GTS-18 model reaches a production of 2000 cycles/hour (1800 cells/hour) and works with mono and policrystalline cells of 5”, 6” and half of 6”; 2 and 3 busbar and the distance between cells is configurable between 2 and 50 mm. It has a robot and an artificial vision camera integrated that tests the breakages and busbars positioning, as well as a precise positioning of the cells by contour or busbars. In order to make the soldering, once the flux is applied on the cell using drop system, there is a progressive heating of the cells and next the machine makes the soldering by IR lamps with a precise control of the process by temperature (PID). The cycle is configurable. After this soldering process, there is a controlled cooling to minimize to its utmost the stress generated in the cells. This model has flip-over option for the produced strings, for their following positioning on the glass.
