Industrial Robots

A robot is an intelligent machine that can work semi-autonomously or fully autonomously. Through programming and automatic control, the robot can perform and complete various production, life, experimental and other tasks. Robots have basic characteristics such as perception, decision-making, and execution. They can assist or even replace humans to complete dangerous, heavy, and complex work, improve work efficiency and quality, serve human life, and expand or extend the scope of human activities and capabilities. Industrial robots are multi-joint manipulators or multi-degree-of-freedom intelligent machine devices widely used in the industrial field. They have a certain degree of automation and can rely on their own power energy and control capabilities to achieve various industrial processing and manufacturing functions. Industrial robots are widely used in various industrial fields such as automobile manufacturing, electrical, metal, chemical, and food.

Industrial robot classification:

Types of work performed by industrial robots in the industrial field

Four major families of robots

The top four companies in the international robotics field are ABB, FANUC, KUKA, and YASKAWA. These four companies are known in the industry as the four major families of robot manufacturers.

Examples of the advantages of industrial robots

Compared with traditional industrial equipment, industrial robots have many advantages. For example, robots are easy to use, have high levels of intelligence, high production efficiency and safety, are easy to manage, and have significant economic benefits, allowing them to operate in high-risk environments. Work below. 1. Ease of use of robots In our country, industrial robots are widely used in the manufacturing industry, not only in the automobile manufacturing industry, but also in the production of space shuttles, military equipment, the development of high-speed rail, and the production of ballpoint pens. , and has extended from more mature industries to food, medical and other fields. Due to the rapid development of robot technology, compared with traditional industrial equipment, not only the price gap of products is getting smaller and smaller, but also the degree of personalization of products is high. Therefore, in the manufacturing process of some complex products, industrial robots can replace traditional equipment. This can improve efficiency to a great extent. 2. High level of intelligence With the continuous advancement of computer control technology, industrial robots will gradually be able to understand human language. At the same time, industrial robots can complete the components of products, thus freeing workers from complex operations. The welding robot system in industrial production can not only realize automatic real-time tracking of space welds, but also realize online adjustment of welding parameters and real-time control of weld quality, which can meet the complex welding processes of technical products and the urgent needs of welding quality and efficiency. Require. With the expansion of human exploration space, industrial robots can also use their intelligence to successfully complete tasks in extreme environments such as space, deep water and nuclear environments. 3. High production efficiency and safety. As the name suggests, a robot hand is produced by imitating the shape of a human hand. The time it takes to produce a product is fixed. Within the same life cycle, the output of robots is also fixed and will not fluctuate. Moreover, the production time of each mold is fixed, and the product yield is also high. Using robots for production is more in line with the interests of the company. The use of industrial robots in factories can solve many safety production problems. Potential production safety hazards caused by personal reasons, such as unfamiliarity with work processes, work negligence, fatigue, etc., can be effectively controlled. 4. Easy to manage and significant economic benefits. Enterprises can clearly know their daily production volume and receive orders and produce goods according to the production capacity they can achieve. Instead of blindly estimating output or producing too many products, there will be waste. The daily management of industrial robots in factories will be much simpler than managing employees. Industrial robots can work in a 24-hour cycle and can achieve the maximum output of the production line without being charged for overtime work. For enterprises, it can also prevent employees from missing work due to fatigue caused by long-term high-intensity work, sick leave, etc. After the production line is replaced by industrial robots, the enterprise only needs to leave a few employees who can operate and maintain industrial robots to perform maintenance work on the industrial robots. The economic benefits are very significant.

Characteristics and advantages of spraying robots

A spraying robot is an industrial robot that can automatically spray paint or other coatings. It is mainly composed of a robot body, a computer and a corresponding control system. The robot body mostly adopts a 5- or 6-degree-of-freedom articulated structure. The arm has a large movement space and can perform complex trajectory movements. Its wrist generally has 2 to 3 degrees of freedom and can move flexibly. The wrist of the more advanced spraying robot adopts a flexible wrist, which can bend in all directions and rotate. Its movement is similar to that of a human wrist. It can easily reach into the interior of the workpiece through a smaller hole and spray its inner surface. In the coating industry, many companies will include spraying robots in their production and procurement plans. Because more and more business operators have realized the long-term benefits of industrial robots. Through the comparison of spraying robots, manual spraying and reciprocating automatic spraying machines, it is not difficult to see that spraying robots have obvious advantages among the three.

Comparison of capabilities of manual spraying, reciprocating automatic spraying machines and spraying robots

Compared with traditional mechanical spraying, the use of spraying robots greatly reduces the labor intensity of manual spraying and solves the problem of uneven thickness of manual spraying. The coating production line generally works continuously. The tireless work of the spraying robot not only saves labor costs for the enterprise, but also improves the quality of spraying. They will perform stable and repetitive work according to the program instructions of the engineer. The spray gun and the workpiece maintain a set distance and angle. The output amount of paint is also set, and the atomization effect is also pre-set. Moreover, the robot can also carry the spray gun to the parts that are difficult to spray manually. The installation method of the flexible robot is very flexible. It can be installed on the ground, hung upside down on the top of the spray room and the side of the spray room for spraying. Not only that, due to the stability and consistency of the spraying, the robot will not spray over the range, which greatly saves paint and improves the recovery rate of paint. Safety is very important to enterprises in the spraying process. One of the great contributions of the spraying robot is to replace the spraying workers from dangerous working environments and boring working conditions, which can reduce the company's expenditure on protective equipment and reduce the subsequent compensation costs and legal costs for physical injuries to workers caused by working environment factors. The flexibility of the robot itself determines that it can be installed in high-density production lines or spaces. It can be installed in a variety of ways, such as on the ground, wall, rail, ceiling, etc., and the robots are of different sizes, so you can choose the robot that best suits the size of the spray room, which reduces the area of ​​the spray room and saves site costs.
