PV MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT
Stringing, layup, lamination, module assembly, encapsulation/cable materials and PV connector/switch manufacturing.
Module assembly is the largest stage in this directory. A typical sequence is stringing, layup, lamination, trimming, framing, junction-box fitting, curing, testing and packing. Write the module bill of materials and line layout into your brief before comparing stations, since every machine here is configured around them.
The cell stringer class lists four machines, including the ConfirmWare AMS120CA and the Autowell AM050EH/FH; the stringer throughput guide explains how to compare their rates. Layup systems come mostly from HORAD and SC SOLAR, for example SC SOLAR's vision-guided string layup. Ask how strings are placed, checked and reworked.
Module laminators range from the Yiheng laboratory laminator to multi-chamber production machines; the laminator specification guide covers temperature and vacuum tests. After lamination, framing equipment such as the HORAD framing system and the stations in module production lines complete the module.
Several classes here are materials, which need qualification as well as a price: encapsulation film, ribbon and busbar, junction-box components and potting materials. The module material qualification guide explains which ageing and adhesion data to request. For acceptance of the stations themselves, use the FAT and SAT guide. Completed modules are checked with equipment in testing and inspection.
Define the module recipe, cell format and interconnection design before sizing assembly equipment. A complete module-line quotation should identify the responsibilities at stringing, layup, lamination and subsequent handling. Compare machine speed only after defining its output unit and test material. Describe factory space, utilities, buffers and existing conveyors, then agree how commissioning and final acceptance will be demonstrated with representative production samples.
HORAD's three-chamber laminator bonds the module stack into finished panels, moving each load through three chambers in turn. You choose one, two or three stacked layers, no taller than 4.5 m, and electric, oil or electromagnetic heating. The listed build draws 800 kW, runs 62000 mm long and weighs 240 T, for modules 1640–2550 mm long and 990–1450 mm wide.
Suzhou HORAD New Energy Equipment Co., Ltd.HORAD's sorting system takes finished modules, reads the grade already assigned to each one and sets it down in the matching position: flat, standing on its long side or standing on its short side. Servo axes do the positioning. The frame measures 12800 × 4950 × 4100 mm, weighs 8.5 T and draws 16 kW. Send your grade codes and pallet drawings to get a quote.
Suzhou HORAD New Energy Equipment Co., Ltd.HORAD's corner station feeds protectors from a silo at each corner and fits all four at once in a 12-second cycle, with a wrapping yield HORAD puts at 99.9% or better. It handles kraft, white and corrugated paper protectors on modules 1650–2520 mm long. Send protector and frame drawings so fit, coverage and hold can be trialled on your packing line.
Suzhou HORAD New Energy Equipment Co., Ltd.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.
Suzhou HORAD New Energy Equipment Co., Ltd.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.
Suzhou HORAD New Energy Equipment Co., Ltd.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.
Suzhou HORAD New Energy Equipment Co., Ltd.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.
Suzhou HORAD New Energy Equipment Co., Ltd.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.
Suzhou HORAD New Energy Equipment Co., Ltd.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.
Suzhou HORAD New Energy Equipment Co., Ltd.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.
Suzhou HORAD New Energy Equipment Co., Ltd.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.
Suzhou HORAD New Energy Equipment Co., Ltd.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.
