Case study
Intelligent Welding of Photovoltaic Mounting Hooks
Challenge
A client from the renewable energy sector required a comprehensive solution for automating the welding process of photovoltaic panel mounting hooks. The challenge was not only to ensure repeatability and weld quality but also to fully integrate the system with the superior MES platform and provide real-time process monitoring.
The goal was to build a scalable robotic welding cell that would allow production expansion without stopping the process.
Technologies and Solutions
Process and Execution
The project began with pre-engineering – developing the concept, optimizing the process, and selecting appropriate technologies. The next step involved system simulation and preparation of control programs in an offline environment. After building the cell and commissioning, the system was integrated with the client’s MES and WeldCube Premium software, providing full supervision of welding parameters.
The project was completed with system handover and the implementation of service and post-warranty support.
Results
Full automation of the MIG welding process
Consistent quality and accuracy of welds
Quality control before and after the process via vision system
Digital supervision of welding processes
Real-time production analysis enabled by MES integration
System readiness for future expansion
