Introduction
The matrix system from Komax Solar consists of a series of integrated standard machines
that are easily adaptable to most processes specified by the customer. Our reliable techno-logy ensures
gentle handling of individual solar cells, strings and fully laid-out lateral or longi-tudinal solar
cell matrices (column or line arrangement). The system is built for fully automatic stringing, layup,
and busing and has a modular design to accommodate additional string testing units or manual testing
stations.
Bussing
Komax Solar offers a manual and an automatic bussing
system for its integrated matrix
machine. The manual version involves a station in which the solar matrix is inspected manually by an
operator. The automatic station is designed for the processing of up to 20MW per station (with a longitudinal
or lateral orientation).
The automatic station has two robots and produces the bus strips from a reel, trimming
and forming the material as required. The station is designed to process matrix tabs projecting above
and below the end of the solar cell matrix. An integrated optical monitoring system is used for inspecting
the tabs at the end of each string and for determining the correct position of the bus strip for soldering.
The bus strips are soldered on the spot in an induction soldering process that delivers repeatable results
of top quality.
Lamwiching
At the end of a 40 MW matrix assembly system, our
Lamwich cell goes into action,
handling the solar cell matrix prior to lamination. This cell fully automatically processes glass and
EVA, the cell matrix and the back-side foils (with optional hole punching), ensuring correctly assembled
solar modules.
