The manufacturing process from single wafers to complete solar modules makes a wide variety of demands for the automation using vacuum-components.

One specific challenge is the handling of extremely thin workpieces in combination with shortest station times.

Thanks to the wide product range of a full-range supplier, the vacuum-specialist Schmalz provides you with the best solution. Just perfect for the demands of the solar industry are the following products:

• Light-weight compact ejectors SCP and SMP - for shortest manufacturing circles
• Bellow suction pads made of natural rubber and HT1 - for a very gentle handling of workpieces with marginal markings
• Flexible Spring plungers - for the compensation of level differences and soft reception of the silicium pads
