Send the process, the part and the takt target in the first note. Include the target task, part drawings or photos, product variants, the cycle or shift target, available utilities, the destination country and the preferred safety standard. The export desk uses that pack to bound the cell, the sample trial and the files that must ship with it. The site does not calculate a price from the form.
Yes. A trial can be completed before the full cell is released. The usual sequence is: lock a representative part, trial the gripper grasp or vision lighting, run weld samples or a simulated cycle, then record the result against the acceptance assumptions. Only after that does the desk freeze tooling, guarding and the integration scope.
FAT acceptance is the checklist agreed in writing before the test, not an open-ended demonstration. The sheet normally records five facts: whether cycle time met the target, how a quality result is judged, the changeover steps, alarm and recovery behavior, and the safety-function tests. Video and records must match one software revision, and open items are listed on the shipping note.
Yes. A first cell can become the baseline for a repeat program after acceptance. Before the next unit is released, four items are frozen: mechanical and electrical interfaces, the approved component list, the software revision, and the FAT evidence. Later cells start from that controlled baseline instead of reopening every engineering assumption.
An export shipment can include manufacturing, acceptance and packing files. The usual set is the layout, electrical drawings, the I/O list, manuals, the FAT record, program backups, packing and split photos, and the spare BOM. Each file is tied to the approved cell revision so the destination install can check it.
No. Complete cells are not the only scope. Cobot stations, end-of-arm tooling, control cabinets and guarding packages can be quoted as standalone systems. A standalone scope still needs the task, the interfaces and the safety standard, so the desk can confirm how it connects to an existing line.
