Role: Production Engineering Manager
“In our solar thermal panel production process, bonding the glass onto the metal body is a key stage for the quality and durability of the product.”
Requirement
- Precise application of adhesive on large surfaces
- Glass-to-metal coupling with tight tolerances
- Need to cover large areas with high repeatability
- Reliable, continuous process for high production volumes
“The critical point was ensuring uniform dispensing and consistently correct coupling, avoiding stresses or defects that could compromise the panel over time.”
Solution implemented
- High-precision adhesive dispensing system
- Use of large-reach articulated robots to cover the entire panel area
- Automated glass-to-frame coupling station
- Control of process parameters to ensure uniformity and quality
“The combination of dispensing precision and the ability to handle large components was essential.”
Results
- High bonding quality and uniformity
- Improved long-term product reliability
- Reduction in scrap and rework
- Stable and easily replicable process
“Today the process is much more controlled and allows us to maintain consistent quality standards across large volumes.”
