Industrial robots can replace humans in hazardous, harmful, toxic, low temperature, and high heat environments, and can also replace humans in completing heavy and monotonous repetitive labor, improving labor productivity, and ensuring product quality. Industrial robots, CNC machining centers, automatic guided vehicles, and automatic inspection systems can form flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) and computer integrated manufacturing systems (CIMS) to achieve production automation.
Robot for hot forging workshop
High temperature hot forging is a job with many unsafe factors. The working environment in the workshop is harsh, with high temperatures and high noise. It is most suitable to use industrial robots for operation.
Robot for die-casting workshop
The operators in the die-casting workshop produce under high temperature, dust, and heavy physical conditions, which require industrial robots to replace humans to complete pouring, loading, and unloading work.
Automation Production Field
Nearly 50% of industrial robots in the world today are concentrated in the automotive industry, commonly used for complex operations such as handling, welding, spraying, assembly, palletizing, gluing, polishing, carving, and testing.
(1) Handling:
Handling operation refers to using a device to hold a workpiece and move it from one processing position to another. The handling robot can install different end effectors (such as mechanical grippers, vacuum suction cups, etc.) to complete various shapes and states of workpiece handling, greatly reducing the heavy physical labor of humans. By programming and controlling the coordination of different equipment in each process, assembly line operations are achieved. Handling robots are widely used in machine tool loading and unloading, automatic assembly lines, stacking and handling, container and other automatic handling.
(2) Welding:
At present, Robot welding is the most widely used in the industrial field, such as engineering machinery, automobile manufacturing, power construction, etc. Welding robots can work continuously in harsh environments and provide stable welding quality, improve work efficiency and reduce labor intensity of workers. The use of Robot welding is a revolutionary progress in welding automation, breaking through the traditional way of welding machines.
(3) Spraying:
Spray robots are suitable for painting the outer surface of workpieces with large production capacity, multiple product models, and irregular surface shapes. They are widely used in industries such as automobiles, automotive parts, railways, household appliances, building materials, and machinery.
(4) Assembly:
Assembly is a relatively complex process that not only involves detecting errors during the assembly process, but also attempts to correct such errors. Assembly robots are the core equipment of flexible automation systems, with various types of end effectors to adapt to different assembly objects; The sensing system is used to obtain information on the interaction between the assembly robot and the environment and assembly objects. Assembly robots are mainly used in the manufacturing of various electrical appliances and assembly operations of assembly line products, with the characteristics of high efficiency, precision, and sustainable work.
(5) Palletizing:
Stacking robots are high-tech products that integrate mechatronics. They can meet the production needs of medium to low yields and can also stack various products such as bags and boxes according to the required grouping method and number of layers.
The use of palletizing robots can improve the production efficiency and output of enterprises, while reducing errors caused by manual handling; It can also operate 24/7, saving a lot of human resource costs. Stacking robots are widely used in production enterprises such as chemical, beverage, food, beer, plastic, etc.
(6) Gluing:
Gluing robots generally consist of a robot body and specialized gluing equipment. The gluing robot can independently implement semi-automatic gluing and cooperate with specialized production lines to achieve fully automatic gluing. It has the characteristics of high equipment flexibility, fine workmanship, good quality, and strong applicability, and can complete complex three-dimensional space gluing work. Installing laser sensors on the workbench for precise positioning can improve product production quality, while using grating sensors can ensure workers' production safety.
(7) Polishing:
Polishing robots refer to industrial robots that can perform automatic polishing, mainly used for surface polishing of workpieces, deburring of edges and corners, welding seam polishing, deburring of internal holes, and processing of threaded holes. Polishing robots are widely used in industries such as 3C, bathroom hardware, IT, automotive parts, industrial parts, medical equipment, building materials and furniture manufacturing, and civil products.
(9) Detection
During the manufacturing process of parts, inspection and finished product inspection are key processes to ensure product quality. The use of inspection robots can improve work efficiency and reduce manual inspection error rates. There are two main tasks for inspection: one is to check whether the dimensions of the parts are within the allowable tolerances; Another is to control the classification of parts by quality.
