Sortjet for offline production

Look no further than the Sortjet for offline production as a solution for achieving a continuous flow of glass between the cutting station and subsequent stations, however difficult the prevailing conditions and however complex the production chains. The glass is always transported by harp rack when it needs to travel long distances or production is spread over several halls – or even different sites. The pieces of glass are either sorted into different harp racks either at random or in the correct sequence for production. Interlocking processes reduce handling by several orders of magnitude, while automation maintains the quality of the glass and significantly improves cycle times.

Features

• Automatically generated continuous flow of glass between the cutting station and subsequent production steps, e.g. when connecting to an ISO line
• Provision and fully automatic sorting of panes from the chaotic order output by the waste-optimised cutting station to the production sequence required for the subsequent production step
• Uncover additional, far-reaching scope for optimisation by decoupling individual processes
• Additional potential for optimising waste costs by means of prefabrication and intermediate buffering of panes for staggered production runs
• The comprehensive SortJet principle provides optimised and precisely coordinated processes
• Glass quality preserved by reducing human input
• Downtime due to incorrectly positioned or missing pieces of glass is eliminated
• Networked processes for high flexibility, reliable production and transparency
• Scope to integrate one or more cutting lines and one or more machining stations/lines
• Maximum customer benefit – can be adapted to suit the individual requirements and prevailing conditions, e.g. by combining a dynamic storage solution and/or sorting into harp racks
• Sorting into harp racks can follow the production order or be carried out in line with the cutting sequence
