he rapid development of the photovoltaic industry has made photovoltaic bracket equipment a key tool for the installation of photovoltaic power stations. During the inspection process of the Russian customer, we collected relevant feedback on the problems encountered in the design and use of the equipment and put forward improvement suggestions. At the same time, we will introduce the characteristics and advantages of photovoltaic bracket equipment so that customers can have a more comprehensive understanding of the performance and application scenarios of the equipment.
Problems found in the inspection and improvement suggestions
nadequate lubrication system design: The lubrication design of photovoltaic bracket equipment is not perfect, especially when dealing with stainless steel materials, there may be insufficient lubrication, resulting in premature wear or reduced efficiency of the equipment. In this regard, we plan to optimize the lubrication design to ensure that the equipment can maintain a good condition during long-term operation, while reducing the risk of wear and extending the service life of the equipment.
The connection method between the cutter and the forming machine base is unreasonable: The current equipment uses welding to connect the cutter and the forming machine base, but customers recommend using bolted connection, which is more convenient for later maintenance and replacement of parts. Bolted connection is not only more flexible, but also improves the stability and maintainability of the equipment and reduces downtime.
Use of Turkey head: The current equipment does not use the “Turkey head” before cutting, which makes the product easy to bend after punching, affecting the quality of the finished product. In order to solve this problem, we will add a Turkey head to ensure that the product after cutting maintains straightness and will not be deformed due to the punching process.
Missing guide wheels before and after punching: During the punching process, no auxiliary guide wheels are installed, resulting in the punching position not always being in the center. By adding front and rear guide wheels, the punching position can be accurate and the consistency and stability of the product can be guaranteed.
Improvement of dog tooth roller design: Customers suggest that dog tooth rollers should adopt an integral design rather than a segmented design. The advantage of an integral dog tooth roller is that it is easier to adjust, replace and operate, while improving production efficiency and reducing downtime.
Insufficient handling of short materials: For short materials below 3 meters, the equipment does not have a material support slide after cutting, which makes the material receiving process inconvenient. We will install a material support slide on the equipment to ensure that the short materials can be smoothly collected by the material receiving device to improve overall production efficiency.
Too long changeover time: The current equipment cannot achieve fast automatic changeover, and the changeover process still relies on manual assistance, and the fastest time is about 1.5 hours. In order to improve production efficiency, we will continue to study the fast changeover function of the equipment, minimize the changeover time, reduce manual intervention, and improve production flexibility.
Insufficient preparation for debugging: Before the customer came to inspect the goods, the equipment debugging preparation was not sufficient, resulting in too much time spent on customer on-site debugging. In the future, we will conduct sufficient equipment debugging in advance before the customer’s visit to ensure that all functions and operations are normal, so as to save customers’ time and resources.
Product features and application scenarios of photovoltaic bracket equipment
Photovoltaic bracket equipment is widely used in the construction of solar power stations. Its core function is to produce high-precision and high-strength photovoltaic bracket components. These brackets are used to fix solar panels to ensure their stability and power generation efficiency under different environmental conditions. According to customer needs, photovoltaic bracket equipment has the following product features:
Multi-model production: The equipment supports the production of multiple models of photovoltaic brackets and can produce photovoltaic brackets of various specifications according to different project requirements. Customers can choose different models of brackets according to the specific photovoltaic power station design to ensure that photovoltaic panels can capture sunlight at the best angle and improve power generation efficiency.
Automation and intelligent operation: The equipment has automated production functions, equipped with PLC control system and touch screen operation interface, and users can achieve automated production through simple operations. The equipment not only supports automatic translation function, but also is equipped with a rear hydraulic punching system, which can accurately perform punching operations, greatly reduce manual intervention, and improve production efficiency.
Fully automatic palletizing: The equipment is also equipped with a fully automatic palletizing function, which can automatically stack and sort products after production is completed. This function greatly improves the automation level of the production line, reduces the cost of manual handling, and improves production efficiency.
Support stainless steel production: As photovoltaic power stations have higher requirements for material durability, many projects have begun to use stainless steel. The equipment can handle stainless steel to ensure that it can maintain accuracy and strength under high-intensity conditions. At the same time, the corrosion resistance and long life of stainless steel also meet the long-term operation needs of photovoltaic power stations.
Customizable production: According to the different needs of customers, the equipment can be customized in design and production. Whether it is different photovoltaic bracket models or special material requirements, the equipment can be adjusted accordingly to meet the production needs of different projects.
Market application of photovoltaic bracket equipment
The application range of photovoltaic bracket equipment is very wide, covering the production of brackets from small household solar systems to large industrial photovoltaic power stations. The following are several major application scenarios:
Rooftop photovoltaic power station: The equipment can produce lightweight brackets suitable for rooftop photovoltaic power stations. These brackets need to be lightweight and easy to install, ensuring that solar panels can be installed in limited roof space and provide sufficient support.
Ground photovoltaic power station: For large-scale ground photovoltaic power stations, the equipment can produce larger and stronger photovoltaic brackets to support a large number of solar panels. These brackets usually need to be weather-resistant and able to withstand harsh environments such as wind and snow.
Floating photovoltaic power station: In some water photovoltaic power station projects, photovoltaic bracket equipment can also produce components suitable for floating photovoltaic brackets. Such brackets need to be waterproof and corrosion-resistant to meet the needs of long-term use on water.
How to choose the right photovoltaic bracket equipment
When choosing photovoltaic bracket equipment, customers need to consider multiple factors:
Production efficiency: The degree of automation and production efficiency of the equipment are key. Production speed and ease of operation directly affect the output and cost of photovoltaic brackets.
Material support: Ensure that the equipment can handle the materials required by the customer’s project, such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc.
Customizability: According to the specific project requirements, choose equipment that supports customized production so that you can flexibly respond to various photovoltaic projects.
Equipment maintenance and support: After-sales service and maintenance support for equipment are also very important. Regular equipment maintenance and technical support can ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
Summary
During the inspection of the Russian photovoltaic bracket equipment, we received valuable feedback from customers and made detailed improvement plans. At the same time, our photovoltaic bracket equipment has been widely used in the construction of photovoltaic power stations with its multi-model production, automated operation and customization functions. In the future, we will continue to optimize equipment performance and improve production efficiency to meet the diverse needs of global customers.
