What it does

  • Laser-welds module busbars to connect the cells in series.
  • With the pallet lifted and located, vision, clamping and the weld head move on a 3-axis gantry to clamp, range and weld every joint.

Design features

  • In-line single-station 3-axis gantry with galvo scanning
  • Cylinder-driven single-point clamping for easy changeover
  • Handles single- and double-row modules
