The Schunk SZG solar cell gripper handles wafers and finished cells measuring 156 x 156 or 125 x 125 mm with incredible speed and precision. A transportation distance of 550 mm including inspection with a camera is acheieved in a cycle time of less than 1 second. The Schunk SZG defines a new performance class in solar cell manufacturing. New and exisiting facilities can be equipped with this sensitive high-speed gripper.

Gentle, fast and process reliable   Compared with conventional suction or edge grippers, the wafers are gripped much more gently with a SCHUNK gripper. Integrated air flow automatically removes possible dust particles from the wafer.   A vision system can easily be incorporated to reliably inspect the complete wafer edge, increasing process quality and reliability. In order to control the complete process reliably With a transmitted light source, the wafer surface can be also inspected for cracks.   SZG from SCHUNK is suitable for any robot or gantry system used in solar cell manufacturing.   Learn more about Schunk products or contact us for additional information.
