July 2011 A high-accuracy drive and control system cuts costs and boosts efficiency in solar cell production – thanks to Rexroth’s shaftless motion control system. Converting the power of the sun directly into energy seems to be a fairly simple idea. But achieving that goal is quite a challenge. Compared with coal-fired generation, for example, [...]
March 2011 Standardized aluminum profiles simplify assembling solar systems. That saves time and money. Using Rexroth aluminum profiles speeds the mounting of solar panels by twenty-five percent. And anyone can use these “off the shelf” profiles without extensive training. No special tools are required. LG Energy Solutions, an American company that engineers and installs renewable [...]
April 2010 Photovoltaic panels are made of thin and extraordinarily fragile sheets of glass. To ensure their safe movement and precise positioning, the company Heckert-B.X.T. Solar, situated in the state of Saxony, puts its faith in the TSsolar transfer system made by Rexroth. These are the characters in Jens Bonitz’ nightmares: splintered glass, ruined PV [...]
April 2010 Power, heat, fuel — The world is turning to energy from sources that flow forever. Climate protection, supply reliability, energy independence, job creation. Many different objectives have driven the enormous growth being seen in the renewable energies markets. While the motivations and approaches adopted by protagonists at work all around the world might [...]
