Photovoltaic
Within the Photovoltaic sector, we offer tier-one design & contract manufacturing for OEM companies and printing & assembly machines under the brand name Grauel.
We'd like to shed some light on the following cases, where we proudly show some of our work within the Photovoltaic branche with our customer Meyer Burger.
I'm extremely proud to collaborate with our customers on optimising their core production, ensuring the continuation of their key production processes for now and future years.

Development & Engineering
The mechanical engineers within our engineering department develop tooling for manufacturing complex parts and assemblies. Our system engineers translate the product requirements into system development specifications for functional and dedicated qualification tools. Our goal is to have all AAE products comply with the specifications our customers require.

Automation Platforms
We provide turnkey, custom-made printing and assembly automations under the brandname Grauel. By offering various automation platforms, Continuous Motion (CMS), Indexing Motion System (IMS) and Flexible Motion System (FMS), we are able to provide our customers with tailor fit solutions.
- Linear indexing
This platform offers you both great operator accessibility and a small footprint (LCS). - Round indexing
If the number of automation processes is limited, we apply round indexing tables. - Flexible Motion System
The Flexible Motion System does what it says: it guarantees maximum flexibility! The key in FMS is the fact that the product carriers are independently controlled, which enables processing of different cycle times within one machine.

Printing & Assembly Automation
- Inkjet Printing
- Laser Marking
- Feeding
- Vision Inspection
- Labelling

Product Lifecycle Management
After the validation of the product design, industrialisation of the manufacturing process is key to securing continuous delivery of your product.
Service
After installation, your machine is in the safe hands of our service department. We support you with periodic operator training, maintenance and improvements or spare parts. We keep a log of all machines. In our feasibility centre, we can simulate your process and make product print samples for you.
I do everything to enable our customers to reach their objectives with our machines, so they look back with satisfaction to their collaboration with AAE.
