SureLock®

About SureLock®

SureLock® is the latest addition to the Intercept™ spacers family of features. This new positive lock secures the ends of Intercept™ spacers, preventing spacers from becoming undone after assembly, increasing speed, quality, and improving the handling of finished Intercept™ spacers.

Key Advantages Include:

1. Positive Secure Lock: This feature allows for easier and quicker handling when folding spacers, enhancing operational speed and efficiency.
2. Extreme Rigidity: It enables manufacturers producing large IGUs to improve placement accuracy and handling.
3. Automation-Ready: SureLock® enables the automatic placement of Intercept™ spacers – more to come on this in the future!

Key Features of SureLock® include:

• A one-way locking tab assembly for faster and easier spacer insertion.
• Stiffer tab design for more rigid spacers, ideal for large IGUs.
• A natural “funnel” lead-in for gas filling, preventing lance catching or snagging.
• A nearly flat screw head when assembled, eliminating gaps or air bubbles in the sealant.
• Customizable software settings for minimum spacer size processing.

Intercept SureLock® is set to enhance GED’s Intercept™ “Warm-Edge” spacer systems, furthering the true and tested Intercept™ reputation for quality, capacity, and cost-effectiveness in the insulating glass manufacturing industry.

Technical Specifications

• Spacer Frame Width
  • The default software settings for a SureLock® Intercept™ machine enable SureLock® between 7/8” wide down to 9/32” (0.281”) wide.  The enabled size minimum is configurable in the software.  The table below illustrates the performance of SureLock® at various Spacer Frame widths which informs the default settings and recommendation to disable SureLock® for widths less than 9/32”.
