PV MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT
Find machinery by production stage and the requirements of your line.
The stringer is the first big machine of module assembly. It takes finished cells, often cuts them into half or narrower pieces, lays ribbon or wire across them and solders the joints into a string. Upstream you need cells delivered in carriers that suit your cell material handling, plus ribbon or wire from PV ribbon and busbar materials that matches the busbar design printed by metallization equipment. If cutting happens off the stringer, it runs on laser scribing tools. Downstream, finished strings move to layup systems and then to module laminators; the laminator buying guide covers that next step. If you are buying a full line, compare against module production lines as well.
Each listed machine reports speed in a different unit, which is why this class needs care:
Convert every quote into accepted strings per hour for your own cell, ribbon and cells-per-string recipe. The guide on comparing cell stringer throughput walks through the conversion. Ask each maker to state which cutting and inspection steps sit inside the cycle, and run a soldering trial on your cells so breakage and first-pass yield come from your material rather than a brochure table. The guide on breakage rate and cycle time claims shows how to record both in one run. Where a maker lists more cell types than its speed table covers, check the guide on TOPCon, HJT and back-contact compatibility and get your cell type named in the offer.
For solar cell tabber stringers, begin your enquiry with cell technology, full or cut-cell format and interconnection design. Request a configuration-specific quotation and agree on output units, handling loss, inspection criteria and upstream/downstream interfaces. Each listing shows the published values and the questions to confirm.
JX012 is Junxiang's automatic stringer for long, narrow cut cells from (15–53) × (39–210) mm. It solders with infrared lamps, builds strings up to 700 mm and lists up to 7,200 cells per hour with one busbar or 2,400 with multiple busbars. It joins cells into strings; the rest of the module line is quoted separately.
Ningbo Junxiang Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd.The SS-1500B is Ooitech's automatic tabber stringer for BC, TOPCon, PERC and HJT cells. It loads cells automatically, checks them with CCD vision, places them with a four-axis robot and solders with infrared heat. The data table gives 1,200 pieces per hour on TOPCon/PERC and 1,000 on BC, strings up to 1800 mm, and flat ribbon 0.35–1.0 mm wide.
Wuhan Ooi Photoelectric Technology Co., Ltd.Autowell's AM050EH/FH stringer cuts cells without damage and solders them into strings in one machine. Autowell lists 156–230 mm cells, a Teflon conveyor for thin cells, several ribbon forms and 0BB upgrade options. The product page rates it at 7,200 strips per hour; ask Autowell how a strip converts to finished strings for your layout.
Wuxi Autowell Technology Co., Ltd.The ConfirmWare AMS120CA cuts cells by inline non-destructive cutting and strings them with infrared soldering in one machine. ConfirmWare rates it at 12,000 half-cells per hour, with a standard maximum string length of 1,300 mm and PERC, TOPCon and HJT compatibility. Vision handling and production-system interfaces are included in the design. Prove the rating on your own cells in an acceptance run.
Hangzhou ConfirmWare Technology Co., Ltd.Exact filters only match published specifications. Listings without that published value are not shown.
A tabber stringer converts the agreed cell format into an interconnected string. The quotation must state whether cutting, loading, soldering, inspection and unloading are included. Capacity figures only become comparable after the supplier identifies the output unit and the interconnection design.
Keep cells per hour, strips per hour and completed strings per hour separate until their definitions are agreed. Compare accepted output on the same cell technology and format. Record uptime and changeover assumptions rather than presenting nameplate speed as shift production.
Agree representative cells, interconnection materials and string layout. Measure accepted output and the defined soldering or connection quality during the run. Record breaks, rejected strings and interruptions so the trial can be interpreted correctly.
Do not convert a catalogue unit silently or use a rate for one cell technology as the rate for another. Check that any upgrade option you need is written into the quoted configuration.
