With over 70 years of experience in designing and building assembly lines, test equipment, material handling, and process equipment, and with design and building capabilities in three continents, ATW is ideally positioned to design and integrate automated processing lines for solar cells and panels.

Our vast experience with robotics, allow us to provide solutions for high-accuracy placement of lenses, robotic spray coating of glass panels, robotic manipulation of glass, high dexterity robots and end effectors for handling wafers, water-jet cutting, cell sorting, and precise dispensing of adhesives.

ATW has successfully integrated third party equipment such as ovens, plasma treatment, lasers, vision systems, and soldering equipment amongst others. ATW’s solutions can range from a stand-alone cell to a complete turn-key factory.

ATW is not only an equipment manufacturer; we are a manufacturing-solutions provider. Our business model involves partnering with our customers, allowing them to focus on developing their core technology (the true value-add for their new products), while ATW designs and builds a flexible line to integrate this core technology. By considering flexibility in our design, the end product is a line that has the flexibility to match production requirements to demand and that can be re-tooled in the future for a different product. Our experience shows that this type of partnership results in the lowest cost of ownership for our customers.
