ABB IRB 340 Flex Picker robot into Europes largest, Sun Valley Germany, Sachsen Anhalts thalheim solar production base, Q-Cells and so help the industrys leading transportation companies increase the efficiency of the workpiece to take part in international market competition .
Sun Valley of a bright future
- Q-Cells Companys production of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cellshp compaq 6530b batteryautomation.
Q-Cells is currently the worlds largest independent manufacturer of solar cells. Set up in 1999 only four employees, through continuous development and expansion, now has reached the scale of 1,600 people. Professional manufacturers of photovoltaic components, development and production of high quality single and multi-crystalline solar cells.
In 2007, the companys further expansion of production capacity,the first five production lines and supporting facilities completed, the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology Minister Michael Glos has been invited to participatehp compaq 6535b batteryin the ceremony production. The new line of solar cell design capacity of 240 megawatts (peak), representing the old-line two-thirds of capacity.
Automated multi-link
First of all, the production line must be equipped with sufficient capacity. From the silicon solar cell materials to finished products, intermediate inputs are part of multi-channel bear robot tasks. Silicon wet equipment required to complete a number of Dow Chemical in a water bath to remove the surface of micro-injury. Silicon by the phosphorus-proliferation deal with the negative electrode layer formed on the surface membrane. However, the proliferation of silicon from the furnace will be at the fringe of residual phosphorus silicon glass layer must be removed, then it needs to be together with silicon wash water.
Since then, additional deposited layer of siliconhp compaq 6735b batterythin film, to enhance its light transmittance. Silicon, respectively, are also printed negative electrode, through the sintering furnace sintering. Upon completion, the efficiency of solar cells required to pass tests and indicators such as the appearance of electrical testing, the final classification, packaging.
Jonas & Redmann Photovoltaics Production Solutions, Inc. Q-Cells for the high standard of silicon technology to provide automated process. Crystal solar cells as a leader in processing technology,Jonas & Redmann, Berlin has long been the company Q-Cells is the most important automation partner for the five production lines which supply most automation equipment. After the two sides will also cooperate in the expansion project.
Flex Picker beat the requirements to meet the higher
Q-Cells the companys new production line of integrated high-speed 36 ABB robot IRB 340 Flex Picker, silicon to meet the delivery time to beat the stringent requirements.
IRB 340 Flex Picker is the industry recognized products in the fastest robot. Articulated arm robots with different, FlexPicker equipment of the three ultra-lightweight Kevlar arm, working in diameter up to 1130mm. The robot is also equipped with intelligent machine vision software can pick up the camera to identify the row to be moving the workpiece.
IRB 340 Flex Picker dedicated time on the beat high pick-and-place operations,able to distinguish between reliable and defect-free defectivehp elitebook 6930p batterywork, repeat accuracy up to 0.05mm.
In addition to excellent flexibility, the solution of this robot also has a high degree of reliability and versatility, and rugged abnormal. Flex Picker flying conveyors installed on the top, almost no space, easy integration into production lines. Article 5 production lines demanding to beat time, which is ABB Flex Picker to choose the main reason. Jonas & Redmann company in charge of after-sale customer support person said Mario Ptz.
Q-Cells in the companys new production line, ABB Flex Picker Robot chemical water up the discharge process the task. Silicon robot to quickly and accurately placed on the conveyor belt, silicon equipment through the wet, the robot and then remove the conveyor silicon into the carriage system.
Robot equipped with a dedicated feeder Bernoulli grasp. This feeder in order to grasp the principle of Bernoulli effect of the use of silicon to achieve high-speed airflow gently pick up the non-contact.
Flex Picker highly flexible robots, beat a very short time, the standard to meet customer requirements of automation solutions. Mario Ptz explained.
Bright prospects
Sun Valley of the solar cell industryhp compaq 6910p batterya bright future ahead. By 2010, the total number of employees will exceed 5,000. Market leader Q-Cells also will continue to be one step ahead: the companys first six production lines is currently in the planning stage.
IRB 340 Flex Picker advantage
Similar Products fastest per minute to be completed by more than 150 expected to pick up, beat the time only 0.4 seconds; acceleration up to 10g, can be called the worlds fastest robot.
The maximum payload of 2kg.
The use of ceiling suspension installation, saving valuable production space.
