  problem

At present, the "fixed method" commonly used to superimpose small solar cells in turn is easily affected by the total number of cells, the qualification rate of a single cell, and the accuracy of transportation and positioning, resulting in a decrease in the qualification rate of cells!

solution

1. Sharding control

(1) Cobra450 cooperates with the vision system to grab and transport 5 small cells on the splinter platform to the infeed conveyor belt.

(2) The chamfer and the right-angle piece are separated by the material distribution servo, and the right-angle piece enters the A-side conveyor belt and the intermediate conveyor belt, and the chamfer enters the B-side conveyor belt.

(3) The chamfer is rotated so that the direction of the chamfer is consistent.

(4) The A-side, B-side, middle, and tail conveyor belts are visually installed for material position detection and OK/NG detection.

  2. Tail piece control

Due to the different specifications of A and B surfaces, the three robots need to take different specifications for the tail piece, and the tail piece should be increased when the number of tail pieces is insufficient.
【Omron Industry Case】Application case of robot in cell stack welding
  Quickly handle the arrangement of tail pieces by using arrays. It includes unique program modules such as array generation, A-plane type search, B-plane type search, and tail number search.

3. Lead control

The first and last pieces of the battery string need to increase the leads, and the X and Y lead mechanisms need to be added to cooperate with the lead servo to convey the lead to a fixed length and weld it through the lampshade.
【Omron Industry Case】Application case of robot in cell stack welding
  The position array mode is used for data recording, and when the first piece or the last piece is laminated, the current position P1 of the conveyor belt is recorded to form a position array. According to the set of sheet width, overlap amount, number of laminations, space distance and other parameters, the position of the conveyor belt welded by the lower lead and lampshade is judged in real time, and the position of the lead X-axis and the lampshade X-axis can be moved by 6 pieces, and the lower lead and welding action can be carried out after being in place.

4. Lamination control

Visually collects the position data, and then obtains the position of the robot's air gripper stacking through the lamination algorithm. The EIP communication of the robot is in Byte format, and the conversion program module is used to quickly communicate with the robot, and finally the robot performs the lamination action.
【Omron Industry Case】Application case of robot in cell stack welding
  System configuration

The ultra-high-speed vision system FH series collects the position data, and then obtains the position of the robot's air gripper stacking through the NX1 series mechanical automation controller and the built-in lamination algorithm. The robots are all composed of Omron SCARA with high load and long arm span, and the servo drives are all Omron 1S series, which can realize precise control of the action curve.
