Automated Glass Load Station
An automated robot picks up PV module
glass from a horizontal or vertical type load
port located on a pallet or rack. As the robot is
unloading one rack of glass, another rack of
glass may be placed on the adjacent load port.
As soon as the rack being unloaded is emptied,
an operator replenishes the empty load port
with a full rack of glass. The robot removes
glass, one at a time, from the rack. After
each glass sheet is removed, it is placed on

Automated glass loading provides quick production start

the feed conveyor for glass washing.
The glass orientation configuration is entered
into the system prior to starting line production
and a line operator initiates system operation
with a PLC controlled operator interface.
