Robots for crystalline production

Stäubli has designed a full range of specialized robotics solutions for solar and photovoltaic production. 4- and 6-axis robotic arms combine reliability, precision and dexterity to reduce manufacturing costs while increasing productivity and quality. From the ultra-precise 4-axis FAST picker TP80, SCARA to the 6-axis, the specialized robots can handle all crystalline production processes (c-Si). In addition they can handle a range of solar applications including the production of ingots, bricks, solar cells and modules.
