Introducing The Solar Trax 824

BAILEY INTRODUCES SOLAR TRAX 824

Solar panel installation robot is the first robot in the field installing solar panels. This is not a concept or a research project. This is an actual working robot in the field today!

Drawing from many years of custom design lift equipment, the Solar Trax is the result of a several year effort, starting with our glass lifting Brandon Trax machine. Developing advanced products, such as aircraft assembly robots for Boeing, spacecraft clean-room machines for Northrop Grumman, to explosion-proof lifts used by the United States Air Force, we are proud to add the Solar Trax 824 to our line of successfully developed leading edge products.

The Solar Trax 824 will lift panels 8’ high and traverse 24’ to handle most Solar Field designs. The base machine is track driven, providing the highest degree of traction and terrainability. Designed for rough terrains and increased slopes, the upper assembly will automatically level itself for increased stability and ease of panel placement.
All hydraulic functions include Programmed Motion which combines multiple steps, such as “Raise-Left,” which raises the panels from the center position, trolleys sideways to the support frame and lowers it in place. Similar functions include “Home,” which returns the tray to the center position for reload and “Drive-Increment,” which drives the machine forward the exact distance for installation of the next 4 panels.
Incorporating Vision systems from the autonomous vehicle industry allows for precisely locating the solar panels onto the mounting structure.

The Pallet Management Vehicle (PMV) is used to bridge from current technology with 30 panel pallets located every 50’ to a delivery vehicle that retrieves the panels autonomously. Therefore, it can be used seamlessly with the current worker-based installations to reduce worker fatigue and increase throughput. The PMV is tethered to the base machine. It lifts and tilts a pallet up to 3000 lbs. and is self-propelled. The top of the PMV is a landing support for the tray where panels are easily loaded.

8 Wheel Steering Wind Tunnel Scissor Lift

8 Wheel Steering Scissor Lift

Custom 40’ scissor-lift designed for operation in a high speed wind tunnel. The maximum allowable wind speed was determined for every 5’ of lift which was available to the operator during operation. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was used extensively to determine the drag coefficient, pressure distribution and general flow characteristics of the lift.

Bailey Engineers Develop Rocket Launcher with Up Aerospace

Rocket Launcher

Bailey Engineers worked closely with Up Aerospace developing the launcher which will accurately guide the rocket into space. Key requirements included a very stiff boom structure along with very precise hydraulic control to accurately position the boom based on wind speed and weather conditions.

New Mexico Space Port

The new Spaceport located near Las Cruces, New Mexico is the first New-Age Commercial Space Launch Facility where the launch site is located.

While this effort took place several years ago, it is one of our favorites of many in the aircraft/aerospace industry.
