New three-dimensional inspection technology uncovers heretofore invisible defects

20.09.2011 + + + Up until

stage. In addition to the existing first-class inspection and measuring functions of the SOLARSCAN-FrontPrint and SOLARSCAN-RearPrint systems, the new 3D option allows the reliable detection of splinters and other height relevant structural
defects. Cell manufacturers benefit directly from implementation of the new inspection technology through significantly higher machine uptimes and reduced cell
breakage. In total, this enables an increase of high-quality yield and the reduction of manufacturing
