GBSWC13 Collaborative Welding Cell with MIG Source for PV Solar Racks

Overview

• • The GBSWC13 is a collaborative welding cell configured for PV solar rack fabrication.
• • A MIG welding power source and wire feeder run with the six axis cobot.
• • Operators load rack sections in the same cell, which suits photovoltaic assembly shops.
• • Stored programs cover different rack lengths without mechanical changes.

Specifications

Advantages

• • MIG source and wire feeder arrive matched to the cobot, which shortens cell build.
• • Stored programs cover different rack lengths without mechanical adjustment.
• • Operators load parts in the same cell, so one team runs the station.
• • A 13 kg payload covers torch, feeder and sensor hardware.
• • A 1304 mm reach covers rack sections from one fixture position.
• • The cell can be relocated as PV projects move between sites.
• • Fixture positions follow the rack drawing, so new lengths are added without rebuilding the frame.
• • Packaging follows export crate standards with rust protection for sea freight.
• • Commissioning support covers safety checks, program handover and operator training.
• • Spare parts for common wear items and cables are held in local stock.
• • Documentation includes layout drawings, wiring schematics and a maintenance schedule.
• • Remote diagnostics are available for controller and drive faults during the warranty period.
• • Installation supervision can be scheduled with delivery to shorten ramp up time.
• • Acceptance testing is performed before shipment and a report is filed for the project.
• • Operator training covers daily checks, safe restart and basic program edits.
• • Fixtures are designed to suit the part family named in the project brief.
• • Safety circuits follow the plant standard and are documented for sign off.
• • Trial production runs are supported on site before acceptance.
• • Wear parts are specified with local part numbers for easy reordering.
• • Programming files are handed over in the controller project archive.
• • Warranty visits cover calibration checks during the first operating year.
• • Spare cable sets and connectors are recommended for continuous operation.
• • Loader and unloader interfaces are tested against the line PLC before handover.

Applications

• • Welding PV solar mounting rack frames.
• • Welding rack brackets and rail joints.
• • Welding ground mount structures for solar farms.
• • Batch welding of rack components in factories.
• • Repair welding on installed rack systems.

FAQ

• • What welding process is used? The cell runs MIG welding with a matched power source and wire feeder.
• • What payload and reach apply? The cobot carries 13 kg with a 1304 mm reach.
• • Can rack lengths be changed? Yes, programs for different rack lengths are stored and recalled in the controller.
• • Can it be relocated? Yes, the cell is built for relocation as projects move between sites.
