Chroma ATE Introduces Solar Panel Manufacturing Solutions to North America

July 13, 2010 - PRLog -- Chroma ATE, a world leading own brand supplier of electronic test and measurement equipment and systems, announced today the globalization of their solar panel assembly line system.  

Chroma is launching phase-II of its solar manufacturing solutions in North American by introducing its automated & completely integrated solar panel assembly line for both thin film and c-Si cell technologies.   This robust solution evolved from the flat panel display industry where Chroma has been the dominate test and automated handling partner of choice.  

John R. Tessitore, Chroma’s Director of Business Development for North America, said, “Optimized automated manufacturing will be a key factor for growing North American panel manufacturers, especially when competing with the more established Asian producers.  Chroma has supported the success of several companies throughout Asia; we understand the process, the technology and make the right tools to help the North American manufacturers by optimizing a single process or offering a one stop shop for complete solar panel manufacturing.   With a track record of established performance we are excited to add these solutions to our North American product family.”  

Each panel assembly process may be easily integrated into an existing production line or configured as a complete turnkey automated production solution.  Chroma’s solution offers flexibility from semi to full automation, low breakage, high throughput, adaptability to diverse panels on the same line and full validation as it efficiently integrates the sub-assemblies into a highly reliable and most efficient panel.  To prove it, Chroma’s Manufacturing Execution System will track all materials and process and provide real time metrics from incoming goods to shipping pallets and beyond.
