With the continuous improvement of automation and intelligence in the manufacturing industry, industrial robots have developed rapidly. In the field of processing and manufacturing, the application of industrial robots is becoming increasingly mature.
The "Industrial Internet" in the United States, the "Industry 4.0" in Germany, and the "Made in China 2025" in China are all promoting manufacturing enterprises to apply industrial internet of things, AR, cloud computing and other technologies to achieve automated, information-based and intelligent smart factories.
Among them, industrial robots such as AGV handling robots, stamping robots, and palletizing robots have become the main force of smart factories and are widely used in the manufacturing industry. Let's take a look at their application scenarios together.
AGV handling robot
AGV robot has a high degree of automation. Replacing manual handling with AGV robot can greatly improve the efficiency of handling and liberate the handling workers from the monotonous and repetitive high-intensity work. The AGV handling robot achieves unmanned operation in the warehouse area, and the automated handling of goods, semi-finished products, and raw materials during the production process can meet the application requirements of different environments.
Stamping robot
Stamping robots are widely used in enterprises such as mechanical manufacturing, metallurgy, electronics, light industry, and atomic energy. The main reason is that these industries have relatively more repetitive actions in the production process, and the value of using stamping robots will be high. The efficiency of using stamping robots to produce goods will be high, thus bringing higher profits to enterprises. The robotic arm automatically takes out the produced products and places them on the conveyor belt or receiving platform to transport them to the designated target location, enabling one person to simultaneously view two or more injection molding machines, which can save manpower and material resources and reduce the cost of the enterprise in the production process.
Robot Palletizer
The palletizing robot is a neat and automatic palletizing device for packaging goods. It is equipped with a mechanical interface at the end effector, which can replace the gripper, making the palletizing robot more applicable in industrial production and three-dimensional warehouses. The use of palletizing robots will undoubtedly greatly improve factory productivity, reduce workers' work intensity, and effectively ensure the personal safety of workers in some harsh working environments.
Robot sorting
Robot high-speed sorting can accurately track the speed of conveyor belts in fast assembly line operations, intelligently recognize the position, color, shape, size, etc. of objects through visual intelligence, and carry out packing, sorting, arrangement, and other tasks according to specific requirements. With its fast and flexible characteristics, it greatly improves the efficiency of enterprise production lines and reduces operational costs.
Robot laser cutting
During laser cutting, the flexible and fast working performance of industrial robots is utilized. Depending on the size of the workpiece being cut and processed by the customer, the robot can be selected for front or reverse installation, and different products can be taught or programmed offline. The sixth axis of the robot is loaded with fiber laser cutting heads to perform three-dimensional cutting of irregular workpieces. The processing cost is low, and although the one-time investment of equipment is relatively expensive, continuous and extensive processing ultimately reduces the comprehensive cost of each workpiece.
Robot welding
The use of robots for welding operations can greatly improve production efficiency and economic efficiency; The parameters of welding play a decisive role in the welding results, and during manual welding, the speed, dry elongation, etc. are all variable. The movement speed of robots is fast, up to 3m/s, or even faster. Using robot welding can improve the efficiency by 2-4 times compared to using manual welding, and the welding quality is excellent and stable.
spray painting robot
The spraying robot accurately sprays according to the trajectory, without deviation and perfectly controls the start of the spray gun. Ensure the specified spraying thickness and control the deviation to the minimum. Spraying robots can reduce the waste of spraying and spraying agents, extend the filtration life, reduce the mud and ash content in the spraying room, significantly prolong the working time of the filter, and reduce scaling in the spraying room. Increase conveying level by 30%!
Robot Vision Applications
Robot vision technology is the integration of machine vision into industrial robot application systems to coordinate and complete corresponding tasks. Adopting industrial robot vision technology can avoid the impact of external factors on inspection accuracy, effectively overcome the influence of temperature and speed, and improve inspection accuracy. Machine vision can detect the appearance, color, size, brightness, length, etc. of products, and with industrial robots, it can complete the positioning, tracking, sorting, assembly, and other requirements of materials.
