Interview
Framework data acquisition by scanning the data matrix code
filled frame, a data matrix code is
printed on the inside of the frame
profile during the spacer production.
A scanner integrated into the
ARL-45F evaluates the data matrix
code and the correct desiccant filling
quantity can be calculated using
the available frame data such as
dimensions, spacer width and profile
material. If the amount filled is below
the calculated value, the machine
immediately reports a filling error and
prompts the operator to turn and refill
the current frame. This guarantees
that no unit with insufficient desiccant
finds its way into a window. In order
to be able to prove this, all measured
filling quantities are documented in
the “Quality Pass” and stored in a file
for evaluation by other systems.
Standard functions
;;
Automatic drilling of the spacer
frame on the rear side of the
short and long frame leg
;;
Adjustment of the optimum
working height by means of a
pneumatic lifting device
;;
Automatic pumping of the
granulate from a 200 l drum to
the filling devices
;;
Simultaneous filling of two
sides of the spacer frame with
granulate
;;
Sealing the drilled hole with
butyl
Optional functions
;;
Measurement and
documentation of the desiccant
filling quantity
;;
Equipment for processing heatflexible
spacers (Swisspacer,
Multitech, Thermobar, TGI
Precision)
;;
Processing of frames with a max.
size of 3,500 x 1,200 mm
Highlights
;;
Automatic drilling of the spacer
frame on the rear side of the
profile
;;
Measurement of the desiccant
filling quantity: A device is
installed in the two desiccant
tanks, which measures the exact
amount of desiccant filled per
frame leg
;;
Intelligent networking with
the production software: The
required quantity of desiccant
is calculated in advance and
compared with the measured
quantity through a connection to
the IG LineManagement. This
results in direct error detection
during the filling process,
meaning that timely intervention
is possible. Documenting the
process values facilitates the
verification of faultless frame
production to the end customer.
