Robots Target Solar Industry

Nov. 1, 2008
The Solaris solar product line of high-speed robots integrate solar wafer cell handling and inspection capabilities within a common application platform, a combination intended to ease application development and speed deployment. 
According to the vendor, the robots’ high speeds, coupled with integrated vision sensing and inspection technology, can deliver increased yields, higher plant throughput, better measurability in performance, quicker integration and minimal cell breakage, while reducing the cost per watt in solar energy equipment manufacturing. The Solaris line includes the Quattro s650 robot, the compact Cobra s600 SCARA robot, and PC-based software.Adept Technology Inc.www.adept.com925.245.3400
