cooperations
27 August 2008 - Basler AG - one of the
leading companies in the Vision Technology segment worldwide - has 
arranged a mutually exclusive cooperation with the Swiss company 
Komax AG. The Komax Group develops and markets automation solutions 
for the automotive industry, medical engineering and photovoltaics. 
In photovoltaics, Komax sells process technology for crystalline and 
thin-film solar module production.
The cooperation that has now been arranged targets the so-called 
stringing process. During this process, a soldering method is used to
join several crystalline solar cells so that they form "strings". The
finished strings are later electrically connected to each other and 
form the basis of a solar cell- based solar module. As a result of 
this cooperation, Komax will exclusively integrate the "Basler 
VisionFit Cell Inspection" inline solution in their own stringing 
process. In return, Basler will supply only Komax with their 
inspection solution for the stringing process.
Basler's inspection solution is based on the so-called 
electroluminescence method. During inspection, an electrical current 
is applied to the finished string so that the single cells emit a 
weak luminescence. After that, a camera takes pictures of a string's 
single solar cells. An automatic image processing software checks the
pictures for defects that either affect a single solar cell's 
mechanical stability or reduce the efficiency of the whole string. 
The combination of Basler's state-of-the-art image processing 
technology and Komax' leading stringing technology allows a 100% 
inline inspection of the stringer modules at a rate of more than 
2,400 solar cells per hour for the first time.
"We are delighted to have concluded this cooperation, because from 
now on we can offer inspection technology for optimization of the 
important stringing process to the photovoltaics industry for the 
first time. As s result of our partner Komax' strong position, we 
expect to gain a significant market share in this field of 
application in the future. In addition, this cooperation represents 
further progress in realizing our new customer strategy that includes
focusing on our core competencies in the Vision Technology field for 
our solutions business and, for automation technology, increasingly 
on cooperation with strong companies from the process automation 
sector", comments Dr. Dietmar Ley, CEO of Basler AG, on the agreement
of the cooperation.
"We are convinced that the exclusive cooperation with Basler will 
further strengthen our position in the photovoltaics area. It allows 
our customers automatic application of a technology to check the 
quality of photovoltaics products after different production 
processes. Inspection with electroluminescence technology is very 
efficient and allows for the fact that the products must be handled 
with great care. This technology can be very well combined with the 
Komax-developed electrical performance tests. We can identify a 
number of irregularities on the basis of single cells so that our 
customers can carry out targeted repairs or realize quality 
improvements at earlier process stages." Claudio Meisser, CTO Komax 
Group.
