The Buffer is used for the storage of incoming wafers/cells during maintenance work or troubleshooting in the downstream machine. The wafers/cells are transported into the buffer magazine which then moves up one slot in order to take up the next row of wafers/cells. In case of any malfunctions in the upstream machine, the stored wafers/cells are transported further on the principle of "first in, last out" (FILO). In normal operation the wafers/cells are conveyed through the Buffer without interruption.
