Robotics in Alternative Energy
Among the myriad of tasks robots are called on to perform in the alternative energy market, assembling photovoltaic solar panels is one robotics are particularly suited for. “Manufacturers use robots to handle very delicate and thin silicon wafers. The thickness of those wafers continues to be thinner, so become even more delicate over time,” says Chris Blanchette, National Account Distribution Sales Manager with FANUC Robotics America Corp. (Rochester Hills, Michigan) “Robots are used for high-throughput assembly of stringers, a task requiring precision.” When assembling stringers onto panels, robots bond bus wires into electrical connectors.
Rush LaSelle, Vice President and General Manager of Adept Technology Inc. (Pleasanton, California) also says end-users of robotics in the solar industry use robots due to the panels’ delicate nature. “Robots are more consistent and gentle than people when handling wafers and solar cells so robots provide higher throughputs with better yield. Components of thin film solar panels are too big and awkward to be handled by people. In emerging technologies where processes might not be mature, the flexibility of robotics are attractive because they can be retooled or redeployed, whereas hard automation cells are frequently scrapped.
