The Lisec TPA is a fully automatic system for applying thermoplastic spacers directly to the glass sheet. It allows the highest flexibility by seamlessly switching between different dimensions of the glass. The stepless width adjustment allows switching between different spacer widths without the requirement for a waiting time. The thermoplastic spacer system provides a warm edge in the insulating glass due to its high thermal insulation. Operation of the insulating glass line is greatly simplified by eliminating conventional frame production. The system only requires the thermoplastic material in the form of a drum.
