PEMA SERVICE PORTALS FOR
MANUAL WELDING
When robo zed welding is not anymore feasible
due to complexity of design and unreachable welds,
manual welders need to finalize the panel and
block. A handy tool for welders is a service portal,
in which all welding and cu ng tools as well fi ers
toolsboxes are safely arranged to needed working
spots. With hoist systems, all tools are evacuated
upwards prior to transpor ng panel, ensuring long
life me for cablings. Welding fume exhaust systems
are integrated for keeping the welders working
space fresh and clean.
PANEL TRANSPORT
TRAINS
Transport trains are typically
used at the end of the panel
lines and at the block lines due
to the high weight of panels and
