DSC-A-VB
Glass cutting system for laminated and float glass
The DSC-A-VB system from LiSEC is characterized by its compact, precise and high-quality processing of float and laminated glass. The compact design and the arrangement of the two machine sections save space. With the DSC-A from LiSEC, both float and laminated glass are quickly decoated using the latest technology and to the highest quality. In a further processing step, float glass is cut using proven LiSEC direct cutting technology. The direct application of the cutting force and the precise and fast guidance of the cutting tool over the glass create an ideal scoring fissure on the glass, ensuring reliable break-up with the best edge quality.
The DSC-A from LiSEC is used for the automatic cutting of laminated glass up to the maximum size, with automatic positioning. The storage plate is automatically and precisely positioned in the laminated glass cutting machine of type VB, sheet for sheet. Cutting is fast, the optional heating of the PVB film is carried out efficiently using the patented SIR heating technology, and the reliable cutting is done using the proven circular blade method.
A positioning aid for cutting special shapes with straight cuts is included, and the automatic scoring of special shapes with rounded arches is optionally possible.

DSC-VSL-A
Combined system for cutting float and laminated glass
The basis for the successful processing of laminated glass is provided by the horizontal cutting system VSL-A from LiSEC. Since its market launch, the LiSEC VSL-A has been met with enthusiasm worldwide. Thanks to the patented SIR film heating system, output has been significantly increased. In addition, glass waste has been significantly reduced and fewer operator interventions are required due to the higher degree of automation.
In order to provide solutions that best meet individual requirements, LiSEC has developed a modular laminated glass cutting system solution that can be adapted step by step to the respective requirements and expanded with an additional VSL-A bridge.
The plant has different operating modes that can be selected at any time: output or comfort mode. In comfort mode, the plant produces cut glass almost without human intervention. In output mode, additional production capacities can be made available. Here, the operator supports the plant in separating residual cuts, which enables even higher output, which is particularly advantageous during production peaks.

VSL-A
Double bridge system for the automatic cutting of laminated glass
The basis is an automatic glass storage system in combination with a system for edge deletion and the removal of the laminated glass film overhang and a laminated glass cutting bridge of the type VSL-A with transport belt. Depending on the production volume and the variety of products, you can choose between two system solutions.
Example: Customer “Type A” has a high variance in its product mix (many X-, Y-, Z-cuts). Here, an additional VSL-A system after the first laminated glass cutting bridge can already achieve an output of up to 75 sheets per hour and produce fully automatically.
Thanks to the intelligent “Dynamic Load Balancing” (DLB), an optimal and dynamic utilization of the two VSL-A cutting bridges is guaranteed. In addition, the system solution has various operating modes, which can be selected at any time: Output or comfort mode. When the comfort mode is selected, the system produces almost unmanned, continuously cut glass. In output mode, additional production capacity can be made available. Here the operator supports the system, in particular, when cutting residual sections on the second cutting bridge, which enables a higher output and is par ticularly advantageous during production peaks.
Example: Customer “Type B” produces a large number of identical products and is involved in series production (many X and Y cuts with identical dimensions). With a VSL-A system in tandem design (cutting of two sheets at the same time), it is possible to process up to 140 sheets per hour. In tandem mode, two sheets can be cut simultaneously and fully automatically on the second VSL-A. This system solution enables the highest output figures and is the fastest laminated safety glass cutting system on the market.
Highlights
Dynamic Load Balancing (DLB) enables both bridges to be utilised to an optimum level
Up to about 75 cut sheets of glass per hour (X, Y and Z cuts) with the VSL-A double bridge
Up to about 140 cut sheets of glass per hour (X, Y and Z cuts) with the VSL-A double bridge with tandem function

EDGE QUALITY
LiSEC glass cutting systems ensure continuously high edge quality and strength. Precise cutting without noticeable surface damage reduces splintering and prevents top and bottom breaks. This provides the basis for cost-efficient edge processing.
Float Glass Breakout Systems
Machines for Automatic Cutting and Breaking of Float Glass
The automatic float glass breakout systems consist of an glass storage unit combined with a downstream float glass cutting table for Low-E edge deletion and for scoring the float glass sheets. Depending on the volume of production and the variety of products, it is possible to choose between three different variants:
Example: Customer “Type A” would like to break X sub-plates and X edge sections automatically. With an automatic ARS edge deletion station and a TBX breakout station the operator can be optimally supported.
Example: Customer “Type B” would like to break X and Y sub-plates as well as X and Y edge sections automatically. With an ARS edge deletion station, a TBX breakout station, a TDV rotary table and another TBR/TCY breakout station, it is only necessary to break Z sections manually.
Example: Customer “Type C” would like to break X, Y and Z sub-plates as well as X, Y and Z edge sections automatically. With an ARS edge deletion station, a TBX breakout station, a TDV rotary table, a TBR/TCY breakout station and an SDV sheet turning unit, virtually unmanned and continuous production of float glass is possible.
With a well thought out system arrangement, the number of crates of broken glass pieces is reduced and this has a positive impact on system availability.
The optional automatic sheet disposal system maximises system availability.

System for the automatic cutting of float glass and simple surface coatings
The compact baseCUT_TILT glass cutting machine is ideally suited for cutting straight lines and shapes out of flat glass. Its design ensures maximum precision and minimum cutting tolerances, as well as a long service life of the machine. In the machine‘s basic model, loading is carried out manually through ‚free fall‘. After loading, the glass can be manually positioned against the reference marks. When the operator initiates cutting, the machine automatically detects the glass sheet‘s position in X and Y direction. The stock plate is positioned manually. This assures precise cutting of sheets of glass.

DSC-A
High-performance system for the automatic cutting of float glass
The new DSC-A is a horizontal cutting machine for the automatic cutting of float glass. The machine combines massive processing flexibility with optimum precision, a reliable process and optimum quality of glass cutting as well as the option of Low-E edge deletion.
Float glass cutting
The glass-cutting table features LiSEC direct cutting technology and a gantry drive on the X-axis, assuring high precision of +/0.20 mm. Operation is simplified by automatic control of the cutting and grinding pressure. Operator interventions are reduced because, depending on the coating and glass thickness, different cutting and grinding pressures can be set automatically. The cutting oil and cutting wheel monitors analyse the consumption, display this preventively and draw attention to the pending need for a change of cutting wheel. Stock plates are sent in automatically on the belt transport system and fully automated alignment is carried out by glass positioning aids.
Low-E edge deletion
The complexity of coating systems is rising in response to the increasing proportions of solar protection and thermal protection coatings in the insulating glass sector. The DSC-A constitutes an optimum basis for the rapid and efficient Low-E edge deletion of single to triple layers of silver thermal protection or solar protection coatings as well as coating systems that use protective films (TPF or EASYPRO® ). With its recently developed design of grinding head and bridge structure, the DSC-A is equipped to meet future challenges.
Machine construction
The basic variant consists of a horizontal cutting table, equipped with conveyor belt, to combine this system with automatic loading systems.
The DSC-A T-variant has a tilt function, which facilitates manual loading and unloading of glass sheets. In addition, conveyor belts or breaker bars can be added for stand-alone operation.
Highlights

Perfect edge quality irrespective of glass thickness
The use of this directly driven cutting technology in combination with the highly stable and precise cutting bridge means that the glass cutting quality is always perfect, even with thick float glass.
Top quality with Low-E edge deletion regardless of coating
With the aid of decades of experience in the area of edge deletion, the system can be used to process single to triple silver as well as coatings with special protection (EASYPRO® or TPF) to an optimum standard and without any residue.
Technical data
Simple and user-friendly
The system has been developed to ensure that the operator is always optimally supported by the machine, and such that system operation is largely possible without glass-specific know-how. This increases the efficiency of the system and ensures consistent glass cutting quality.

ESL-RS
High-performance system for the automatic cutting of float glass and simple surface coatings
Fully automatic cutting table for float and special glass using LiSEC direct cutting technology.
The system is equipped with an additional grinding unit which allows soft coatings to be removed. Straight edges can thereby be simultaneously cut and ground in a single work step, which guarantees low cycle times while offering maximum quality. Shorter cycle times with maximum quality are thus guaranteed. Standard and digitalized special forms can be cut with ease.
The CNC program adjusts the maximum axis speed and acceleration to the shape being cut. Cutting path optimisation provides the optional possibility of minimising axial movement and ensuring the shortest cutting and grinding times. The modular machine concept of LISEC offers almost unlimited possibilities for any future extension to suit requirements: integration into a sorting system, combination with a laminated glass cutting table or as a direct link to an automated glass loading system.

VSL-A
System for the semi-automatic cutting of laminated glass
The basis for the processing of laminated glass is provided by the horizontal laminated glass cutting line of type VB in combination with a float cutting table (GFB/ESL) or an end-stop bridge (AL-A) from LiSEC.
One important difference between this and the VSL-A system is the vacuum suction cups that act from below and are used during the entire cutting process (scoring, breaking and film separation process). The suction cups are movable so as not to put any additional tension into the glass. Furthermore, the raw glass plate is positioned on the cutting table by means of a suction bridge and cut in the VB. The remaining Y and Z cuts are made after the glass has been manually rotated and tapped.
A significant increase in output can be achieved thanks to the optional patented SIR foil heating system. The system includes a laser positioning aid for special shape cutting as standard.

GSA-CF/ GSA-CL
Automatic sheet disposal
The automatic glass residue disposal for float glass as well as for laminated glass reduces downtimes as the manual emptying of glass cullet containers and crates in integrated production lines is no longer necessary. LiSEC‘s cullet disposal systems are available for float glass (type GSA-CF) and for laminated glass (type GSA-CL).
Both systems are equipped with a modular steel conveyor belt that was specially developed for the high demands and low wear in the flat glass industry. The system for the disposal of float glass scraps uses a slowly rotating star roll to crush glass scraps safely, efficiently, quietly, and with little dust. The system for laminated glass disposal uses a special high-strength guillotine with low-wear blades to crush laminated glass residues safely, efficiently, quietly, and with little dust.
Each station in an automated cutting line where glass residues are produced can be equipped with one of these systems. All glass residues and waste can be transported to a central location via interconnected conveyor belts. The advantages are as follows:
Highlights
Higher degree of automation of the system
Compact design
Increase in the quantity and quality of glass waste per container
Automatic fill level monitoring

Overview of the Running Production
The sales department benefits from the capacity planning due to real-time information about achievable delivery dates. This is possible thanks to a comprehensive overview of the production process, even in areas where numerous production stages and material routes would make it complicated. Orders are planned with precision regarding schedule and machine-specific requirements.
Machine Load and Bottleneck Warning
prod reports the production progress to the plant management and the sales department in real time. The information tool provides an up-to-date status of the machine utilisation and individual orders. An invaluable advantage for a precisely planned utilisation of the production capacity or short-notice re-scheduling.
Packing Optimisation
prod makes it possible to produce glass sheets in optimised packaging sequence and directly onto the delivery racks. This makes time-consuming searching, commissioning and re-packing redundant. The results are reduced order cycle times, reduced costs in the shipping department and fewer glass damages during transport.

Key figures such as overall equipment effectiveness (or OEE) are automatically calculated for both machines and lines and on the basis of the shift schedule.
Highlights
Greater transparency in production
Identification of improvement potentials
Analysis of downtimes
Breakdown according to products and shapes
Functions
Custom dashboard for the transparent presentation of production figures in real time
OEE dashboard

Visualisation of output key figures per machine
Based on the configurable shift plan, the respective output can be compared over several days and even on an hourly basis in order to derive appropriate measures.
Calculation of OEE for machines and lines
By combining several machines into lines, the OEE figure can be calculated not only for individual machines but also for entire lines.
Analysis of the causes of problems (alarms,
product mix, availability, ...)
If the output does not meet expectations, the causes can be found by analysing alarms that have occurred, the product mix or the reasons behind individual stoppages in more detail.
Solution for Automatic Sorting Systems autofab
autofab is the heart of the automatic sorting and/or buffering solution. This solution allows online control of a completely automated glass production process. The system automatically connects to all machines, controls, regulates and supervises the production processes, and reports the current status of e.g. the sorting systems, etc. With the system it is even possible to separate cutting from production sequence. This way, glass waste is minimised and is guaranteed an optimum production sequence on an insulating glass line, a furnace, etc.

Toughening Bed Load
Sheets are automatically optimised into a toughening bed, taking the furnace criteria into consideration. The furnace is automatically supplied with the sheets and the recipe data. After the tempering process the scanner and ripple data are automatically evaluated. Depending on the next processing step (delivery/IG), the individual sheets are automatically transported from the toughening bed to the correct position. Diverse tempering furnaces and scanning systems can be integrated.
Loading Display
The loading display supports the operator loads the sheets onto the transport into the sorting system. The loading display shows all relevant information to load the sheets in the sorting system specified sequence, with the correct base edge and glass side.
Traceability over the Whole Production Sequence
The fully automated glass production records every glass sheet. Each production step can be retraced.
Optimum Space Utilisation
The function „Chaotic Sorting“ allows an optimum use of the harp cars. With fully automatic control the production becomes more efficient and economical.
