Method for handling spacer frames

A method for handling spacer frames for insulating glass, wherein a system with a single robot, with which system spacer frames are grasped and moved, is used, wherein the system is assigned in sequence to a station for producing spacer frames, a station for coating spacer frames with adhesive and sealant material, and a station for assembling insulating glass, the method comprising:

• grasping, by the single robot, the spacer frame in the station for producing spacer frames,
• while the single robot holds the spacer frame, coating the spacer frame with the adhesive and sealant material in the station for coating, and
• mounting, by the single robot, the spacer frame, that is coated with the adhesive and sealant material, on a glass panel in the station for assembly,
• wherein the single robot grasps the spacer frame using a gripper system, which gripper system is arranged on at least one robot arm of the single robot, and the single robot moves to plural stations of a single manufacturing line and/or to plural manufacturing lines.
