Peripheral equipment; however, in the solar cell manufacturing industry, when the tantalum ingot is cut into a solar cell wafer, it is sent to the manufacturing equipment for a series of manufacturing processes, and the design specifications of the manufacturing equipment manufacturer are tied into five rows. The solar cell wafer is manufactured (no four or six lines of design specifications); however, since the tantalum ingot is cut into solar cell wafers by the cutting device, it is usually arranged in two rows by the piece device. The most common configuration method is to set up two sets of cutting equipment with sharding function for a set of manufacturing equipment, that is, a manufacturing equipment capable of accommodating five rows of solar cell wafers, and matching with cutting equipment for sending four rows of solar cell wafers, If fed directly, the manufacturing equipment will be vacant for one line. 201100308 times, the conventional solution to the above method, if the direct supply will make the manufacturing equipment vacant a line of space, using a robotic arm equipped with a precision camera device, two sets of cutting devices with a slice function are sent out of the four rows of solar cells. The wafers are evenly distributed and placed in the five-row housing space of the manufacturing equipment, but the equipment cost of the robot arm is relatively high.
