COMPANY PROFILE
iccant filling remains limited. The system incorporates dynamic storage for spacer bar profiles and corner keys, simplifying order management and enabling uninterrupted frame production. Depending on the line layout, the system can be operated by a single operator. In a comparable manual production process, several operators would normally be required. With Frame: racer, the operator’ s main tasks are replenishing the profile and corner-key magazines and replacing the desiccant container when necessary. This allows skilled personnel to focus on activities where expertise and experience create the greatest value.“ With Frame: racer, we are taking the production of rigid spacer bar frames to a new level of automation,” says Matthias Bach, CEO of Swisspacer.
Swisspacer manufactures warm edge solutions for insulating glass: from spacer bars and Georgian bars to complementary technologies such as Swisspacer Air and services that support efficient production processes. Its products combine outstanding technical performance, design, and reliability, contributing to energy efficiency and living comfort. Sustainability is an integral part of Swisspacer’ s approach to innovation, as demonstrated by solutions such as Swisspacer Ultimate | Nyxé, which contains 33 % recycled material, and Environmental Product Declarations( EPDs) in accordance with EN 15804 + A2, covering the entire product life cycle. Founded in 1998, Swisspacer is part of the Saint-Gobain Group and is headquartered in Lengwil, Switzerland.
“ The solution produces frames in less than 20 seconds, operates autonomously for hours, and ensures consistently high quality.” Frame: racer has been designed for flexible integration into existing production lines. Thanks to its four-robot layout and the production of pre-filled spacer bar frames, the solution can be adapted to a wide range of manufacturing configurations

and customer-specific requirements. The name reflects the concept itself:“ Frame” stands for the fully assembled spacer bar frame, while“ Racer” emphasizes short cycle times and a streamlined, reliable, high-speed process. The focus is not automation for its own sake, but rather a combination of productivity, process stability, and quality. With Frame: racer, Swisspacer expands its automation service portfolio and strengthens its position as a process partner for the insulating glass industry. In addition, the company offers Re: cycling, a dedicated solution for resource efficiency and the structured recovery of production waste. Although the two services address different needs along the value chain, they share the same objective: making production more efficient, reliable, and future-ready.
