EQUIPMENT SERIES
Second-glass flip and layup
Suzhou SC-Solar Equipment Co., Ltd. ↗This station closes a double-glass module. It picks the second glass by vacuum, flips it 180° and sets it on the stack at the alignment station, aiming for 12 seconds or less per module.
This is the station that places the rear glass on a finished layup. Unpacking glass and removing interleaf paper happen at a separate front-glass loader.

START WITH YOUR PRODUCTION TASK
Order it for double-glass lines that need automatic rear-glass placement. Tell SC-Solar which face is coated, where the cups may touch and how tall the stack is, agree the final alignment, and accept on full flip cycles with glass and cell inspection.

Turning the rear glass onto the stack
Vacuum cups lift the second glass, the head turns it 180° and lays it down at the alignment station. Servo drives handle alignment and feed, and format changes are quick. The table gives long-edge feed and four-side alignment. SC-Solar lists no coated-face rules, glass thickness or weight, cup layout or numeric alignment tolerance; ask for these in the offer.
The glass lands on cells, ribbons and film that are already in place, so clearance, contact and orientation decide whether the module survives. A 12-second figure only means something once your stack, alignment target, damage limits and transfer are fixed. Paper removal and cleaning are features of SC-Solar's front glass loader and are not part of this machine. Once closed, the stack travels to lamination, for example on the SC-Solar laminator series, so check alignment after that transfer too.

Alignment
Allowed offset, edge and gap references, and how much movement or damage is acceptable after placing and transfer.
Faults
What happens on vacuum loss, a glass fed the wrong way, a rejected pane or a half-closed module.

Buyer questions on second-glass layup
Does it remove interleaf paper?
No. SC-Solar lists paper removal on its front glass loader.
What placement accuracy does it reach?
No number is published. Ask SC-Solar to state one for your glass in writing.
Which glass thicknesses can it lift?
The catalogue gives length and width only. Confirm thickness and weight limits with SC-Solar.
