Northfield Automation Systems

Northfield Automation Systems is featured in a Rexroth Bosch Group case study about utilizing innovative roll-to-roll thin-film technology to drastically reduce costs for the manufacturer of solar cells. Said Darin Stotz, “They (the customer) are producing solar panels 100 times thinner than typical panels and depositing semiconductors 100 times faster. That’s turning time into money to help make solar cell panels more economically viable.”

Challenge: Increase precision and speed while reducing development time in solar cell production

Solution: Innovative and highly customized roll-to-roll equipment that features a Rexroth motion control solution and applies semiconductor material in an open-air environment.
