GT-Atlas Tabber/Stringer
World's Leading Cell String Assembly Machine
Tabber/Stringer Atlas
Tabber/Stringer GT-TSX100
String Layup Station
The Tabber/Stringer is the world's only machine that can process EFG and other sheet material cells in addition to saw-cut cells, with extremely high yield. Unique cellnests hold the cells until the string is completed without imposing mechanical stress that would break them. The machine can therefore handle extremely thin cells. The system uses a touchless infrared soldering station to accommodate varying cell thickness. On the cell-input side, a high-speed pick-and-place and visual inspection system aligns the cells according to settable parameters, and checks the cell edges as well as the busbars for damages. The tabber/stringer can be integrated with a completely automated lay-up station as an option.
Two models are available: The GT-TSX100™, and the GT-ATLAS™. The systems are basically identical with the only major difference that the ATLAS™ has a higher throughput due to two cell loading robots.
The tabber/stringers are also available in a version specifically configured for the BIPV industry to automatically lay up strings of up to 3 meter in length on glass sizes of up to 3.3 x 2.2 m2.
