Scenarios are an important part of the application of new technologies. The more scenarios are, the more extensive the application and the greater the expectation space in the future. If a technology is born without a practical application scenario, that is, it cannot be integrated into people's daily life and production, which has a fatal impact on its subsequent development.
What are the application scenarios of the manipulator? Its application features are very obvious, mainly replacing manual work in dangerous scenes or replacing intensive and repetitive actions. If the work scene conforms to the above two characteristics, the manipulator can be applied.
The application scenarios of the robot arm are mostly in the manufacturing industry, with heavy industrial properties, such as metal processing, polishing and polishing, assembly, machine tool loading and unloading, stacking/handling, rubber/plastic, sorting, etc.
1. Metal processing：
Metal processing refers to the processing of copper, iron, aluminum and other raw materials into articles, parts and components. It can replace manual forging, rolling, drawing steel wire, impact extrusion, bending, shearing and other processes.
2. Polishing：
The robot drives the pneumatic grinder at the end to automatically replace sandpaper with different grain sizes, and perform rough grinding, fine grinding and polishing on the workpiece. The robot automatically removes and replaces sandpaper with different grain sizes. There are two stations, one for polishing and the other for loading and unloading workpieces. The polishing operation is always carried out in a water-based environment.
3. Assembling:
Robot assembly here generally refers to automobile assembly. In the automatic production line, automobile assembly is divided into a series of procedures. Engineers set various procedures to cooperate with workers to meet the installation of doors, front covers, tires and other components.
4. Machine tool loading and unloading:
Machine tool loading is mainly aimed at the problem of difficult production loading. For example, textile machine tools, the material itself is large and heavy, and manual operation is bound to require more than one person to carry it together. Loading and unloading with mechanical arm, fixed procedure, fixed action, only loading and unloading.
5. Stacking / handling:
Due to the large supply of goods and the rapid rise of labor costs in the manufacturing industry or FMCG industry, automatic palletizing equipment for the packing line can improve production efficiency and reduce production costs. System features: the system is safe and stable, ensuring the stacking speed, not damaging the appearance of the packaging box, and ensuring the accurate position and stable stacking.
6. Rubber / plastic:
There are many blanking stations in the production of tire tread, which are tedious and repetitive and have certain risks. Therefore, it is hoped that a computer system can be designed to replace manual cutting to improve production efficiency. The one-shift working system can be increased from robots to two to three shifts, reducing production costs in the long run.
7. Sorting :
Under the guidance of vision, the robot follows and picks up the work on the conveyor belt, and then sorts it to different trays. The feature is that the vision system performs positioning compensation, and follows and grabs it online.
The application of robot arm in production and manufacturing has formed a certain trend, which is due to the vigorous development of robot technology in recent decades, the continuous realization of new technology application integration, the new positioning of automatic manufacturing, and the continuous development of application scenarios. Technology is the driving force, and the scenario is benefit and value. Only by generating value technology can it have a long-term impact.
