Case: Solar Panel Handling
Large, flat and fragile: handling design decides yield.
Case outline
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Process | Picking, inverting and placing panels |
| Problem | Breakage and manual handling risk |
| Approach | Robot with multi-zone vacuum tooling and edge detection |
| Outcome | Fewer breakages and stable output |
Implementation notes
- Vacuum integrity monitoring is essential on every lift.
- Support and sag control matter more than grip force.
- Cleanliness affects yield; plan for surface protection.
Fragile panel handling must be validated with real product and the intended tooling.
