[0002] Solar frames, also known as photovoltaic aluminum frames, are a crucial component of photovoltaic solar panel assemblies and are primarily made of aluminum alloy profiles. Their primary functions include securing and sealing the solar panels, enhancing their strength and extending their lifespan, and facilitating transportation and installation. Solar frames are often assembled from components, requiring the use of CNC automated solar frame assembly lines.

[0009] As a further solution of the present invention: strip-shaped sliding holes are provided on both sides of the top of the U-shaped assembly table, and the sliding rods pass through the strip-shaped sliding holes.

[0010] As a further solution of the present invention: the electric cylinder B is set back to back and the lateral limit plate is located on the inner side of the strip sliding hole. The electric cylinder B is used to push the lateral limit plate to move outward, so as to facilitate the alignment of the end of the horizontal assembly of the frame with the outer side of the longitudinal assembly of the frame.
