Top Four widely used industries of industrial robots

With the development of technology, the application fields of industrial robots are also expanding rapidly.  Below, the 2014 Robotics Golden Fulcrum Award for high-quality industrial robot products will reveal four areas where "robots" are widely used.

1. Automobile manufacturing

In China, 50% of industrial robots are used in the automobile manufacturing industry, of which more than 50% are welding robots; in developed countries, automobile industrial robots account for more than 53% of the total number of robots. According to statistics, the world's major automobile manufacturers have more than 10 robots per 10,000 vehicles per year. With the continuous development and improvement of robotics technology, industrial robots will surely greatly promote the development of the automobile manufacturing industry. And China is moving from a big manufacturing country to a strong manufacturing country. It needs to upgrade processing methods, improve product quality, and increase corporate competitiveness. All of these indicate that the development of robots has great prospects.

Before the introduction of robots in China National Heavy Duty Truck Group Co., Ltd., a worker could only look after two machine tools. After the introduction of industrial robots, one robot can automatically control 5-10 machining centers. From 2005 to 2011, Sinotruk’s annual output of trucks increased from more than 40,000 to 150,000, while permanent employees only increased by about 10%. The increase in contracted dispatched labor was also relatively limited, and the increase in output was largely attributed to the increase in output. For the introduction of robots.

2. Electronic and electrical industry

Electronic ICs, SMD components, and industrial robots are widely used in these fields. At present, the industrial robot with the most installed capacity in the world's industry is the SCARA four-axis robot. The second place is the tandem articulated vertical 6-axis robot. Luo Baihui pointed out that these two kinds of industrial robots, which exceed half of the global installed capacity of industrial robots, are our focus.

In the field of mobile phone production, vision robots, such as sorting and packing, film tearing systems, laser plastic welding, high-speed four-axis palletizing robots, etc. are suitable for touch screen inspection, scrubbing, filming and other series of process automation systems.

The robots in the special zone are specially made by domestic manufacturers according to the needs of the electronic production industry. The miniaturization and simplicity of the characteristics realize the high-precision and high-efficiency production of electronic assembly, which meets the demand for increasingly refined electronic assembly processing equipment, and automated processing is more It greatly improves production efficiency.

According to relevant data, the finished product rate can be increased from 87% to 93% by robot polishing. Therefore, whether the "robot arm" or the higher-end robot is put into use, the production efficiency will be greatly improved.

3. Rubber and plastic industry

The plastics industry has close cooperation and a high degree of specialization: the production, processing and mechanical manufacturing of plastics are closely linked. Even in the future, this industry will be an important economic sector and will ensure numerous jobs. Because plastics are almost everywhere: from the automotive and electronics industries to the consumer goods and food industries. As a process technology linking production and processing, mechanical manufacturing plays a vital role here. The raw materials are processed by injection molding machines and tools into innovative, fine and durable finished or semi-finished products for finishing-through the use of automation solutions, the production process is more efficient, economical and reliable.

To be in the plastics industry requires meeting extremely stringent standards. This is of course no problem for robots. It is not only best suited for the production of tools under clean room environmental standards, but also high-intensity operations can be completed next to the injection molding machine. Even in a high-standard production environment, it will reliably improve the economic benefits of various processes. Because the robot has mastered a series of operations, pick and place and finishing operations.

With its all-rounder characteristics, the robot's operations are fast, efficient, and flexible. It is strong and durable and can withstand the heaviest loads. This can best meet the increasing quality and production efficiency requirements and ensure that the company has a decisive competitive advantage in the future market competition.

4. Foundry industry

Multi-shift operations in extreme working environments—work in the foundry field puts a heavy burden on workers and machines. Another reason for making powerful KUKA foundry robots specially suitable for extremely heavy loads: areas with high pollution, high temperatures or harsh external environments.

The easy-to-operate control system and dedicated software package make the application of the robot very flexible-whether it is directly used in an injection molding machine, or used to connect two processes, or used to transport extremely heavy workpieces. Because it has the best positioning performance, high bearing capacity and can safely and reliably carry out high-strength operations and other advantages.

With its modular structure design, flexible control system, and dedicated application software, the robot can meet the highest requirements of the entire automation application field of the foundry industry. It is not only waterproof, but also resistant to dirt and heat.

It can even be used to take out the workpiece directly next to, inside and above the injection molding machine. In addition, it can reliably connect the process unit and the production unit. In addition, the robot performs exceptionally well in finishing operations such as deburring, grinding or drilling, and quality inspection.
