METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ALIGNING OVERLAPPING ENDS OF METAL STRIPS

摘要

The invention relates to a device (10) for aligning overlapping ends (14, 15) of metal strips (12, 13), particularly contact bands at photovoltaic solar cells (11), wherein the end (14) of one of the metal strips (12, 13) is bent back, said device having an advance, displaceable first alignment element (22) for aligning the upper end (15) of one metal strip (13) and a trailing, displaceable second alignment element (23) for aligning the bent end (14) of the other metal strip (12), and a contact element (21) for the first alignment element (22) and a contact element for the second alignment element (23). In this manner, a rapid and simple mechanical automated alignment of the overlapping ends of metal is made possible.
