Head office of the company SCHNEEBERGER & Business Unit headquarters

SCHNEEBERGER provides high‑precision motion solutions for the solar industry, supporting both thin‑film and crystalline photovoltaic manufacturing processes.

Drawing on decades of experience in precision motion technology, we deliver motion components and engineered‑to‑order systems tailored to the specific requirements of high‑throughput, large‑area, and cost‑sensitive solar production environments.
Solar manufacturing places unique demands on motion systems, combining large travel ranges, high dynamics, repeatability, and long‑term stability with the need for robust, industrial execution. SCHNEEBERGER translates these requirements into optimized motion solutions for processes such as substrate handling, coating, inspection, and metrology, ensuring reliable performance across different cell and module technologies.
By leveraging deep application know‑how, advanced materials, and integrated mechatronics and control concepts, SCHNEEBERGER enables scalable, production‑ready motion systems that balance performance and cost. Whether for thin‑film or crystalline applications, we act as a long‑term engineering partner, supporting customers from system concept through industrialization and series production.
