After its successful acquisition by Swiss-based Mikron Holding AG in March 2012, IMA Automation Berlin GmbH is now part of the Mikron Automation Division. Management and workforce have transferred to the new company, named Mikron Berlin GmbH. The company will continue to offer the entire portfolio of rotary indexing systems and linear transfer systems, as well as its customer-related services, for the production of solar systems. At SNEC 2012, Mikron Berlin presents its well known “Modustringer” series realizing single-track throughput of 1,200 cells per hour. Also featured is the new “modu*contec” system based on the user-friendly system concept of modular production tools. Mikron Berlin exhibits in Booth 265, Hall E3.
Advanced Manufacturing Automation Solutions Mikron Berlin is a word leading vendor specializing in user-specific solutions for PV manufacturing, aiming at stringent cost degression models and heightened reliability. For more than 20 years the company has successfully marketed assembly automation systems for the automotive and electronics industries. In the last six years, the company has gained a significant lead in advanced manufacturing know-how for highly automated contacting systems for c-Si and thinfilm solar modules.
Despite the currently difficult market environment for the German solar industry, the company had a successful 2011 generating sales of EURO 11million, and it has kicked off the current financial year with a good level of orders on hand.
Mikron Berlin offers rotary indexing systems, which are servo-, or electro-mechanically controlled for the fast and secure assembly of smallest parts – at up to 80 cycles/min and up to 24 work stations – as well as linear transfer systems for the chaining and interlinking of complex processes for test and assembly of medium and larger parts at up to 250 cycles/min and a nearly unlimited number of workstations.
