Automated Handling of PV Wafers with the SWG Wafer gripperVideo 074
The Schmalz wafer gripper SWG is used for separation of wafers from the stack, positioning during measurement as well as sorting into up to 72 classes, depending on measurement results. The wafer gripper combines the connection of highest precision, minimal damage, freedom of contamination, little air consumption and slip-free movements of the wafers up to 10 g. In permanent operation of the inspection systems at renowned cell producers in Europe and Asia it was shown that due to the usage of the Schmalz wafer gripper SWG increasing put through and decreasing the breakage rates with highest reliability can be achieved.
