Commercial Display Systems (CDS) was founded in 2002 in Los Angeles, California. Today, CDS stands as independent refrigeration door company, experiencing strong growth year after year. When looking to increase productivity CDS came across LiSEC, which had the right solution for their special use case – an insulating glass line.
In 2016, CDS and Lisec began their cooperation: At the GlassBuild America show CDS was impressed by LiSEC’s insulating glass line and its accompanying software. After visiting a glass processing facility in Northern California, CDS was convinced that LiSEC was the equipment of choice.
For the frame processing of the refrigerator doors and windows, CDS uses a LiSEC A1RL-F desiccant filler and a LBH-25V semi-automatic coating extruder for butyl. The LiSEC BSV-45NK is an automatic spacer bending machine, which helped CDS to more efficiency. The bending head is designed with a maximum expansion stage, allowing for the processing of various materials. In addition to aluminium, it can also handle stainless steel and plastic materials, which are cold bent. The machine is equipped with a profile magazine that has 4 slots and clamping mechanisms. These mechanisms relieve the lowest profile bars, ensuring frictionless removal.
The IG line is equipped with a VHW-D20/V6 automatic washing and drying system, which guarantees that each glass pane is cleaned and ready for the next stage of processing. The SAF-1000 filter system significantly reduces water consumption and efficiently supplies the VHW-D20/V6 with recycled pure water. For the purposes of frame mounting and inspection, an RSV N-25/20S is utilised. The FPS-25/20U2B gas filling press with lifting spindle drive and fixed seal bar is employed for the assembly and gas filling of the units. Subsequently, the units are conveyed to the LiSEC VL-1N sealing system, which guarantees a perfect seal.
The line also has LiSEC software integrated to guarantee the highest quality of the processed units. GPS.perfectscan enables the inspection of each individual glass sheet for visual defects.
LiSEC machinery has led to a notable increase in productivity at CDS. Prior to the introduction of the LiSEC insulating glass line, each piece was washed and sealed by hand. The production time for what previously took a week has now been reduced to just three days. The quality of the glass units produced has also improved, providing CDS with a competitive advantage in the market.
