Development of CleanTech Production Equipment
Client: manufacturer of production equipment for photovoltaics
Rising energy prices and limited oil and gas output are speeding up efforts to tap into renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, geothermic, etc. Rising sales on this market are enabling companies to invest in the development of highly efficient products and high-performance production facilities. The most potential often lies in using new technologies and processes rather than optimizing existing ones.
Helbling Technik worked with a leading manufacturer of production equipment for photovoltaics to develop a new generation of wire saws for sawing silicon wafers. Depending on the task at hand, specialized teams were deployed with skills in mechanics, mechatronics, automation, and software applications for industrial controls and test systems.
