Contactless transfer of solar cells in production

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 03:20:12 +0000

The production of solar cells involves highly sensitive workpieces, since classical solar cells are just a few millimetres thick. NCT transport units can lift and move these highly sensitive workpieces gently. Even difficult-to-handle materials with sensitive, highly porous or finished surfaces can be moved. Objects are handled using a vacuum - resulting in a non-contact process.

Correct valve selection

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 00:31:12 +0000

Microfluidics is associated with the control of very small volumes of fluids. Throughout life science industries the precise control of fluids is a major factor in the successful design of devices and instruments often used in testing and analysis processes. Accurate and repeatable results and reliable performance can often only be obtained through the correct selection and application of specialised valve technology.

Air auditing tool

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 03:20:28 +0000

AirMetrix System Assessment is a measurement and analysis tool which is used to assess compressed-air system performance. It can help industry identify areas of waste in compressed-air systems and facilitates the implementation of targeted improvement measures. The tool can thus assist the user to reduce operating costs associated with compressed-air processes and enhance environmental performance as a result.

Planetary gearboxes

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 03:20:30 +0000

A planetary gearbox is an in-line gear reducer designed for direct mounting to a servomotor. The motor power is transmitted to the sun gear which in turn drives the planet gears contained within an internal tooth ring gear. The planet carrier supports the planet gear and delivers output rotation.
