PV MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT
Find machinery by production stage and the requirements of your line.
Visual inspection stations in this class sit near the end of module assembly and feed the testing and inspection stage. They catch faults a person might miss at line speed and stop a bad module before it is packed. Both listed stations come from HORAD, which also builds many of the neighbouring stations, so you can buy them as part of a module production line or fit them into an existing one.
The lead-wire solder-joint inspection station checks the joints inside the junction box. A camera finds each soldered lead, steers a probe onto it, and a pressure sensor reads the force when the probe pushes. Software then decides whether the joint holds. The check sits between the junction-box soldering station and the junction-box potting station, because once potting materials cover the joint, a weak one can no longer be repaired. Write the probe force and travel into the contract, ask whether the push leaves the joint intact, and agree how the force sensor is calibrated. Make sure each result is stored against the module serial, using the record format from the guide on MES interfaces and traceability. Box and lead designs come from the junction-box components class, so share the exact box drawing with HORAD.
The label-verification station aligns each module with cylinders, then reads three labels: the front barcode, the frame code and the nameplate. It follows the dual-printer labeling station and the framing equipment that carries the frame code. Give HORAD all three layouts and the expected values, and run wrong, missing, unreadable and shifted labels through the station before acceptance. The machine vision guide for PV equipment explains how to build that labelled sample set, and the FAT and SAT guide shows where each test belongs.
An inspection result only helps when it drives an action. Decide how rejects leave the line and how the station talks to the module electrical-test station, module electrical safety testing and the grade-driven sorting system, so every module lands in the right bin with its full record.
For pv visual inspection systems, begin your enquiry with inspection surfaces, defect definitions and the available line space. Request a configuration-specific quotation and agree on illumination, sample coverage, false-reject criteria and integration with line controls. Each listing shows the published values and the questions to confirm.
HORAD's verification station reads three identities on each module: the front barcode, the frame code and the nameplate. Scanners read the codes and a camera looks for a missing nameplate, print defects and labels set off position. It is light at 0.5 kW and 0.3 T. Bring code formats, matching rules and defect samples so the reject criteria are fixed before shipment.
Suzhou HORAD New Energy Equipment Co., Ltd.This HORAD station checks the soldered lead wires inside a module junction box. A camera finds each lead and its weld, then a probe pushes on the lead while a pressure sensor reads the force, and software flags weak or thin joints and saves the data. HORAD lists 380 V / 8 kW, 2 T and module sizes from 1650 × 990 to 2500 × 1400 mm. Ask for the test force, pass limit and sensor calibration.

Visual inspection systems must be specified against visible surfaces and defined defect classes. The proposal should explain illumination, image capture, decision rules and the action taken on a rejected part. Test detection on your own PV product before relying on a machine-vision label.
Compare detection and false-reject results on the same labelled sample set. Request the inspection coverage and blind areas. Separate camera resolution and processing speed from demonstrated performance on the required defect classes.
Agree a labelled reference set and test the whole station under representative handling and lighting conditions. Record missed defects, false rejects and ambiguous cases using agreed definitions. Confirm traceability and recovery after an interrupted cycle.
Do not accept a generic accuracy percentage without its sample set, defect definition and operating conditions. A demonstration image is not a production acceptance record.
