LiSEC Austria GmbH is a world leader in flat glass processing. LiSEC found the perfect solution for their highly skilled machines by utilizing Franke’s linear guides. During operation, the machine components are exposed to an abrasive mixture of cleaning water and glass dust. Thanks to the unique Franke linear guide design, incorporating sealed rollers, corrosion-resistant housings and components, these linear guides can withstand the toughest conditions.
LiSEC’s machines, software, and complete system solutions are used for the production of insulated glass and in the growing photovoltaic market. LiSEC has been using Franke linear solutions in their machines and Schraml machines since 2017. Schraml has been part of the LiSEC Group since 2016.
Moritz Geyrhofer is the Lead Buyer at LiSEC, when asked about his biggest challenge, “Clearly the availability of supplier products.” His experience with Franke‘s reliability has been excellent and a significant reason why LiSEC relies on Franke.
Franke linear guides carry out important functions
Corrosion-resistant FDC-35 Franke aluminium linear guides with stainless steel raceways are used in LiSEC machines. They “fulfil essential functions for our machines,” said Geyrhofer. They are used in edge processing and finishing, guide grinding or milling tools, and in numerous machine types to precisely position the processed glass sheets.
“At all costs we must avoid the production line coming to a standstill, because that would mean enormous losses in no time at all,” added Geyrhofer.
