MATERIALS I TESTING
or silicon. The ZwickiLine and Proline systems from Zwick are designed to offer a stable platform with fast set up and changeover for multiple tests.
The ZwickiLine is a flexible, compact and cost-efficient testing solution for a wide range of materials and components. This testing machine is equally ideal for research and development and for routine quality assurance testing. ProLine systems represent the ideal suite of testing machines for function tests on components and standard tests on materials and were designed primarily for standardized tests. Intelligent features within the intuitive testXpert II measurement and control software work in concert with ProLine systems to deliver efficiency gains without sacrificing performance.

Development and manufacture of the ZwickiLine and ProLine, including all mechanical, electronic and software components, together with the comprehensive range of accessories, takes place at Zwick’s production facility in Germany, enabling optimum matching of all items, Volz said.
Software support
The application of intelligent software and digital machine control assists in making
the entire testing process faster and more accurate. Zwick’s testXpert II provides the first intuitive testing software that guides the operator through the test.
The flexible modular tool program can quickly and cost effectively be expanded for additional testing requirements. The test curve is always visible, allowing visual
monitoring during the test. Data transfer to CAQ networks is already accounted for in the Zwick programs, eliminating the need for hardware re-programming.
“The combination of dedicated test software with pre-programmed routines, the Zwick test machines and specialized solar cell testing fixtures can provide highly accurate and reliable test solutions for R&D and production, said Volz.
“The customer receives a complete solar cell testing machine from Zwick, covering all the principal mechanical tests,” he said. As demand for photovoltaic platforms continues to increase, it is anticipated that the volume of testing will rise.
Turnkey systems that support the complete mechanical testing requirements of solar cells lend substantial value to manufacturers seeking differentiation in an increasingly competitive global marketplace.
