A production device () and a method for forming multilayered () modules, in particular solar modules (), which have at least one translucent sheet-like layer () and at least one solar- or light-active element is provided. The production device () forms the layer structure and has an applicator () for a connecting layer () for the aforementioned layers (). Furthermore, the device has a controllable curve(arch)-forming device () for bending and rolling a sheet-like layer () while the layers are being applied.

Manufacturing means and process

A friction welding machine () has two headstocks (), two spindles () with a spindle drive () and a workpiece holder (). The first headstock () is arranged stationarily at the frame (). The second headstock () is mounted axially movably at the frame () and is connected to a feed drive (). The spindles () have different sizes, the second spindle () and its spindle drive () being designed to be smaller and weaker.

Friction welding machine and operating method

The invention relates to a blowing device ( ) for a laser system ( ) used for separating or welding workpieces ( ). The blowing device ( ) has at least one nozzle assembly ( ), which generates a gas stream ( ) that is oriented at an angle to the laser beam ( ). The blowing device also has an air supply ( ) which, on one side of the nozzle, leads into the proximity of the nozzle opening ( ) and which is provided for an air supply stream ( ) that is fed to the gas stream ( ) in an essentially parallel manner or at an apex angle. A second air supply ( ) is arranged on the other side of the nozzle. Said second air supply leads into the proximity of the nozzle opening ( ) and is provided for a second air supply stream ( ) that is fed to the gas steam ( ) in an essentially parallel manner or at an apex angle. A protecting glass ( ), which is oriented toward the gas stream ( ) in an essentially parallel manner, can be alternatively or additionally placed in the proximity of the nozzle opening ( ). Said protecting glass is provided in the form of a pane and directly abuts against the nozzle opening ( ) in a sealed manner. In the preferred embodiment, the outer cross-section of the nozzle ( ) is provided in the shape of a drop or a vane, whereby at least the outer surfaces thereof extending toward the nozzle opening ( ) form air conducting surfaces ( ).
