so that only glass storage racks ready for dispatch leave the insulating glass line and no search times arise in the dispatch department.
