The 27th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition, said PVSEC, is taking place from September 24th until 28th September 2012 at the exhibition centre in Frankfurt/Main, Germany. The event is deemed to be the worldwide most significant platform for exchange between science, industry and the global PV- and solar markets.
Arnold Gruppe in Weilburg/Germany belongs to the limited number of inter-nationally accepted companies, offering the process- and automation technology for the wide range of processing silicon-blocks from one source. Sustained reduction of costs even with permanent quality intensification can only be achieved by a high level of automation among the complete production. Guarantors of success like faultless quality, optimum and fail-proof processes are urgently requested for the wafer production.
On the occasion of the PVSEC, with their open designed booth (Hall 3.0 J23) Arnold Gruppe will present 3D-animations introducing considerable process- and automation concepts for processing mono- and multicrystal-line silicon blocks. The core competence of the well experienced experts is mainly based on the process technique of mechanical cutting, grinding and glueing in combination with the automation of complete production lines. Their spectrum ranges from individual machines via processing centres up to custom-made lines.
Automated Production
The fully-automatic cropping centre, type 72/454, for processing monocrystalline ingots was designed by Arnold Gruppe for the automatic cutting of end pieces (top and tail), test wafers (slugs) as well as for cropping of monocrystalline ingots into segments from 250 up to 1,000 mm.
Ingots up to a length of 3,000 mm are suitable to be accepted in the well accessible loading area. The approved product portfolio of this segment is completed by the cropping centre and available as from now.
