摘要： The present invention generally relates to an edge deletion module positioned within an automated solar cell fabrication line. The edge deletion module may include a grinding wheel device for removing material from edge regions of a solar cell device and cleaning the edge regions of the solar cell device after removing the material. The edge deletion module may also include an abrasive element, a portion of which is ground as it is periodically, laterally advanced toward the grinding wheel device. A controller is provided for controlling the operation and function of various facets of the module.

摘要： The present disclosure relates to methods for automated inspection of the orientation of a glass substrate (100) having a side that is coated and/or impregnated with a non-glass material (e.g., tin). One method (40) includes: picking up the glass substrate (100) by using an automatic lifting assembly (98); inspecting a side of the glass substrate (100) with a sensor (92) so as to determine whether the inspected side is coated or impregnated with the non-glass material; determining whether the glass substrate (100) is correctly oriented based upon the inspection results; and using the automated lifting assembly (98) to place the glass substrate (100) on a conveyor (94) in response to determining that the glass substrate (100) is correctly oriented.
