HORAD's labeling station prints and applies two labels per module: a barcode on the edge frame and a nameplate barcode on the backplate, using two printers and servo placement. HORAD quotes at least 99.5% utilization, a 6 kW load and a 2.6 T frame. Send label artwork, media and the serial source so both labels carry the same module identity.

This HORAD station runs automatic DC withstand-voltage, insulation-resistance and ground-resistance tests on finished modules and sounds a light and buzzer alarm when one fails. Grounding is by four corners or, for frameless panels, foam on all four sides. HORAD titles it Testing Jig Return System. Machine power is 4 kW; test voltages, limits, dwell times and accuracy come with your test plan.

HORAD's tooling circulation line fits crossbar test tooling onto each panel ahead of inspection, lifts it off after the downstream station and sends it back for the next module. The machine runs on 380 V with 20 kW and weighs 2.2 T. It moves tooling only; electrical test ranges, jig stock, contact life and cycle time are figures to request from HORAD for your own tester and module sizes.

HORAD's capping station snaps lids onto module junction boxes with two robots, one placing parts while the other caps. The robots use pressure-sensing feedback for closed-loop pressing, and each lid is checked by vacuum, an upper camera and a side reinspection camera. Boxes on modules 1650 to 2550 mm long can be capped; the station weighs 1.7 T and runs on AC380 V at 5 kW.

Sold as a curing system, this HORAD unit picks modules with clamps or suction cups and stacks them in a staggered pattern on servo axes while sealant sets. HORAD says both pickup methods suit framed and double-glass modules. It draws 11 kW at 380 V, takes panels from 1650 to 2550 mm long and needs 0.5–0.8 MPa air.

HORAD's potting station mixes two-part AB adhesive and fills the three junction boxes on the back of a module. A screw-pump system meters the A and B parts, X/Y servo belts and a Z cylinder put the nozzle over each box, and a button or pulse signal triggers each shot with adjustable flow and time. It runs on 380 V and 3 kW.

Two six-axis robots wipe leftover sealant from the four frame joints on both the A and B sides of each module. HORAD feeds them foam saved from incoming cell packaging, swaps the wiping material every four hours and keeps two fixture-box sets per machine for quick reloads. It handles panels from 1640 to 2650 mm long on 380 V and 11 kW.

HORAD's corner press squeezes sealant into all four corners of a framed module, then shapes the joint so the gap between glass and frame ends at 0.3 mm or less. Lower push plates and upper pressure plates run on air and servo drive, a sensor reports pressing pressure, and an overhead camera compares the glued corners before and after. It takes modules from 1680 to 2650 mm long.

HORAD's framing system pairs a frame gantry with an assembly machine that run independently, so frame supply and fitting stay out of each other's way. HORAD lists diagonal accuracy of ±1.0 mm, profile height difference and corner gap each at ≤0.3 mm, and a framing cycle of ≤12 seconds on panels from 1650 × 990 to 2650 × 1500 mm.

HORAD's junction-box soldering station stops and lines up each module, finds the terminal with a camera and melts the ribbon and the box's tin block using high-frequency heat passed through a ceramic rod. Module formats run from 1650 × 990 up to 2650 × 1500 mm, and the station draws 380 V / 22 kW. Ask for the heating window and joint data before ordering.

HORAD's mounting station picks junction boxes out of a jumbled supply with a 3D camera and a six-axis robot, flips and feeds them on belts, and presses each box onto the module while vibration helps it settle over the leads. It covers panels 2550–1650 × 1450–990 mm and draws 380 V / 15 kW. Send your box drawing with the enquiry.

This HORAD station runs inline on the module's back face and lays adhesive along programmed paths at the three spots where junction boxes will sit. X and Y servos plus a Z cylinder place the valve, and flow and time are adjustable. It covers panels from 2550 × 1450 down to 1650 × 990 mm at 380 V / 5 kW. Box potting is a separate HORAD machine.
