The strings are fully automatically transferred from the stringer unit of the Tabber Stringer to the Layup Station where they are taken over by a gripper system. Camera systems inspect them for breakage and orientation, defect strings are sorted out. Two combined cutting-bending units shorten the bus bars to the required length and exactly bend them to the required angle before they are positioned on the glass plate with EVA foil. The Layup Station is already prepared for an upgrade of the line to 60 MW, because its modular configuration is designed for the integration of an additional Tabber Stringer on the same foot print.
