1. No correct robotics

Robot manufacturers and system integrators usually design a robot unit for only one application, but if users do not have the correct knowledge of robots, they may face failure. The use time of any consumer equipment is closely related to how users use and maintain the equipment. It is not uncommon for some users who use robots for the first time to refuse training. The critical condition for a robot to adhere to its normal work is to fully understand its talents and make the best use of it within its working range.

Industrial robots are very special equipment, and their operation complexity is no less than a CNC machine tool. Similarly, when using robots, you need to be familiar with the basic safe operation methods of industrial robots, otherwise the equipment is very unsafe for people. Operators using robots must be trained in safe operation organized by the system manufacturer before they are allowed to operate.

Ignore relevant equipment of robot

Teaching pendant, communication cable and some special software are usually necessary, but they are easily forgotten in the initial order. These will lead to the delay of the whole plan and exceed the budget. When selecting robot products correctly, we should first look at our comprehensive needs and meet all aspects of equipment selection. It is very common that customers sometimes fail to integrate some key equipment and robots in order to save money.

At the beginning of the project, it is necessary to understand a series of contents such as relevant equipment and software required for the project. During the procurement process, relevant products shall be ordered according to the application requirements of the project.

2. Error estimation robot control system

If we overestimate the robot control system, it will lead to repeated investment and waste. It is very common to use double backup on the safety circuit. However, too high an estimation control system will lead to additional equipment costs, rework and delay costs. It is a common mistake to try to control too many I/O ports and add servo systems.

Safety control is a very important issue. While considering safety, we should also try to optimize the safety logic signal of the application.

3. Not considering the use of robot technology

Limited by the scope of investment, people who lack knowledge of robot technology and have failed in the past in adopting robots are the reasons for many people to stay away from robot technology. However, in order to win in the market competition, it is very important to get rid of the wrong robot technology in this field. But in many cases, it can help the overall consumption efficiency, market response time, increased consumption efficiency, simple operation, flexibility, repeatable use, reliability, precision and control ability, and can be used for a long time. These are the strong reasons for adopting robot technology.
