Bystronic Glass at Fensterbau
31st January 2012

Bystronic Glass will demonstrate future-oriented machines and solutions for fast window sash glazing, automated window and facade production using warm-edge insulating glasses, cost-optimised solar module production as well as efficient use of handling systems on Stand 7A-101 at Fensterbau/Frontale 2012 in Nuremberg.

With the Sash’line, Bystronic Glass claims to offer an opportunity to industrially manufacture PVC windows inexpensively. The production line for window glazing integrates the bonding of the glass plates into the window sash production process. As a result, up to 800 units per shift can be directly glazed without any preliminary processes and can be filled with inert glass. A separate insulating glass production is no longer needed, saving time and reduces costs.

On the Tps’line, thermoplastic spacers (TPS) are applied directly onto the glass by machine from a single drum as part of the insulating glass production. Alternatively, the customer may choose the Flexspacer’twinapplicator that is also integrated into the insulating glass line for seamless application of flexible spacers and insulating glass unit production. Irrespective of the spacer that is chosen – the high-speed sealing machine, the Speed’sealer, seals insulating glass units as well as window and facade elements at a maximum flow rate and with a fast application speed.

Bystronic Glass will also present for the very first time to the European Market, the Comfort’line – an entry-level solution for the industrial gas-filled production of both double or triple insulating glass units. Machine components as well as a new gas-filling press have been incorporated into the Comfort’line to create a complete, inexpensive and space-saving solution that can be further expanded where required.

In conjunction with the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE), Bystronic Glass has developed a technology that enables wafer-based solar modules to be produced significantly quicker and much more inexpensively. The solar cells are stringed together conventionally and are then fixed in between two glass lites. The use of films and associated lamination is completely eliminated.
