In solar panels production, a long strip of double-sided tape is applied to the edges of a glass panel for framing. The manual process was time-consuming, and seriously decreasing the efficiency.
I designed a tape applicator to eliminate the bottleneck and raise the productivity. Made of ultra light aluminum and equipped with grooved wheels, it empowers the workers to finish perfect taping even with a hand, and has improved overall efficiency up to 40 times. The tape applicator is now a standard manufacturing tool of the solar panel industry.
