TAPE DETECTION SYSTEM

摘要

Disclosed is a tape dispensing machine for manufacturing a photovoltaic module, and a method of manufacturing a photovoltaic module with a tape dispensing machine. The tape dispensing machine comprises a gripper (125) and a sensor (305) within the gripper, wherein the sensor is configured to detect a first end of a tape (110) within the gripper. The gripper moves relative to the photovoltaic module if the sensor detects the first end of the tape within the gripper.
