Vacuum Handling for the Solar Industry
Solar Industry and Vacuum Technology Automation
The solar industry focuses on converting sunlight into heat or electricity, with photovoltaic systems typically installed on roofs, facades, or in open spaces.
During module production, delicate components like wafers, cells, strings, and finished modules must be handled with extreme care to avoid marks or contamination. At the same time, the industry demands high speed and precision—cell manufacturing cycle times often fall below one second.
Industrial Vacuum Technology for Solar Panel Testing
Panels and collectors play a key role in the energy transition. As the number of manufacturers and distributors grows, ensuring product stability and quality becomes increasingly important. Various standards exist for the mechanical load capacity of photovoltaic and solar thermal systems. To address this, euroTECH Handling GmbH in Rosenfeld developed a specialized test bench that enables testing well beyond current standards.
Vacuum Suction Cups for Solar Industry Applications
In solar industry, vacuum suction cups are vital in the solar industry for handling delicate components such as glass panels, wafers, and finished modules. They enable precise, damage-free movement throughout the production and assembly process—boosting efficiency while protecting sensitive surfaces from scratches, cracks, or contamination.
