How glazing bead saws for sash elements can cut twice as much as before without losing time!<\/h2>\n\n

Of course, it may happen from time to time that faults may creep into production, says Lars.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

As a window producer in the second generation he knows the ropes. Without having to think twice, he could tell us a couple of error sources that happen quite often.<\/p>\n\n

\n

Of course,\u00a0it\u2019s good when machines perform some sort of activities to reduce error sources<\/strong>, he says.<\/p> \n<\/div><\/p>\n\n

\n

We agree with Lars. However, there is one processing step where always something can go wrong – sawing of glazing beads, or to be more precise, during the sorting process of glazing beads. So far it was only possible to\u00a0cut only two glazing beads at the same time<\/strong>. But why and how can this cause any faults? Well, first of all because the glazing bead saw is provided with two tracks. However, every window manufacturer has to cut four sash elements. Consequently: Two sawing processes for four glazing beads.<\/p> \n

\u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/p>\n\n

Lateron the operator should not get confused. But every now and then the same question arises: \u201eWhich of the two pairs of glazing beads do fit together?\u201c That\u2018s where mistakes are inevitable.<\/p>\n\n

\n
\n

Up to now, the following was true: Glazing bead saws are only available for two glazing beads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s the reason why we left this principle behind.<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it goes like that: The glazing beads are still clamped directly at the cutting spot to ensure exact cutting of the glazing bead gasket. As four glazing beads are required per window element, the following applies from now on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The four glazing beads are sawn in one single cut with our new four track glazing bead saw.<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Positive consequences for the operator:<\/p>\n\n

1. One working step less2. No mistakes anymore during sorting: On sorting in a\u00a0compartment trolley for glass<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, the operator holds all four glazing beads in his hand. No mess-up anymore!<\/p><\/p>\n\n

\n

-> No more mixing-up of sheds. Thus the mix and match error source is eliminated!<\/strong><\/p> \n<\/div><\/p>\n\n

By simultaneous cutting of four glazing bead rods it is ensured that:<\/p>\n\n

\u25cf the right glazing beads remain together \u2705\u25cf no mess up \u2705<\/p><\/p>\n\n

But not only that! Compared with the previous two track glazing bead saw the \u201efour wins\u201c saw is\u25cf faster \u2705\u25cf more flexible \u2705<\/p><\/p>\n\n

Dimensions for the four track glazing bead saw are pre-determined by the fitting electronic length stop. Positioning is done step by step according to dimensions. Finally the glazing beads are clamped by the operator.<\/p>\n\n

All in all, this sounds pretty good.But wouldn\u2019t it be really nice if the machine could also handle\u00a0different glass thicknesses<\/em><\/strong>? Good comment – but that\u2019s possible!<\/p><\/p>\n\n

In terms of\u00a0different glazing bead thicknesses<\/em><\/strong>, our glazing bead saw is a professional.<\/p><\/p>\n\n

Glazing beads can be cut without any problems to comply exactly with the corresponding glass thickness. How does it work? How are the different angles set?<\/p><\/p>\n\n

First of all:<\/p>

Motorized adjustment is done through a suitable electronic length stop.<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n\n
