Abstract
An assembly method and a combined and bivalent workstation for automatically assembling photovoltaic panels, with printing of ECA on cell portions and progressive arrangement with a partial superimposition on the contacts, pre-forming shingled strings in a continuous cycle, which are ready for loading on a backsheet, without dry-curing. The method provides a macro-phase of lay-up entirely made in the station, with simultaneous and coordinated sub-phases: picking of portions with a first handler and control, oriented loading on a vacuum belt, control of positioning on the belt, printing of ECA, control of printing and positioning, progressive superimpositions on a shuttle-tray with bidirectional translation coordinated with a second handler with chocked vacuum, picking of the shingled string with a third handler, control of string alignment, loading and pre-fixing. Vision systems are integrated for the execution of said sub-phases.
