Aerotech has a long, successful history of developing
innovative motion products specifically designed for the
semiconductor and photovoltaic manufacturing industries.
From printing and scribing to final inspection, our systems
are optimized to be the highest throughput, highest
accuracy, and lowest cost of ownership motion platforms
on the market. That tradition of innovation and performance
has been leveraged in the development of the SolarScribe
motion platform.
The SolarScribe automation series is the most
comprehensive photovoltaic panel scribing system available
today. It includes both mechanical and air-bearing versions
of split-axis and gantry-style systems for maximum
application flexibility.
Performance Optimized Design
All design elements of the SolarScribe have been optimized
to provide maximum throughput while maintaining tight
control of geometric characteristics like dynamic
straightness. In addition, because each customer and solar
technology application has its own set of requirements,
Aerotech has designed the SolarScribe system to include a multitude of options like multi-head scan axes, Z and theta
correction axes, and machine base/isolation systems. As
always, all configurations put Aerotech’s proven core
technologies and extensive manufacturing capability to
work for you, providing outstanding performance and
versatility.
Advanced Control Architecture
The SolarScribe is coupled to Aerotech’s advanced
Automation 3200 control system. The A3200 is a 100%
digital system with high performance FireWire® networked
drives. With this fully digital architecture, it is possible to
optimize the current, velocity, and position servo loops for
maximum performance. Advanced trajectory generation
capabilities, such as multi-block look ahead, minimize
dynamic errors while our Position Synchronized Laser
Firing Output (PSO) functionality automatically adjusts the
laser pulse frequency to match the current scribing speed,
providing an additional throughput boost.
Cable Management System
Extensive R&D has resulted in an optimized cable
management system (CMS) that has been field-proven to be
the industry’s most reliable design. Large bend radii and
high-flex cables ensure millions of cycles of maintenance-free
operation. In the unlikely event of a component failure,
robust diagnostics and a modular design minimize mean
time to repair (MTTR), ensuring very high machine
availability.
Custom Designs
Aerotech has engineered and manufactured custom high
performance systems to meet customers’ needs and
specifications for a variety of applications.
